You don't consider gunshot and shrapnel wounds serious?



Don, you are missing the point. Indeed one would think that gunshot and
shrapnel wounds would be serious, especially if they resulted in being
honored with Purple Hearts. On would think that they would also result
in
some serious hospital time for recovery.

The problem is that Kerry served no serious time in the hospital due to
these "wounds". In fact I think he spent no overnight time in any
hospital
as a result of these *injuries*.

What a piece of **** this man is.

What a strong man Kerry is, Gunshot and Shrapnel wounds, in the filthy
terrain of Nam, Leaches in most all water sources. Wearing the same
clothing
for days on end. Bugs crawling everywhere. Sweltering heat, sweating most
all the time.

And here Kerry is, Shot... And going back out in all of it to fight
alongside the rest of his buddies.

And you think he would be more of a man for laying back in a hospital...
Naaaa the bravery shows, he served, he was wounded and continued to serve.

BTW, I hear nobody has stepped forward to say Bush ever showed up in
Alabama.


If Kerry was so ready to fight with his buddies? Why did he leave after his
3 scratch wounds? Why did he request the Purple Hearts? Yea that's right He
requested the Purple Hearts. Then left his buddies in only 4 months. When
the rest was their longer (Over 1 year). Yea he was willing to go back and
fight yea right! Where in the hell have you been this is past news. Even the
media has dropped it because Bush had not only medical records but also
People came out saying he had full filled his Guard duty in Alabama. Oh and
Bush didn't come back home a Bash Veterans Like Kerry did. Kerry couldn't
wait to get with Jane Fonda. This is also document in the Media.

Perhaps fox and newsmax are reporting this (If you consider them media), but
As far as I know, nobody has stepped up to claim the 10K Gary Trudoue
(Doonsberry) has offered for testamony that Bush was seen in Alabama

Jane was a babe in those days. Bush got back to his heavy drinking and
coke snorting

Four months into his *second* tour, Kerry's first tour was aboard the USS
Gridley.

Bill is still trying to find someone to read him the manual for the GED

A tour of duty in Vietname was not accomplished while on a ship at sea, or
in port for a port call. While your ship was on duty and within a certain
distance from the coast you were considered in country. Kerry served 4
months in country.

As I said, Kerry's first tour was aboard the USS Gridley. Apparently, I
am not the only one who believes his Gridley service qualifies. I just
Googled Kerry "first tour" and came back with 4,400 hits.

Oh really? Is going AWOL in Alabama considered "combat duty" under your
criteria?

Not necessarily proof. You can google "George W. Bush Jr." and +
bestiality, and come up with several hundred hits, but that doesn't
prove he has had sex with animals.

THere are a large number of people who are not interested in facts.
Since the character assassination of Al Gore worked so well, the fascist
cretins are trying it again... and to their discredit, a large number of
otherwise respectable Republicans are willing to go along with the game
if it offers them a chance of winning.

Al Gore assassinated his own character due to his many failings in life.
Wasn't he kicked out, I mean asked to leave, law school and divinity school
for lack of performance. And, let's not fogtet that Al claims he invented
the Internet.

It's wise to check Urban Ledgends at Snipes,com before making a post that
shows what an ass you are.

Claim: Vice-President Al Gore claimed that he "invented" the Internet.
Status: False.

Origins: No,
Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything
that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The derisive "Al Gore said he
'invented' the Internet" put-downs are misleading distortions of something
he said (taken out of context) during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on
CNN's "Late Edition" program on 9 March 1999. When asked to describe what
distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential
nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part):


During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in
creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range
of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic
growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy (and self-serving), he was not
claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or
implemented it), but that he was responsible for helping to create the
environment (in an economic and legislative sense) that fostered the
development of the Internet. Al Gore might not know nearly as much about the
Internet and other technologies as his image would have us believe, and he
certainly has been guilty of stretching (if not outright breaking) the truth
before, but to believe that Gore seriously thought he could take credit for
the "invention" of the Internet - in the sense offered by the media - is
just silly. (To those who say the words "create" and "invent" mean the same
thing: If they mean the same thing, then why have the media overwhelmingly
and consistently cited Gore as having claimed he "invented" the Internet
when he never used that word? The answer is that the words don't mean the
same thing, but by substituting one word for the other, commentators can
make Gore's claim sound [more] ridiculous.)

However, validating even the lesser claim Gore intended to make is
problematic. Any statement about the "creation" or "beginning" of the
Internet is difficult to evaluate, because the Internet is not a homogenous
entity (it's a collection of computers, networks, protocols, standards, and
application programs), nor did it all spring into being at once (the
components that comprise the Internet were developed in various places at
different times and are continuously being modified, improved, and
expanded). Despite a spirited defense of Gore's claim by Vint Cerf (often
referred to as the "father of the Internet") in which he stated "that as a
Senator and now as Vice President, Gore has made it a point to be as
well-informed as possible on technology and issues that surround it," many
of the components of today's Internet came into being well before Gore's
first term in Congress began in 1977, and it's hard to find any specific
action of Gore's (such as his sponsoring a Congressional bill or championing
a particular piece of legislation) that one could claim helped bring the
Internet into being, much less validate Gore's statement of having taken the
"initiative in creating the Internet."

It's true that Gore was popularizing the term "information superhighway" in
the early 1990s (when few people outside academia or the computer/defense
industries had heard of the Internet) and has introduced a few bills dealing
with education and the Internet, but even though Congressman, Senator, and
Vice-President Gore may always have been interested in and well-informed
about information technology issues, that's a far cry from having taken an
active, vital leadership role in bringing about those technologies. Even if
Al Gore had never entered the political arena, we'd probably still be
reading web pages via the Internet today.
