Actually Lee1776, Bush has never condemned the ad. He has condemned ads from soft money, but has never specifically condemned this ad. Its a typical "dance around the question" act. And the report that Karl Rove and Bush Sr. in large part funded the ad was on CNN Headline News yesterday.
Actually, a report yesterday showed that the ad was funded in large part by Bush Sr. and Karl Rove. And many of those veterans praised Kerry in the past, but once approached for the ad, suddenly changed their mind. Hmmmm...
Nice Daiwa, on trying to take the high ground while yet remianing blatantly sarcastic. There were five swiftboats that day in which Kerry's record has been called into question. Vietcong were firing on the boats from each bank, and during the firefight, Jim Rassman, one of Kerry's crew, was blown off the boat. Kerry then pulled him to safety. Out of all the people on the five boats, one man (I think his name was Chenowith), who was also und
First off, Kerry in no way manipulated his way into recieving the purple hearts. He was awarded them by the US military; are you saying the you know better than the US military as to who should get a purple heart? Second, while it is true others stayed in Vietnam with more serious injuries, Kerry was injured three times nonetheless and had a right to go home.

Well, all his swiftboat crew members call Kerry a hero. And the video is an outright lie; watch a news segment or read a news article on it. John Stewart also hilariously ripped on the video last week on the Daily Show, you might be able to find it on the internet. I find this funny. While everyone that directly served with Kerry on his boat call him a hero, others that never served with him refute that claim. It'd be like someone saving a
Interesting arguments. Right now a friend of mine is in Kuwait, ready to go into Iraq. IN his first two nights, his unit had to move three times due to attacks. Anyway, I thought I'd just say some points. 1) The war was based an a false pretense. 2) In 2000, the administration said Sadam had no weapons, and was not a threat. In 2003, they reversed that stance. Talk about a flip-flop. 3) The rest of the world a
Draginol, the video is quite misleading. The group has put out many smear videos and commercials before, and has been under heavy criticism for them. The accounts are of those who "served with John Kerry." However, by "serve with John Kerry," they mean they served in Vietnam. Most of the people have never even met Kerry, and none personally served with him in Vietnam. None. As for the doctor who claims to have treated Kerry, that
