The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

This is powerful stuff!

Once more rejecting the lie that Kerry has lock solid support from Vietnam Vets. A group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is online and telling the truth about John Kerry and his service in 'Nam. Their mission: "Goals are to restore honor of Vietnam vets; Rebut John Kerry’s unanswered lies; Bring the truth about Kerry’s service to the public"

Here is one quote I liked a lot...

>>>Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann, USN (retired), Commander of Coastal Surveillance Force Vietnam (Commander Task Force 115) and chair of the group said, “I signed this letter because I do not believe John Kerry is fit to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. This is not a political issue. It is a matter of his judgment, truthfulness, reliability, loyalty and trust - all absolute tenets of command.”<<<

The article continues:

>>>“We don’t understand why Kerry would make the centerpiece of his campaign an exaggerated account of his four month service in Vietnam 33 years ago, but since he is, we believe the American public is entitled to the truth about his service and about his charges about war crimes and atrocities,” explained John O’Neill, a Swift Boat veteran who took charge of Kerry’s boat a few months after Kerry’s departure and who debated Kerry in 1971.<<<

These guys would know what really happened over there...

>>>The Swift Boat Vets for Truth include the entire chain of command above Kerry: Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard, Lt. Commander Elliott, Captain Charles Plumly, Captain Adrian Lonsdale USCG (retired) and Rear Admiral Hoffmann (retired), as well as enlisted men, officers, men who served with Mr. Kerry, men who served in the same group of Swift boats and men intimately familiar with the operations and conduct of Swift boat operations during the war. The group also includes James Zumwalt, Lt. Colonel, U.S.M.C. (retired), representing his father, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, and brother, Lt. Elmo Zumwalt III, both deceased.<<<

OK, so liberals don't like him, conservatives don't like him, the people who served with him in Vietnam don't like him and the American people don't like him. Who thought he was the "electable" candidate? Granted, he is less unpleasant than Howard Dean but John Edwards or Joe Lieberman would have been far more formidable candidates. Either one of them would have outdebated Bush and Lieberman would have appealed to moderate Republicans. Once more the Dems bow at the liberal altar amd once more it will bite them in the fanny!
