What hogwash you just posted about Kerry-McCain. You state Kerry somehow gave Colliers a Vietnam deal worth "billions". Does Vietnam even HAVE billions? Then you state they were in a position to make "tens of millions". Which is it? Billions or tens of millions?

Is there any record this Colliers is the "exclusive real estate agent for Vietnam"? Sounds ludicrous as the rest of the world was doing business with Vietnam long before we were. America was the last country to do business with Vietnam. So no other country had any real estate interests?

Kerry's partner on the Vietnam normalization and MIA-POW was McCain and they did everything together in a bipartisan fashion. Both Kerry and McCain are honest and ethical Senators. Kerry turns down soft money, PAC money and takes no other special interest money. To attempt to describe him as some kind of corrupt politician is the height of mendacity.

Meanwhile, the current GOP is the biggest soft money lobbyist-unity opersation in the history of politics. That's the main reason McCain is so disgusted by Bushies.
"Money in, policy out" is what McCain claims is business-as-usual with the current administration. Just look how they protect their polluter frinds, timber industry, tobacco, HMO's and drug companies. Look at the excess money they're spending on pork barrel projects. It really is the pigs at the public trough.

As for Kerry's medals, he never threw them, never said he threw them and for him and everyone involved that was a very emotional and fificult thing to do. Our war heros telling our lying policy-makers that they didn't want to be awarded for a war that was wrong-headed and a big lie. Shame on you for siding with this crazy right-wing vet and his stupid lying website. The guy hates Kerry because he wanted to kep fighting in Nam until 2050. That war should have been ended in 1970.

Colliers has no office in Vietnam and no properties for sale or lease in Vietnam. Also no news from Vietnam. They're heavily into East Europe now. Check it yourself. colliers.com

Guess you ought to not believe whacked out right-wing Vietnam Vets websites, huh? It's all BS, believe me. I've checked out that site before. Do a dearch for "Kerry traitor" and you'll find it. It's all rubbish. Kerry's men in Nam loved, respected and totally trusted him. His boat crews still campaign with him. It's one of his great strengths, not any kind of weakness. One of the finest war records of anyone in government.
