QUOTABLES:

"... his background as a trade lawyer and his dovish, legalistic and political instincts made him, in retrospect, the tragically wrong man to be making national security decisions for America in wartime. That Senator Kerry had Mr. Berger as a campaign foreign policy adviser even before the archives scandal is enough to raise doubts about the senator’s judgment."  -- editorial in the NY Sun.

"I love her [Ronstadt's] music, but I hate her politics, and I hope she just sings," said Tina Uzelac of Livermore, who arrived wearing a flag sweater. "These tickets are pretty high-priced, and we're not paying to go to a political rally."

Can the mainstream media successfully hide the fact that the overwhelming majority of Kerry's "band of brothers" considers him unfit to command? – from the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth website.

BUSH BEAT

 

 Just POlitics

We believe this is a powerful message that needs to get out to the public.
The mainstream liberal media won't cover this story.

So, get your shirt  & stuff and let's ROLL!!

Berger’s Failures in 9/11 Report

An editorial in the New York Sun details the dismal national security legacy of the Clinton Administration as Sandy Berger misses four separate opportunities to get Bin Ladin... opportunities for all the world to read about in the 9/11 Commission’s Report.

Excerpt from editorial:

"... his background as a trade lawyer and his dovish, legalistic and political instincts made him, in retrospect,the tragically wrong man to be making national security decisions for America in wartime. That Senator Kerry had Mr. Berger as a campaign foreign policy adviser even before the archives scandal is enough to raise doubts about the senator’s judgment."   LINK

Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth
launch ‘new’ website

 "Senator John Kerry has made his 4-month combat tour in Vietnam the centerpiece of his bid for the Presidency. His campaign jets a handful of veterans around the country, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises. John Kerry wants us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his 'band of brothers.’

But most combat veterans who served with John Kerry in Vietnam see him in a very different light.”  [LINK]

John Kerry intends to highlight his 4-month combat tour in Vietnam at the Democratic Convention, and more than 250 of the Swift boat sailors who served with him are happy to help. Can the mainstream media successfully hide the fact that the overwhelming majority of Kerry's "band of brothers" considers him unfit to command?

From the website:

The Swift vets are also conducting a detailed review of John Kerry's Vietnam tour and should have some more interesting things to say in the near future. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has been formed to counter the false "war crimes" charges John Kerry repeatedly made against Vietnam veterans who served in our units and elsewhere, and to accurately portray Kerry's brief tour in Vietnam as a junior grade Lieutenant. We speak from personal experience -- our group includes men who served beside Kerry in combat as well as his commanders. Though we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we agree on one thing: John Kerry misrepresented his record and ours in Vietnam and therefore exhibits serious flaws in character and lacks the potential to lead.

We regret the need to do this. Most Swift boat veterans would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, Kerry's phony war crimes charges, his exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compels us to step forward.

For more than thirty years, most Vietnam veterans kept silent as we were maligned as misfits, addicts, and baby killers. Now that a key creator of that poisonous image is seeking the Presidency we have resolved to end our silence.

The time has come to set the record straight.

Ronstadt loses fans... again

Singer Linda Ronstadt is at it again, voicing more than song to concert-goers. And concert-goers are walking out.

At a recent Las Vegas appearance at the Aladdin hotel-casino, Ronstadt told the audience to go and see Michael Moore’s latest film, which bashes President Bush over the war in Iraq. The audience booed her off the stage and the hotel booted her out.

But apparently that’s not enough for Ronstadt. Thursday evening she repeated her political views during a concert in Wente Vineyards.

"She just had to do it," one fan steamed as he headed for the parking lot.

"I love her music, but I hate her politics, and I hope she just sings," said Tina Uzelac of Livermore, who arrived wearing a flag sweater. "These tickets are pretty high-priced, and we're not paying to go to a political rally."
