LOL! Again you run away like a sissy from the fact that the SwiftVets -- all of whom you have smeared as liars -- have already forced John Kerry to stop repeating his lie that the turning point of his public life was the Christmas he spent in Cambodia in 1968. Here's a list that shows the most disturbing patterns about John Kerry's record. He can run but he can't hide from a 20+ year record of moral cowardice like this. Another key set of facts even less explored is John Kerry's record in defending America and supporting our troops since he returned from his three months of action in Vietnam. For example: • In 1971, while still on inactive duty in the Naval Reserve, Kerry joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War, serving on its executive committee and as its key spokesman. In that capacity, he turned against all the men he served with, accusing them of committing horrible day-to-day war crimes and atrocities with the full awareness of officers at all levels. His words were played back to our POWs as they were tortured. • Jane Fonda was a key financial backer of the VVAW. Earlier in France, she was married to Roger Vadim, a communist, and later to Tom Hayden, another radical leftist. Fonda took trips to Hanoi in support of the communists. In broadcasts to our troops, she encouraged them to lay down their weapons. • Al Hubbard, VVAW organizer and executive director, was also in late 1971 a member of the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, a communist front organization. • In 1970, while still in the inactive reserve, Kerry went to Paris and met secretly with top communist leaders from North Vietnam. • During the 1980s, according to a recent interview with Caspar Weinberger, President Reagan's secretary of defense, Kerry voted against every single new weapons system — from the B-1 bomber to to the Strategic Defense Initiative — that enabled Reagan to win the Cold War and Bush to defeat the Taliban. Kerry also supported a nuclear freeze that would have given the Soviets an advantage. • In 1991, during the Gulf War, the U.S. led a broad coalition of countries against Saddam Hussein's takeover of Kuwait. Kerry now claims this is the right way to go to war. But back then, he voted against military action. • In 2003, after voting to authorize action against Saddam in a second Iraq war, Kerry voted against spending $87 billion to supply our troops with the necessary equipment, ammunition and armor. • In 1993, when terrorists first bombed the World Trade Center, Kerry voted to cut $7.5 billion from our intelligence budget. • Surveys done prior to 9-11 showed that Boston's Logan Airport was the least secure airport in the nation. People with weapons were able to board planes undetected. This was in Kerry's own back yard, and he did not correct the situation. Kerry has been a master debater and critic of everything but his own record on security matters, a record that reveals exceedingly poor judgment and is riddled with wrong positions. An Army Times survey shows three of four U.S. servicemen on duty in the Mideast do not want Kerry as their leader and will vote for President Bush. And an Annenberg survey of military families shows that two of three prefer Bush as commander in chief. investors.com
