what does Kerry stand for?

hypocrisy

Bear in mind that I said it could give the appearance of hypocrisy.  Really though, what he does today is not necessarily at odds with what he writes in the epilogue.  If I remember correctly, he states that it would be difficult, but not impossible, for "New Soldiers" to assimilate into veterans groups like the VFW.  He could simply state now that, over time, this assimilation and socialization process has occurred.

The appearance of hypocrisy, however, likely motivates Kerry to just nip this one in the bud.  That's unfortunate.

DMF... I believe you have hit on the gist of it out of all the rhetoric..

Wars change people... they radicalize and damage some and they humble some and give them perspective...

Some of how a former soldier turns out has to do with how much he had to see and endure and some has to do with personal strength or weakness.

I believe people like kerrie and mc cain are  damaged goods.

I don't believe we want damaged goods in power.

Plot thickens after checking records

Admiral speaks out, disputes Kerry's account of 1st wound

NEW YORK -- Retired Rear Adm. William L. Schachte Jr. said Thursday in his first on-the-record interview about the swift boat veterans dispute that "I was absolutely in the skimmer" in the early morning on Dec. 2, 1968, when Lt. (j.g.) John Kerry was involved in an incident that led to his first Purple Heart.

"Kerry nicked himself with a M-79 [grenade launcher]," Schachte said in a telephone interview from his home in Charleston, S.C. He said, "Kerry requested a Purple Heart."

thanks horn...

It would appear that kerrie is for giving everyone health care and paying the military personell more money and better equiment and more of everything and he is aginst letting people decide how to spend their own money on schooling their kids and he is for setting up a huge burocracy of efficent and bright government people to study hydrogen fuel because private industry is too stoopid and wasteful to do it and..

he will also cut the deficit in half while funding all these programs and increase jobs (aparently all government jobs) and...

he will give even better tax breaks to the poor (do the poor pay taxes?) and the middle class and...

he will pay for all this by .....

higher taxes on the rich.

It all seems so logical and fair when it's laid out for ya..

oops... forgot... he is for letting the rest of the world decide what country should pay for every environmental theory that comes down the pike..... Wonder what country they will decide needs to pay for everything?

This the same Bush that campaigned with a platform against "nation building", and a "uniter not a divider"?

pffft...

The only folks that divide are the left....to listen to Kerry, you would think America is destitute and dying a slow and painful death. It's the same thing all over again....elect me and save America....please.

The left has always promoted class warfare....as if we all deserve the same lifestyle.....in this country you earn your living...your America is weak and socialistic.

Well....don't worry man....you live enough years, you'll see the ship go down....it's simply a matter of time before ignorance will breed what we deserve.
