All those swinging voters should watch it, see the faces and hear the
stories of the men called the "Swift boat liars".
Listen to Kerry and his friends and hear why they turned against the
Govt and its Vietnam war.


It might surprise you to know that many, perhaps a majority, of the Bush
supporters were also opposed to the war for many of the same reasons as was
John Kerry.

What *most* people, conservatives or liberal, did not do was accuse American
troops of being war criminals. What *most* did not do was make statements
that supported the Viet Cong and Ho Chi Minh. What *most* did not do was
stage backstreet meetings with VC party heads in an apparent show of support
for their cause.

Kerry did all of those things. I have no problem with what Kerry did in
Vietnam. What he did after returning to the US was and is reprehensible.
His meetings with the VC in Europe should have landed him in prison for
treason.

True, but it was all typical Kerry phony crap. His returning home and oposing
the war was just a prelude to running for Congress a year later. He went to
Nam with an agenda. He went to get a medal or two so he could use that to run
for office. He told people that he was going to be the next JFK. He had
fellow solders film him in Nam so he could use that footage in ads. His
slamming of his fellow solders was just a means of getting his foot in the door
to speak before Congress and get some face time in front of the public.

Kerry accused America's Vietnam policies, free-fire zones, harassment and
interdiction fire, etc., as being criminal. He did not accuse soldiers of
being war criminals. Many cite his congressional testimony as evidence he
called soldiers war criminals, he did not. He did relay confessions told
to him at the Winter Soldier investigation. The following link is to that
testimony. I have read it several times, and can find no where that he
accuses American soldiers of war crimes.

That showed how phoney or stupid Kerry was. There's nothing wrong with firing
in a free fire zone. Harassment and interdicition fire is just that. Lobbing
shells on supply trails during the night to harass the enemy who's bringing in
supplies. Oh and you forgot to mention Kerry thought the use of 50 cal.
machine guns was bad. What the hell is wrong with using a weapon your given to
shoot the enemy? Kerry was making stuff up and he made himself look stupid.
