Default All Talk and No Do

I had read that this particular pictured was a bit of "cut and pasting" as well.

But they were at rallies together....and they were part of the same anti-war movement. And he did testify before Congress in 1971 saying lots of nasty things about his "Vietnam brothers"......many who were still over there fighting and/or captives as POW's. And he did upset a lot of them as he claimed to be speaking for all of them..........something that he's never apologized for. He did take a 8mm movie camera to Vietnam and had his men film him, acting out "made-up" hero-type scenarios. And it's fact that the joke among the men when Kerry left after only 4 months...."Well, guess Kerry got all the film he needs for his presidential run." He DID toss medals over a war in protest.......even though he kept his own for his eventual presidential run. On the one hand he said the war was immoral, was ashamed of the atrocities he'd committed....the ones he said "his country forced him to do"....he protested it on return and tossed medals......and on the other hand, now, he has made it the centerpiece of his run for president. He hardly mentioned his 19 years in the Senate during the DNC convention speech.......but we heard a lot about his "hero status" in the war....complete with that self-indulging salute, "reporting for duty" stunt at the beginning. As Speaker Denny Hastert said the other day, he's done a lot of work through the years with Ted Kennedy, who always knew the issues and worked hard on them. But Hastert said Kerry was mostly a "pontificater".....talked a lot of what he "coulda, shoulda, or woulda" done......but never did. In other words, all talk and no do.

Now, as before, I have wronged and gotten too upset and now I must apologize again. I took it upon myself to call Livefrmtx a "complete idiot." This was unfair, and I want to give my apologies to idiots everywhere for making this comparison. I will try to be more restrained in the future. I only hope the idiots can forgive me.
You pacifist liberal!! You are just being your "spineless self"!! HA HA HA!!

Default Ooooo....you got me so good. HA HA

OK...so...My bad. Should'a checked ON THE PIC myself.

But, how does the veracity of the photo itself make false the message content?

Sorry you liberhaters love Kerry's contradictions (or maybe you don't?), but for certain sure no one else does.

Kerry a "hero"? Kerry tough on Terror? Yeah....along with liberhaters dreams of a "Terror Peace Summit" in Paris just as soon a Kerry, Chiraq, Arrafat, and a few other BUMS can get together for tea....

That's okay Mark. We think you're a "left-wing nutcase" as well.

Soooooo you think it's JUST FINE for your "repigerhaters" to LIE and CHEAT and in essence, make fun of YOU, their sheeple flock?

And then you go on to rant about Kerry...............are you stupid or hypocritical?

My hope for America is that the STUPID QUOTIENT will stop rising - it's the only hope for America. People like YOU and the rest of yuour ilk from texASS for that matter, are what's wrong with America today.

Default THINKTHINKTHINK!!!!

Back when the Cuban missile crisis was about to break, an envoy went to France and explained the situation to French President Degaulle and offered to show him classified documents to back up President Kennedy's stance.
DeGaulle said he didn't need to see the documents because "President Kennedy would never mislead us in a matter of war and peace".


Can you imagine ANY world leader saying that to the 'w' regime today?
HELL no!

Once trust has been SO shattered and foreign leaders SO badly treated, there is no going back to put band-aids on it.
We need a new POTUS who is a statesman.

Our foreign relations are a fiasco and outside monitors have to come certify our elections are on the up-n-up.

THAT'S the 'w' legacy!

Default It has nothing to do with the "W legacy"

Those outside delegates were invited to monitor our elections over ten years ago by our State Department. This is yet another twisted way to make another situation Bush's fault. Chalk one up for the liberhaters.

Default Who was right

I just have statement for all you right wing warmongers that bash Kerry because he protested Vietnam...

Kerry was right!

So you warmongers want to bash the guy for actually having the insight and wisdom to realize that what we were doing was wrong. And then having the leadership for trying to end the war and save American soldiers lives.

No offense... But you guys are idiots. Kerry is a Patriot for doing what was right at the time. You guys still think that trying to save lives by ending an unjust war is wrong. Of course, that is the only reason why you could possible vote for Bush. Because he is making the same mistakes and killing thousands for political reasons again.

You guys would jump off a bridge if President Bush told you so and sing the Natinal Athem as you did it. You may think that is patriotic. I think that is idiotic.
