Who said anything about Swiftboats? Swiftboating is now a verb in American English defined as repeating despicable lies about someone, usually a politician, over and over again. I am talking about the lies he *testified* to, under oath, before Congress. I am talking about his trip to Paris to secretly meet with the deligation from North Vie Nam *while in uniform*. I am talking about his medals that he threw over the fence. All of these are acts of a traitorous pig, and you praise him simply because he is a liberal Democrat. No, I praise him because he's a true patriot, not some sort of blind jingo. If he was a Republican, you would be on him like white on rice.

![]() wrote in message ... Which brings us back to a paraphrasing of my question: just what kind of pol is this sumbitch, what did that piece of **** Kennedy get out of the deal, and just bad is it gonna wind up ****ing _me_? Rick, can I put out the possibility that you are overanalyzing this? From a purely partisan politics standpoint, perhaps old Teddy calculated that Hillary can cause the Republicans to suddenly get united, in a way Obama can't. Knowing it will take a wave of support to keep the party from nominating Hillary, he may have gambled on the path most likely to sweep more Dems into office, without any big-time tradeoffs. Certainly, his political goals don't differ so much from Obamas as to necessitate a 'deal with the devil', and in recent years, Kennedy has been a rare example of trying to work deals between GOP and Dem groups.

@trndny06: p.s. Why is it that that event hasn't been questioned more? The first chapter of one of Michael Moore's books deals extensively with this. The "his family had no involvement with bin Laden" just holds zero water. It hasn't been investigated, as NOTHING (aside from the Plame leak, where a convenient scapegoat was hung out to dry) has been investigated, including whether the launching of a war thats killed tens of thousands was built on a pack of systematic lies (you'd think we'd start there, wouldn't you) or what citizens has the US been spying on without court approval, or have signing statements violated separation of powers, etc. -- Scott Reverse name to reply |

Sounds like the BS machine is trying to start up anew against Obama from the right, but I think they might find his people ready to deal with it better than Kerry did...... Tom It's much ado about nothing. Some freelancer street-level vol - not at an actual Obama HQ - at some sideshow office not actually connected with the campaign - had a Cuban flag with "the" Che pic on it over her desk. A newscrew was there. Of course they got a shot of it. She was a dumbass, but it is about as relevant to Obama (and newsworthy with real regard to Obama) as the fact that someone, somewhere in his campaign once got a speeding ticket. Anyone who makes more out of it is an idiot - IOW, if I listened to Mush Limpdick or Crazy Coulter, I'd expect to hear him babbling and her shrieking about it for about a week... TC, R |

wrote: So in Louie's world McCain is a traitor ? No. Because we know it was given under duress, probably after a torture session. Kerry *LIED*, *under oath* before Congress. He lied continuously during that period. To hell with the Swiftboat thingy. I am talking about behavior that gave comfort to our enemy. Regardless how you felt about that war, to pull a Jane Fonda only put more of our men in danger. Why can't you see that, Ken? Dave |

Funny, I just looked at it and it worked fine. The speaker says that the office will be full of paid workers within a week. One would hope they take down the Che poster, wot? Dave |

wrote: "Dave LaCourse" wrote in message .. . Tom, given the choice, most folks couldn't vote for Kerry. assuming 'most' to mean 51%, you are correct. Tom ....still, I don't think they were right to do so. A message should have been sent at that point in the Bush presidency. Bush received a larger percentage of the vote in 94 than Clinton ever did. He beat Kerry. He is the president. Live with it for a few more months. Then you can begin bitching about McCain. d;o) |
