#2 Actually, it was probably a smooth move on Kerry's part. Makes for a good talking point on the news shows.

That "taking the high road" doesn't work for us, doesn't mean that it won't work for others, who want to believe.

Kerry has zero in the way of convictions. He'll do whatever he thinks it takes today, and then he'll do whatever he thinks it takes tomorrow.

I hope the Swifties keep after him. Looks like Kerry is finally losing some blood for those purple hearts, afterall!

#3 Just goes to prove that not everyone can be bought!

Honor is alive and well among the Swiftees!

#5 Sorry, B, but if this was a "smooth move" then sKerry must take his weight in Metamucil.
He made it far worse by saying this:

BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there."

[Brant had two men killed in battle.]

KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."

Sure, let the 254 Swifties off the "war criminals" hook while pissing off the other 2-3 MILLION men who served in Vietnam and add to that the other millions of men who've served or are serving in our armed forces at any time!
The guy is an idiot as well as being a megalomaniacal sociopath--dumb + power-crazy is a dangerous combination, plus he worries about whether people like him (Hint to JFnK: They don't)!

#6 "all the rest of the veterans."

This guy is a class act. But... wasn't he, as a former Swifty, also a self-professed war criminal? What's going on? (Sarcasm.)

No way. First, he's far from a "regular guy". Second, he's still full of shit.

Man, this guy certainly knows how to win friends and influence people, doesn't he? What a dork...

#9 Look at the contempt they poured on the National Guard during the Bush service record fiasco. Combined with Kerry's ongoing alienation of the regular army, I'll be damned surprised if any current/former service member votes for Sen. JoKe. Well, besides Wesley Clark. Better try to get those absentee ballots thrown out again.

#10 Ann Coulter put it well...
"Kerry was in Vietnam for only four months, which, coincidentally, is less than the combined airtime he's spent talking about it. It takes a special kind of person to get that many people to hate your guts in so little time. The last time this many people hated one person after only four months was when Margaret Cho had her own sitcom..."

#11 Brant received a call from Kerry at his home in Virginia while he was watching the Olympics on TV

Damnit Kerry you made me miss the Icelandic Polevaulter, your are no better than a telemarketer!

#12 Robert:No way. First, he's far from a "regular guy". Second, he's still full of shit.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm just saying that for those who want [me not included] to believe in him, it gives them something to believe in.

Personally, I think it will backfire. It's a slap in the face to all of the losers who were stupid enough to defend him for the last several weeks. Flippity flop, waffle man. Ralph Peters said it best!

#13 I thought that Dole challenged him to publically appologize to all the veterans he slandered. He has instead privately quazi-appologized to a single vet who is ruining his chance for election.

#14 figures the Poles would do well in the pole vault. Do any other countries have Olympic events named after them?
