Well, as I predicted, more lies from Kerry are being exposed. Here’s a few from the many that have come up this week, that I put into my Palm Pilot:
Kerry’s been carefully crafting this image of someone who rushed out to serve in Vietnam. But the real story seems to be coming out at last. The press has picked up on an old Harvard Crimson article that contained information about how Kerry…
“…tried to defer his military service for a year, according to a newly rediscovered article in a Harvard University newspaper.
He wrote to his local recruitment board seeking permission to spend a further 12 months studying in Paris, after completing his degree course at Yale University in the mid-1960s.”
Which of course means that his whole ‘I served this country willingly’ shtick is brought into serious question. For months now, the left has charged Mr. Bush with lying to the American people. Now, we find out what they charge The President with, Kerry has done.
Further, it seems that Kerry was negotiating with the enemy in 1971. He told Congress during his testimony:
….I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government…”
Other news:
Kerry, it seems has missed on the order of 64% of the Senate roll Call votes. Says the Boston Herald:
“The Herald reported yesterday that Kerry, the Democratic front-runner, has missed every one of the 22 roll call votes in the Senate this year and 292, or 64 percent, last year.”
Now, Kerry and his supporters, like to tell us about how using an attack on our shores is inappropriate. But let’s look back into history, with some help from Jen, over at The Greatest Jeneration:
Says Jen:
“This is a photo of an actual lapel button for Roosevelt’s 1944 re-election campaign.
IN YOUR FACE to all those whining Leftist Libs who think it’s “offensive” and “inappropriate” for President Bush to include images from the 9/11 attacks in his re-election ads!”
So, not only is Bush not the first, but it seems that the bighest example of such is the liberal icon himself, FDR.
A picture, it seems, is worth 1000 words, after all.
Elsewhere, we’ve all seen the ad:
“Announcer: Times are tough. So you work overtime to make ends meet. Then you find out George Bush wants to eliminate overtime pay for 8 million workers. Two million jobs lost. Jobs going overseas. And now, no overtime pay. When it comes to choosing between corporate values and family values, face it, George Bush is not on our side.”
Trouble is, as usual the Democrats are basing their arguments on a flat-out lie.
Says FactCheck.org :
“The 8-million figure (hotly denied by the Bush administration, of course) comes from a study by the labor-funded Economic Policy Institute.
The ad misquotes the study, however. What the study actually says is that an estimated 8 million would lose the legal right to premium overtime rates should they work more than 40 hours per week. It does not say they would actually lose pay as the ad says. In fact, the 8-million figure is inflated by many part-time workers who never get overtime work, or overtime pay, even though they now have the right to it.”
Apparently with all of the problems surrounding Kerry, the people most likely to get Kerry’s call as his running mate aren’t too happy about their chances of winning. ABC’s story goes into detail.
“Three top Democrats, all talked about as possible running mates for presumptive presidential nominee John Kerry, on Sunday suggested a lack of interest in being vice president but none ruled it out.”
From North Korea comes news that:
“North Korea’s state-controlled media are well known for reverential reporting about Kim Jong-il, the country’s dictatorial leader. But the Dear Leader is not the only one getting deferential treatment from the communist state’s propaganda machine: John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic candidate, is also getting good play in Pyongyang.”
You can’t make up stuff like this.
I can’t imagine this won’t be something the Kerry campaign won’t try to downplay… If the Republicans are smart, (And they are) they won’t let that one pass unmarked.
Finally, a note from the Boston Herald, who reported a direct quote from the flip-flopable Mr. Kerry:
“The first definition of patriotism is keeping faith with those who have worn the uniform of the country,’ said Kerry, who argued in the Democrats’ weekly radio address that Bush has not given the troops sufficient logistical support.”
You oughta know, Idiot… You’re the one who voted against what they now don’t have.
And does ‘keeping faith’ include calling those who have worn the uniform ‘baby killers, as you did’?
And the Kerry saga continues….
