Who cares that John Kerry lied about his Christmas in Cambodia fantasy? LOL! You imbecile! John Kerry is running on the pledge that he will never lie to the American people yet this moron has been exposed as having fabricated the melodramatic turning point of his life after the SwiftVets demonstrated that he was never in Cambodia during the Christmas of 1968. That's the height of hypocrisy!

But what makes John Kerry's brand of hypocrisy truly dangerous is that it fits a disturbing lethal pattern of lying that has characterized his public career over several decades. Take his meetings with the enemy in Paris during the Vietnam war while our soldiers were still dying and our POWs were still being tortured.

The fact of the matter is that more people in Southeast Asia died -- 2.2M+ after Vietnam vs 1.1M during Vietnam -- after the US pulled out of Vietnam in 1975. And it was John Kerry who promoted the North Vietnamese peace proposal,in its entirety, and who proclaimed that no more than 30,000 people were actually at risk!

What kind of judgement is that? It's the same kind of flawed judgement that made him oppose Reagan at practically every turn of the most decisive stage of the Cold War while our spies and soldiers were dying. It's the same kind of flawed judgement that made him oppose the Gulf War while people were dying. It's the same kind of flawed judgement that made him treat the first WTC bombing as a law enforcement and intelligence issue despite the escalating nature of the subsequent attacks on our allies and our soldiers. It's the same kind of flawed judgement that makes him vacillate dangerously over the current war on terrorism while our soldiers and allies are still dying on the battlefield.

....Just as he has never brought himself to apologize for having said that committing war crimes was the norm for American soldiers in Vietnam, so Kerry could never voice remorse for what happened to the South Vietnamese when the Communists took over. Although his campaign themes often sound like a litany of second-guessing (in Iraq, Americans did too much of the fighting; in Afghanistan, Americans did too little), Kerry seems never to second-guess himself. Whatever he did, he's proud of it, even if he has to misrepresent it. That would be a worrisome trait in a president.
