Could This Be?
I'm no D.C. political insider, I'm just someone who, like so many others, has been paying attention to what is being said, and trying to make some sense of it. There is one very disturbing but perfectly possible conclusion that can be drawn, and here is the case for it...
1) Kerry came back from Vietnam and used his 'tour' as a way to further his anti-war agenda. This happened during Nixon's Administration (a Republican).
2) Kerry voted for the cancellation of all those weapon systems DURING the cold war, this was during a time that the US was winning and would within only a few years actually knock the Soviet Union into the history books. This happened under Reagan (a Republican).
3) When the Democrats wanted to look like proud Americans they all voted for things like going to war with both Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as passing the PATRIOT Act. They all got to give speeches, hang out with Republicans and looked like 'we are all in this together'. This may have been under a Republican, but the term bi-partisan was used heavily and only the lunatic fringe leftists opposed the legislation.
4) Before and during the primaries, Kerry was still mostly for the war because the only people who were voicing opposition were people like Kucinich (getting only a fraction of the vote). Once Dean started talking about being anti-war, Kerry came out and mocked him too -- until Dean picked up steam, then Kerry was cautiously 'pro-war', and decided to go after safer topics like the economy and slamming his Democratic opponents.
5) Iraq starts to look like it won't be going as well as it might have and Kerry jumps in with the "wrong war, wrong time, etc" routine. Kerry mocks those nations who have been there with us calling them bribed.
6) Kerry decides to vote against funding the troops. This is the single most destructive thing because he constant says how more nations are needed in Iraq, but he himself is unwilling to fund those already there.
Like when Kerry came back from Vietnam, he is using the American soldier as a political tool to further his own desires. This has only been hinted about because the charges are so very grave. It would appear that Kerry has a history of using the lives and well-being of the American Soldier in order to push his career forward.
How else can you explain testifying to Congress that his fellow soldiers were war criminals? The 1960s just ended, but anti-war activism was still strong and it was what was getting the most attention at the time and since Kerry needed the spotlight he was there.
He was more than willing to sell out the troops while he was one of them, and he is more than willing to sell out the troops now.
He even says I voted yes before I voted no. This is idiocy because it shows that at one point it seemed right, but then after checking polls, he decided to do something else. Nothing is sacred, and this man has no honor.
He divorced his first wife after she had a nervous breakdown (a political liability not to have a smiling wife hanging around you), only to marry some other rich woman who seemed able to handle politics. Nothing is sacred - he lacks integrity.
Now Kerry expects us to think that he'll do what is needed for the troops today? For our security today? Kerry says he'll do what it takes to keep us safe. Kerry also says it needs to pass a global test. He backtracked on his statement, but like so much else, he would need to back track over 30 years of selling out in order to clear the record and this is something he has not done.
Kerry is willing to risk troop lives in order to smear Bush on Iraq. It is almost blackmail when he says that if he is elected he will get 40,000 more troops in the military (how would he fund them since he voted against funding our troops in combat today?), he will 'win' in six months (why not advertise how to do this in order get it done TODAY?), Kerry talking about getting nations to fight, but who will fight a war that is wrong, or that is a quagmire? Who will fight if they are going to be considered bribed or coerced?
"How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam – How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" he asked. According to Kerry there were over 50,000 mistakes in Vietnam. I think there were 50,000 heroes.
Kerry is willing to let people die under Bush in order to make the body count look bad enough to get himself elected. He has always used the dying American Soldier as a tool politically and this is disgusting. This is not only disgusting, it is a breech of faith to a degree that can not be adequately described and is not a quality worthy of any public office - especially not that of President.
