Howard Dean, the blatant opportunist endorsing John Kerry. [rquoter]"The real issue is this, who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?"[/rquoter] John McCain has a Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
so you regret trashing Kerry's war record four years ago then and are saying he should have been in charge ahead of the miserable failure that has been GWB?
McCain earned his medals, and then some. Kerry got three superficial wounds to the buttocks and left 'Nam on a technicality after 4 months after the weight of his own video camera starting slowing him down. He then returned to the US to trash the troops, lie about atrocities, and hurl his medals at the Capitol in protest. Yeah, kind of a difference there.
^ mccain flew 30,000 feet above the fray and pushed a button to drop some napalm on villages. Then he went back to his cushy bunk hundreds of miles off the coast, probably watched a few movies and drank a beer. Kerry was hunting hardened VC commandos down in the Jungle and blowing them away personally Kind of a big difference there.
Sam, are you attempting to diminish the role of the fighter pilots in the Navy with that comment? Are you suggesting they are not in harms way when they are in the air? How ridiculous. McCain was a POW for over 5 years and when offered the chance to leave after less than 1 year, declined it because the other POWs couldn't leave as well. Contract that to Kerry, who took advantage of a technicality (3 Purple Hearts and you get to leave), gamed the system with three superificial wounds and then got the hell out of there after a mere 4 months. Then he returned back to the US, lied about the soldiers, threw his medals at the Capitol, and severely undermined our military effort. These two circumstances are not even in the same league, Sam. McCain is a hero in every sense of the word. Kerry is a fraud, and the voting public saw through his act.
Howard Dean, watch this video and tell me who the Patriot is and who the fraud is. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5N-1-g90bW0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5N-1-g90bW0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
remarkable post sam. in nutroots world, i guess pilots are cowards, unless of course, they're flying planes into buildings, and then they exhibit true courage.
And Sam waves the white flag in surrender after having to resort to the Bush critique. I guess McCain is proving to be too honorable for the libs to poke holes in... HO HO HO the libs are screwed in November...
I'm not trying to poke holes in anything, i'm simply exploring your newfound respect for vietnam veterans which was absent a few years ago.
I have always supported Vietnam Vets. Just not sad sack self-promoters and dishonest cheats like John Forbes Kerry. It was you, Sam who did not support Vietnam Vets four years ago when you lied about and smeared the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. And of course your CHICKENS came home to ROOST when Bush defeated Kerry for the Presidency. Oops.
Amazing that I don't have to read any lip in this thread. I love the ignore list's function. Remember kids, Clinton was literally impeached! McCain '08!
Sorry Jorge but you and the rest of the 3 stooges (bassmo and bigshemppp) devoted several months of your lives attempting to tarnish a decorated Vietnam war hero. It's so incredibly well-documented that I don't need to bring it up. Mind you, this came after bassmo repeatedly declared that he was "not questioning kerry's war record" and assured us he would never do such a thing. IN any event - owing to this, you are hereby COLLATERALLY ESTOPPED from arguing any sort of war-hero glory. You sh-t on one, you have unclean hands. Accordingly, your flag waving privileges have been revoked. By me. OH - P.S. Somebody please quote me so that IROC it's devastating use of the ignore list function - which he has publicly noted, so as to make a pointed critique of me - is thwarted. IROC it, when you read this, know that a mere high school education is not enough to foil me, silly knave.
^ mission accomplished! KingCheater, you are headed for an ignore list too I fear. Maybe when you get here I will carve a gun out of a bar of soap and then we will overpower the guards and escape this hellish prison.
