The immediately controversial 'We need regime change here in the United States' comment last week by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry should have focused attention on this congenital liar and cover-up artist. While he smugly defends his comment, he tries to 'move ahead' and have us forget his previous transgressions: His most famous – and first – appearance on the national stage came when he supposedly threw his Vietnam combat medals over the White House fence in a protest against the war. Guess what? Those were not his medals; they belonged to another Vietnam vet. Kerry kept his medals so that – like today – he can play both sides of the street. Right out of the box as a presidential candidate, it 'comes out' that Kerry's real name isn't Kerry at all; his real name is Kohn. It seems his grandfather, an Austrian immigrant named Kohn, had changed the family name to Kerry back in the early 1900s. Sen. Kerry claims never to have known he was Jewish until two months ago. Is this believable? Kerry also claimed that he was in "perfect health" – even though he had already been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He finally had to admit his deception when announcing that he was having surgery. Of course Kerry also engaged in the ago-old game of playing both sides on this war in Iraq. Last October he voted for the congressional resolution authorizing President Bush to invade Iraq; now, speaking to Democratic primary voters – the one group that is overwhelmingly against the war – he proudly blasts Bush for the way he is conducting the diplomacy and the war. All these lies and deceptions pale by comparison with his biggest act of dishonesty: his performance as co-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POWs and MIAs back in the early 1990s. Along with Sen. John McCain, this was a classic case of a committee with a pre-determined agenda. For various and different reasons, both Kerry and McCain – along with the first Bush administration, which cooperated in the creation and activities of this committee – each had an underhanded and evil intention in their hijacking of this committee. John Kerry wanted to have normalized relations with Hanoi so that real estate associates could do business in Vietnam and make money. What stood in the way of this? The lingering questions about U.S. POWs still held against their will in Vietnam and Laos. So he took control of this committee and saw to it that the POW issue was crushed. Kerry destroyed anyone who stood in his way. Staffers were removed who produced evidence proving that U.S. POWs were still alive. POW advocacy groups who 'kept the issue alive' were threatened with legal prosecution! (A prep school classmate of Kerry's, then an assistant U.S. attorney general, said, "The leaders of these POW groups should be put in jail." That Kerry classmate? Present FBI Director Robert Mueller.)

Kerry needs to quiet down a bit. As Reverend Sharpton's running mate he should be seen and not heard. This what caused Gore to lose. His running mate rattled his jaws so much, that people forgot who was running for president. Everyone likes the internet and would very happy to elect the inventor of it to the White House. Lib should have been quiet. This should be a lesson for Kerry.

Kerry Quotes - "So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." So even he blames Clinton.

Kerry Quote #2 - "Second, without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. He miscalculated an eight-year war with Iran. He miscalculated the invasion of Kuwait. He miscalculated America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength. He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction." So Kerry agrees with Bush.

Kerry Quote #3 - "In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing."

This will be the theme of the next election. Patriotism will be questioned of anyone who disagrees with the current administration. It will be a tough job for any Democrat to break free of that sort of character attack. Which is all the more ironic given at least the rumor of Bush's 'war time' service you posted yesterday. I have not seen any of the rightists here respond, but I suspect it is because THAT is the best response: silence. I do not know why it was not picked up, unless it is the fact that it is not 'news', having apparently been used against him by Richards in Texas (to no avail). Even you did not adequately answer that question; it cannot be a 'coverup' if it has been reported. However, in the current jingoism of the extreme right, it may attain new relevance as the patriotism and war record of everyone is questioned. Or do we examine the war records of just Democrats?
