First of all, the word liar seems to be the lexicon of the Democrat language....look at all of the folks who have screamed it and said about Bush....Dean, Gore, Kennedy, Pelosi, Byrd, Michael Moore, most of Follywood dim bulbs....etc... I think when the SwiftBoat Vets for Truth book comes out this week, there will be AMPLE proof in it that makes their point. Personally, I have a good deal of difficulty thinking that 250+ decorated Vets who served this Country and gave their oath to do so, would ever lie about something like this. Ever. Remember, they are not being paid. They have nothing at all to gain from this. AND I think when things are researched, we will find that there is a real mix of political party affiliations with these men....Dem and Repub and Independent. You noted>>>>>> Now that I have, I see the contrast between his committment to serve his country in a combat situation and question those that chose to duck combat for themselves and choose to send other people's children to war. <<<<<<< I mentioned>>>>>>> Clinton wasn't in the service, Mary, yet he decided to send our troops to Bosnia and other places worldwide. So what is your real point??? What about Somalia? There were several of "our children" killed there too....And ditto with the USS Cole.... I personally don't care if Kerry lied just to make himself appear better in his eyes. I DO care that he lied to Congress, talking about all the atrocities that "he and others committed" and all the examples he gave....with no proof, and no record of reporting these so called atrocities.<<<<<<< Then you said:>>>>>>>> What is my point? When people are calling John Kerry a liar, they are not providing any first hand specifics - they are trying to smear him. If you call some one a liar - you have to have some proof. You have to at least make a charge - what is it that he lied about?<<<<<<<<
