I was not aware the right wing was doing this? Explain. And I would assume they would implicate Kerry and Kerrey as well. I am unregistered, watching the action, deciding my course. I find this webpage (note page not site) very troubling, especially when I go through it top to bottom. awolbush.com Is it true? If so why have so few present prominent and recent prominent Republicans served, at least ones who seem to be hawkish? This would include the media types. We have not one of the present political leaders who did apparently serve, except Bush Jr., and there appears to be some dirt there. Dirt is just dirt and until it turns to clay and sticks it is somewhat meaningless. It appears however the Republicans could use a few more McCain and Dole types in their mist. Or is this webpage totally dishonest in the picture it presents? If so do you have a better list I might look at. Are we the sheep being fed a line of shit by the Repubs is what I want to know? They likewise portray themselves as the fiscal conservative party. Then I go to this: publicdebt.treas.gov Our current debt total is now over 7 billion. It does not take a genius to conclude that most of this total has been accumulated by Republicans, beginning with Reagan. Then when we hear of comments by Cheney, "Debt does not matter, everyone knows that". What kind of shit is this? What is a person to think, as to who the main sheep molesters are? I think folks of all ranks have reasons to be asking serious questions here, not only w/r to foreign policy decisions of late, but perhaps more importantly of fiscal related issues.

Who's calling our war heros, "murderers?" They'll have to answer to me. Oh, it's Kerry who's calling our war heros "murderers." In fact, he called them rapists, torturers, and worse. In fact, it later came out that he didn't have a scintilla of support for his statements, which a Kennedy speechwriter influenced and put together with him: Vietnam Veterans Against the War Statement by John Kerry to the Senate Committee of Foreign Relations April 23, 1971 I would like to talk on behalf of all those veterans and say that several months ago in Detroit we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged, and many very highly decorated, veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia. These were not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit - the emotions in the room and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do. They told stories that at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.
