LOL.  Actually thats not true, he aouthered no significant laws. I dont think he even co authroed any signifint law. He missed the majority of some of the most important intelligence hearings in the 1990s.

He is no way the average Senator, he is below par. He is a very poor senator with no accomplisments in 20 years.  And he knows it.

But I know it's tough for you guys, so:

Whatever John Kerry does must be good, or at least average!

Vote for John Kerry 2004 - he's an average senatr!


Really fellas, with candidates like this you'd be fools to vaste your time voting...

Yes, it really is two bad choices.

I really think its time for someone to field a good actor as a candidate. Have a crack team of politicians and economists behind him and have him as a fasad.

It really is getting pathetic.

SOB..food for thought. A prosecuter was not there with kerry but relied on three friends that were . Two weeks ago said prosecuter maybe had relied on 3 witness to a murder to be able to call said murderer a liar. The judge,jury and prosecuter were not there so how were they all able to come to conclusion that the muderer was guilty and therefore was a lier?

In your scenario, the prosecutor would have presented the witnesses to tell the judge & jury what they saw, not that he was a witness himself.  But that's not what this guy did.  He said that he served with John Kerry and that he is lying about what happened in Vietnam.  He didn't say that he has friends that saw the events that lead him to believe Kerry is a liar.  It's presented as though he was there himself, seeing with his own eyes, the events that Kerry is supposedly lying about.  IMO, he seems to be full of watermelon and politically motivated.  And while I can't fully judge the rest of the ad based on this, it really doesn't give much credence to their argument in my mind.

Oregon man says Kerry lied about war record

The Clackamas County prosecutor appears in TV ads

The Associated Press
August 21, 2004

PORTLAND — A Clackamas County prosecutor is taking part in the case against John Kerry.

Alfred French, 58, a senior deputy district attorney, appears in an ad that attacks the Democratic presidential contender’s war record.

The ad features 13 Vietnam veterans who say Kerry has lied about his war record. The 60-second spot aired for seven days this month in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

In the ad, French says, “I served with John Kerry. … He is lying about his record.”

Kerry received a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three Purple Hearts commanding a swift boat in Vietnam. French, in an interview this week, said Kerry lied about the circumstances that led to one of his Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star.

French said he is relying on the accounts of three other veterans.

“I was not a witness to these events, but my friends were,” said French, who was awarded two Bronze Stars during the war. “I believe these people. These are people I served with.”

One of the men is Larry Thurlow, a leader of the veterans group and one of Kerry’s most vocal critics. Thurlow, who served alongside Kerry, has disputed Kerry’s claim that the senator’s boat was under fire in March 1969 when he pulled Lt. Jim Rassmann out of the water.

According to Thurlow’s military records, obtained this week by The Washington Post, the five-boat flotilla was under enemy fire that day.

Rassmann, who lives in Florence and is campaigning for Kerry, said the ad is motivated in part by some veterans’ anger about Kerry’s antiwar stance upon returning home. French acknowledges that.

Rassmann said the group’s claims are false.

French, a registered Republican, said that he and Kerry served in the same unit in January and February 1969 but that he did not know him well.

BUSTED AGAIN!

 Former POW resigns from Bush campaign

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -- A former POW resigned as a volunteer to President Bush's re-election campaign Saturday after it was learned that he appeared in an anti-John Kerry ad sponsored by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Retired Air Force Col. Ken Cordier, resigned as a member of the Bush campaign's veterans' steering committee after it was learned that he appeared with other former POWs in a 30-second ad, produced by the Swift Boat group, criticizing Kerry's congressional testimony.

The White House and the Bush campaign have denied any direct connection with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which is funded in part by a top GOP donor in Texas.
