After Twenty Four Years Of Not Passing Any Laws To Help Veterans…

...suddenly John Kerry is campaigning on helping vets.

Considering that Kerry was a prominent part of the original Winter Soldier “investigation” and managed to smear every single Vietnam War veteran as a war criminal (including my father), that he has the gall to campaign on being pro-veteran now is amazing.

Comments

O’Reilly was working with him and Congressman Peter King (I think?) on a new GI Bill. But on the last update O’Reilly seemed pissed that Kerry wouldn’t appear or provide a status on the bills progress.

I thought that was strange and perhaps a mistake, but now I know it was nothing but smoke.

Why would anyone believe anything Kerry says..?  He is a jackass.

Is THIS the John Kerry you were talking about? (From a 2004 Village Voice front page article by Sidney Schanberg)

Senator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973.

The Massachusetts senator, now seeking the presidency, carried out this subterfuge a little over a decade ago— shredding documents, suppressing testimony, and sanitizing the committee’s final report—when he was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./ M.I.A. Affairs.

It would seem that the Massachusetts Democrat has a great deal to answer for, especially to those whose loved ones were left behind.

Take care of our veterans, my ass!

I know this is politically inconvenient for you guys, but John Kerry has always supported bills for Veterans benefits.  This is in sharp contrast with the current administration who continually wants to increase the fighting force but cut benefits for veterans.

Lestat on April 9, 2008 at 11:37 pm

lestupid, JFKerry has not ever supported veterans or the military. Not once in his entire political career. He has, in point of fact, been one of the primary sources of veterans problems, and has voted against military and veteranappropriations(except when it puts money in his pocket) repeatedly. So tell your lies to Jesus, the Chaplain went over the hill, and none of us are buying your anti-American bullshit.

That’s right! He voted for the troops before he voted against them!



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

Lestat.  That is simply not true. I worked for the VA system.  Their budget was increased significantly, more counselors were added.  I saw it with my own eyes.
If you can, cite specifics where you stated: 

This is in sharp contrast with the current administration who continually wants to increase the fighting force but cut benefits for veterans.

Maybe you can fudge with your word “wants” sounds like someone guessing what another person thinks or “feels” about something.  We go with what other people do, not what they say they will do or how they feel about something.  That is the stark contrast between democrats and republicans.

Considering the business deals that JohnKerry and his brother have with Vietnam, maybe he was refering about “their” servicemen.

It’s interesting that you bash Kerry for his service to the country in the Armed Forces while disparaging anyone who dares criticize John McCain just a few posts down, all while completely ignoring GWB and Dick Cheney’s complete lack of service, evasion of the draft, ignorance of Walter Reed, and long, family-breaking deployment times.

Also, I got banned for saying Rob wrote an arrogant post a week or so back (I’m assuming it was an IP ban - couldn’t put through a comment because it wasn’t allowed), but I’m guessing 2Hotel won’t get banned for saying Lestat is “lestupid” and anti-American. Isn’t blogging wonderful?

If you got banned it was not for saying Rob is arrogant, lulzer. More likely you are incapable of operating you computational device.

As for JFKerry, his “service” was nowhere near honorable. And it was followed by a life time of spewing anti-American propaganda and stealing tax dollars from Massachusetts and America at large. Try again.

How can anyone sell-out so bad?  Tell me, how typical is it that those who point fingers at corrupt politicians ARE corrupt politicians?

Do you have creditable source to show that he never did vote for veterans?

dirl126 on April 10, 2008 at 11:17 am

lulz,

It wouldn’t hurt your case if you were conscientious enough to address your comments to the specific individual(s).  That lack of what used to be known as common courtesy is a hallmark of the self-serving adolescents of the Left and it is tiresome.

As for John Kerry, perhaps if your reading and comprehension skills, such as they may be, were less selectively applied, you might realize that Kerry is not being criticized for his military service so much as for enormous lies he has told about that service, and his steadfast refusal, to this day, to release all his military records to the public as he has repeatedly promised to do.

(Incidentally, your own lies about President Bush and his service is quite telling.  The main point of comparison is that Bush has not lied about his service and did release all his military records to the public.)

Perhaps another example will help you understand.  Jack Murtha may well be the single most corrupt scumbag to ever hold a seat in Congress.  But he served honorably and heroically in Vietnam, and while he is marginally dishonest by implying that his “33 years of military service” was active duty, when in fact only 5 were active duty and the rest in the Reserves, no one criticizes that aspect of his career.  Nor the service of AlGore, or that of any other public figure, Republican or Democrat, who served honorably, and didn’t pretend afterwards that his service was something it clearly was not.

You might check to see whether Kerry bothered to show up to vote in the first place.  His record of attendance was one of the worst in the Senate.

Personally, I glad to see that Kerry is still the opportunistc, swindling, two faced, flip-flopping con man he’s always been.

Actually, you didn’t get banned at all.  I responded to your comment on that post.  If I wanted to remove you from the site, I wouldn’t have responded.  I’d have deleted your comment and banned you.

But I did no such thing, because people don’t get banned here unless they a) spam b) post inappropriate content (porn pictures or something) or c) break the law (libel, plagiarize, threaten, etc.).

As another commenter pointed it, it’s more likely that you just don’t know how to run your computer.  If you were banned, you wouldn’t even be able to post in this thread.


The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Guess which guy running for President was on the Senate Select Committee on POW?MIA?

Those following the proceedings during the past year of the Senate Select Committee on POW and MIA Affairs have been mystified by the rabid actions of the one man on the committee who should be grateful that for the nearly three decades there have been activists in America who have refused to let die the issue of the fate of Americans lost and missing in Southeast Asia from the Vietnam War.

I am speaking of course of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). None of the Senators on the Select Committee have been as vicious in their attacks on POW/MIA family members and activists than the man behind the mask of war hero,

Harsh Words

WOOF on April 10, 2008 at 03:41 pm

WOOF:

Guess which guy running for president was on the senate select committe on POW/MIA?

WOOF stoops to linking POW/MIA profiteer Ted Sampler in his effort to bash John McCain.

But Ted Sampler is not what he seems to be:

According to author Susan Katz Keating, who has written extensively for the Washington Times and Soldiers of Fortune magazine, deception is what Ted Sampler does for a living.

And this from Keating:

Sampler accused McCain of being a weak-minded coward who escaped death by collaborating with the enemy.

And this:

After McCain declared his candidacy in 1999, Sampley revived his “Manchurian Candidiate” smear, a charge that was avidly picked up by talk-radio.

Woof, woof, but no bite.... smile

yfm,

Actually, you are wrong on all three counts.  John Kerry lied about his Vietnam service...wantonly and repeatedly.

Courage may not be easily quantified, but there is far more honorable service among many of the regulars here than Kerry certainly… I spent 8 times as much time “in country” as Kerry myself, and I have the original DD214 to prove it, and my original and only discharge was honorable.

As for Senator Kerry not being one of us, nearly all the other Vietnam vets I know wouldn’t have his sorry ass among us under any circumstances!

Hey, Proof? Perhaps we could have Lik or Toot check and see whose sockpuppet this is. It has spewed in a couple of threads during the overnight, and is attempting to personalize its shit. A bit to directed for a random pass through.

Perhaps it is lulzer, trying to get banned for real.

It amuses me to mock him for his stupidity, so I’ll take advantage of him while he’s here.
He’ll probably run from here in abject fear, claim he was wounded under extreme fire and tell all his leftist friends what a hero he is...just like his hero, John Kerry!
