Quote of the Day
Posted by Bill From the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth press conference: In 1969 and 1970, I was officer in charge of a couple PCF’s in Coastal Division 13, the one right next to John Kerry’s. The officers and men that I served with were honorable and honest. About 90 percent of us were volunteers; we knew what we were doing, we knew why we were there. I can’t speak with any assuredness what went on on John Kerry’s boats or with his crews; I wasn’t there. I do know that in a whole year that I spent patrolling, I didn’t see anything like a war crime, an atrocity, anything like that. Time and again, I saw American fighting men put themselves in greater danger trying to avoid … the term our politicians coined for Vietnam, I believe, was “collateral damage.” When John Kerry returned to the country, he was sworn in front of Congress, and then he told my family, my parents, my sister, my brother, my neighbors … he told everyone I knew and everyone that I’d ever know that I and my comrades had committed unspeakable atrocities, that we tortured people, raped women, burned villages without any reason, that sort of thing.

Gephardt, Lieberman, somebody! Posted by: Bill from INDC at June 16, 2004 05:18 PM Now that Lieberman guy, I would be OK with him as President (if I HAD to choose someone from that side of the political spectrum). A bit more boring than Truman, but that's all right. Least we know the cigars would be safe in his office... Posted by: yup at June 16, 2004 09:15 PM i like lieberman better than kerry. i think i would still vote gor dubya ahead of him, but with lieberman as president, i can at least know the pres has some integrity. gephardt? don't care for him Posted by: mlah at June 16, 2004 11:09 PM |
