March 4, 2004 -- Now that Sen. John Kerry has emerged as the top clown in the Democrat primary circus ("Nice Win - Now Let's Rumble," March 3), I have some questions that I'd like him to answer.
What specific injuries did he suffer to win his medals in Vietnam? Why won't he release those records?
The media went ballistic over President Bush and his National Guard records. Where is their outrage now?

Supposedly, Kerry is not going to be a wishy-washy, mealy-mouthed Democrat. I wonder how he'll accomplish that.
Perhaps he won't talk anymore.
He has spent his entire career in the Senate being wishy-washy, especially on the matter of defending our country.
Kerry has voted against most of the weapons programs that have kept our military strong. This, after turning his back on our POWs and MIAs.
Kerry cannot be straightforward on his record because, with respect to defending our country, it stinks.

All I hear Kerry do is lambaste our president.
When is he going to start telling us exactly what he would do to fix what the current occupant of the White House has supposedly screwed up?

Do we really want Kerry to be our president when he has flip-flopped on the Iraq war, flip-flopped on free trade and flip-flopped on our intelligence budget?
Do we really want John Kerry to be our president when he has voted against funding our homeland security department, against funding our troops and against funding our efforts to reconstruct postwar Iraq?

It was bad enough when the draft-dodger Bill Clinton was elected.
But, chest full of medals or not, Kerry's malicious slander of American troops in Vietnam is far worse than anything Clinton ever did.

Peter Beinart claims that Bush will have a more difficult time than John Kerry in defending his "special interest" supporters ("Kerry's No Hypocrite," Opinion, Feb. 21).
He writes that this is because Bush's supporters are largely corporate special interests while Kerry's are non-corporate special interests.
What Beinart fails to appreciate is that corporate America supports Bush because his policies are better for their companies, which produce the jobs, products and tax revenue that are otherwise known as the economy.
On the other hand, Kerry's special-interest supporters tend to be detrimental to the economy because they seek to tax and regulate companies, as well as force them to absorb ever-higher costs for labor, health care and child care.
For months now, John Kerry has been running around claiming that he can do a better job on the economy than Bush has.
Clearly, the corporate interests that drive the economy strongly disagree.
