Kerry POOR CHOICE FOR DEMOCRATS

With the terror alert raised, we are hearing the gripping start again that the release of this information is being timed to give a political advantage to the Bush campaign.

*yawn*

I am really sorry that you guys picked a sorry presidential candidate. But where your mistake was, was in being so focused on "hating" Bush, and "anybody but Bush", that you nominated a poor candidate.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: "Are you one of the anti-war candidates?"
KERRY: "I am -- Yes, in the sense that I don't believe the president took us to war as he should have, yes, absolutely." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 1/6/04)

You can't really say he is the Anti war candidate since he voted FOR the war in Iraq. In September of 2002, Kerry goes into this long speech about War as a last resort [1] . Since he voted for the war, I guess that means he felt the case had been made.
But if you mean he is the Anti War Candidate because he voted against the Gulf War, you know the one that the entire planet was behind, then I guess he is [2].

He is for the troops in Iraq, he is just against funding them [3]. But if elected, he promises that he will fully fund the troops in Iraq.

He is against violating our civil liberties with dangerous legislation like the Patriot Act. Kerry says....
"We are a nation of laws and liberties, not of a knock in the night.... So it is time to end the era of John Ashcroft. That starts with replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time. " [4 ]

Yet he voted for the patriot act. Interesting enough, you used to be able to get the quote above from the Kerry site itself... now it is a "broken" link hmmmmmm....

And this is a guy who, at the same time he is running his campaign on the fact that he is a Vietnam war hero, is trying to play a semantics game over whether he THREW AWAY his medals or his ribbons!

PLUS

The guy is a war criminal! He self admittedly committed atrocities in Vietnam. And he admitted to it when it was politically expedient for him to do so [4]. Now, when he is beating the "Bush" about possible war crimes in Iraq, he seems to have soften his admission as the words of a young man.
