Bushims are widely considered to be Bushs' greatest contributions to literature and probably best sums up his terms as president, imo.

Maybe he gets it from his Dad....Can you tell the difference between the two?..............[url="http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/weekly/aa022201a.htm"]Take this quiz...[/url]

George W Bush Quotes
[quote]People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you.

I'd rather have them sacrificing on behalf of our nation than, you know, endless hours of testimony on congressional hill.

And so, in my State of the - my State of the Union - or state - my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation - I asked Americans to give 4,000 years - 4,000 hours over the next - the rest of your life - of service to America. That's what I asked - 4,000 hours.

There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like.

The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production.

I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose: you disarm, or we will.

First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country.

This administration is doing everything we can to end the stalemate in an efficient way. We're making the right decisions to bring the solution to an end.

Ann and I will carry out this equivocal message to the world: Markets must be open.

We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it.

I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.

I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure[/quote]

Bush is the Yogi Bera of politics(sorry Yogi), unfortunately he's also in one of highest positions of power in the world.

Smoov,nobody else will touch it so I'll take that big step forward. Stupid is as stupid says. I BELIEVE that what comes out of the mouth should go thru the brain-Scary isn't it?
Bushisms-I just love 'em.
I'm still perfect in voting-CAUSE I'VE NEVER VOTED for SOMEONE DUMBER than I am.
I just love(sarcasism) explanations about things like war-"War is Hard". If one is STUPID that means a lot to them and they are spellbound. I thought of a couple more that will have the faithful standing on their feet:"Rain is wet" and "Snow is white-right"?
A man that goes to a Presidential Debate with 30 minutes of material in a 90 minute debate and that's the guy I want to lead? When he uses "his mind" ,is himself -stupid statements follow. I know -It's Bill Clinton's fault.lol
Why are some of the Bush supporters not commenting-maybe it's that the truth is not always nice but it still remains the truth.
Remember that those are W's words and thoughts-it's not the media,Clinton or anyone else -W being what he is.

Yep he is being what he is. He not me the most articulate person in the world but we knew this before we re-elected him. I help reelect bush not because he was a better speacker but because he represent more of my ideals and morals then Mr. Botox john kerry. I elected bush because he doesnt fold under pressure. That is why i re-elected this president. Not because he was the most elequent kerry beat him hands down about that but because of his resolve and his spine. Of which kerry had none!

Really that's funny ,but I'll say your side is consistent. Kerry had no backbone but W did.What about Vietnam-the cheerleader protected(?) the Gulf of Mexico from the Viet Cong and Kerry was taking a pleasure cruise on the MeKong Delta.
And many on here have attacked Loyal who "SERVED" in Iraq,while they stay close to the McDonalds and fight the traffic.
We need volunteers in the services to fight in Iraq today. Big talkers but no takers?Yes and I agree with you- W is not intelligent.

:dreamy: :shucks: [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//17.gif[/img] :unsure: :rolleyes:

That was exactly what Carl Rove wanted you say, the brainwashing techinques he employed are extremely effective.

In reality Bush is a war-dodging, nepatism receiving, ignorant, arrogant, small-minded, dim-witted, liar from Crawford, Texas.

If you call invading Iraq not folding under pressure then you might have a point, but he was/is wrong for starting that war.

What does Botox have to do with any of this? Kerry had enough spine to do tour in Vietnam, while Bush was keeping the Southern skies safe from the Vietcong and he even skipped out on that. Kerry had enough spine to stand up for what he believe and testify before Congress.

It's funny to me how you to try to sweep his Bushisms under the rug by saying "he's not the most articulate person in the world", ya don't say. :rolleyes: Dude is just dumb, there too much proof to refute that fact.

And what exactly was it that you were doing to serve your country?

"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your county?"

Was it a Republican that said that?

At least Kerry went to Vietnam is the point that's being made here. Bush was drafted but somehow managed to get National Guard duty learning how to fly fighter jets, while poor people, white and black, were being sent to the front lines to die in a bullshit war. At least actually went to Vietnam, Bush didn't even leave the South. Not only that, he didn't take his physical because he knew he would get busted for having drugs in his system, something that pilots shouldn't have, and he skipped out on training sessions to run a political campgain or whatever. For someone to who never even went to Vietnam to question someone who did's courage and honestly is like Oldschooler trying to argue with Loyal about what Loyal saw while in the military, it's just stupid.

your stupidity amazes me. if kerry went in the jungle and wiped his a$$ it was more than w even came close to.

swiftboat vets what a joke-you can't add 2+ 2 ,can you? put yourself in a boat out on the Mekong Delta. Everybody got together before patrolling and said let's watch Kerry when we're attacked(a good plan)-don't worry about getting shot let's watch Kerry.And for damned sure -NOBODY had to worry about the present commander in chief during his time to serve getting shot. Tell us about W's medals(sounds like weed,PBR,coke were his enemies).
The 1 swiftboat commander said their boats were 10-15 yds away from Kerry-if shooting at them it makes for a easier target.I talked to a guy in the Navy and he said that should not be the procedure(10-15 yds apart). OK hero,pick 2 objects 30-40yds. away and 15 yds apart-aim and fire at both.Probably had to move the gun 6" to get both---ambushers would've taken that all day long.
These swifties were swift liars and you weren't smart enough to know it.

So that's how you got medals ,you issue to yourself-how long has that been the policy-gopher? You have different facts than I heard about vets actually on his boat.I think I heard of 1(and Kerry had reprimanded him so he had a bone to pick with Kerry).Men on the boat ,actually with Kerry didn't see it the way your hero did-said it was a lie. All the rest of your heros were NOT on Kerry's boat,they were being shot at and watching Kerry.
The main accusers admitted they were NOT on the boat,but 10-15 yds away.A dumbass like you would have been that close and watching someone else while being shot at or maybe a mortar could get 2 boats for 1-adorable cuddly wuddly teddy bear.
Change the facts to your liking ,but common sense says it was all BS,but you're a typical sheep in the herd.
Kerry had a chance for medals,w was drinking out of metal containers. There are papers where Superiors signed the papers giving Kerry the medals, DA. No one gives out their own medals unless you're the "wartime" president.Then you can land on a ship and claim"mission accomplished".
Go rub your knuckles in chit,Barney.

nope but the point is he filed them under false pretense but u keep scurting over that fact. NO wound shouldnt have any medal. My dad served in the war. He has a a purple heart. He also has the mutha fuckin scars to prove why he has the medal. So your going to tell me someone who wasnt injured deserves three of them????????? for something they didnt do??? he lied on the forms to get the medals thats the point i was trying to make man. Not bushes military record for the 800th time. So u telling me its alright to lie about something the reap the rewards is what your telling me?????????? its ok if i go to my boss tell them i broke my leg and i should get so much time off even though my leg might not be broken????? Also i am pretty sure thats all u needed to get a ride home was 3 purprle hearts.

Guest oldschooler

Bush may not be a master of the English language.
But Al Gore wasn`t exactly a genius...
Oh and didn`t Bush beat Al Gore 3 TIMES in a head
to head debate ?


Anyway...



[b]Gore held out for prime time media coverage in order to cast his vote in favor of the Gulf War. The media tells a different version too. [/b]
Before sending e-mail accusing me of trying to distort what Gore says, please notice my Not Gore Quotes page. AND WOULD PEOPLE PLEASE STOP PASSING AROUND THAT LIST OF MOSTLY QUAYLE QUOTES AND ATTRIBUTING THEM TO GORE?! (details on this are also on my Not Gore Quotes page). In fact, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran an article about these bogus quotes! (and I'm even quoted in it :) Thanks Mr. Roddy.) And hey! Now this SAME LIST is being passed around as G.W. Bush quotes! argh.


[b]Mammogram...sonogram...honey graham...[/b]
At an event in Las Vegas on Monday, 09/1800, Gore declared potential breast cancer victims faced "a long waiting line before they could get a biopsy or, uh, or a uh, another kind of, what am I looking for, a sonogram or...." People in the crowd shouted "mammogram."
(Source: Fox News 09/18/00; MSNBC 09/21/00 - The News with Brian Williams)
"Had that happened to Bush the news media would have used it to further the theme that the Texas Governor has a troubled relationship with the English language." - Brian Williams 09/21/00


[b]Equal...if not more so?[/b]
"When my sister and I were growing up," Mr. Gore told a small audience made up mostly of women, "there was never any doubt in our minds that men and women were equal, if not more so."
(Source: NY Times, 08/12/00)
Equal - if not more so? More so what? More "equal"? Who is more so? If two things are equal, what is the "more so" for?



[b]Gore didn't reverse John 3:16, but he DID reverse Matthew 6:21 [/b]
During the second debate, while discussing the environment, Gore said: "And I'm a grandfather now. I want to be able to tell my grandson, when I'm in my later years, that I didn't turn away from the evidence that showed that we were doing some serious harm. In my faith tradition, it is written in the book of Matthew, 'Where your heart is, there's your treasure also.' And I believe that we ought to recognize the value to our children and grandchildren of taking steps that preserve the environment in a way that's good for them."
Gore got the quote from Matthew 6:21 backwards. Matthew 6:21 states: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." This follows verses 19 and 20 which say: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal."
This quote has nothing to do with the environment; it has to do with devotion to salvation The Bible verses specifically refer to being careful where you store your treasures - it follows the the reason would have to be because heart follows treasures. So not only did he misquote and misuse the quote - it is obvious he didn't know the context of the verse.


[b]One thousand billion million trillion...[/b]
Oct. 25 2000 JACKSON, Tenn. (Reuters) — Criticizing Bush's Social Security privatization plan at a rally in Tennessee, Gore said, "He is proposing to privatize a big part of Social Security and he's proposing to take $1 trillion, a million billion dollars out of the Social Security trust fund and give it as a tax incentive to young workers."
A trillion is one thousand billion, not a million billion.
(Source: [url="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/wires/1025/p_rt_1025_41.sml)"]http://www.foxnews.com/politics/wires/1025/p_rt_1025_41.sml)[/url]



[b]Execute a pregnant woman? Uhh... I don't know[/b]
On July 16, 2000 during a "Meet the Press" interview, Gore was asked if he would be in favor of postponing the execution of a pregnant woman. His hesitant response was "I'd have to think about it".
Apparently not prepared for this curve ball of a question, Gore must have been so conscientious about upsetting his pro-choice constituency that he couldn't even give the answer that was obvious to every member of the House which in uncharacteristically unanimous fashion passed legislation shortly after this interview to prohibit such a practice.

RUSSERT: Right now there's legislation which says that a woman on death row, if she's pregnant, she should not be executed. Do you support that?
GORE: I don't what you're talking about.
RUSSERT: It's a federal statue on the books that if a woman is pregnant and she's on death row, she should not be executed.
GORE: Well, I don't know what the circumstances would be in that situation. I would--you know, it's an interesting fact situation. I'd want to think (OFF-MIKE).
The full transcript is available here.


[b]$29 dollars a week can buy a lot of Diet Cokes[/b]
In his 2000 convention acceptance speech, Gore said the Bush tax cut would save the average family 62 cents a week ("enough for a diet coke"). He later clarified it and said 62 cents a day per family... which is still wrong. Even at 62 cents a day, that's only a little over $226 a year. Under the Bush tax plan, the average family would save $1500 -- $4.20 a day, which is almost $29 dollars a week.


[b]Collecting cans for prescription drug benefits! [/b]
During the October 3, 2000 Presidential debate, Gore mentioned 79-year-old Winifred Skinner, who has become the campaign's mascot for his Medicare prescription-drug program. "In order to pay for her prescription drug benefits, she has to go out seven days a week, several hours a day, picking up cans ," Gore said. "She came all the way from Iowa in a Winnebago with her poodle in order to attend here tonight."
However, Skinner doesn't need to collect cans for her medication. Her son, Earl King, who formerly owned his own business and now lives on an 80-acre ranch and describes his lifestyle as "comfortable," has offered repeatedly to help her make ends meet. She continually declines his offers. In addition, the Winnebago Gore referred to, as well as the gas, was paid for by the Gore campaign. Five campaign workers accompanied Skinner, a longtime Democrat and former union organizer.
(Source: New York Post, October 5, 2000 "Gore's nose is growing again"; Washington Post, October 5, 2000, page A20)


[b]I was there with James Lee Witt...oh, wait.... [/b]
In the Presidential debate on October 3, 2000, Governor George W. Bush gave credit to the Federal Emergency Management Service (FEMA) for their work in Texas during fires and floods in Parker County. Vice President Al Gore said "I accompanied James Lee Witt down to Texas when those fires broke out." Carl Cameron, of Fox News first reported that Gore had not, in fact, been to Texas with Witt to look at the damage in Parker County. Gore WAS in Texas, but FEMA officials said Witt never went to Texas to deal with the 1998 fires.
To say that he was traveling with Witt implies strongly that Gore was traveling to a location in an official capacity. Gore was on his way to a fundraiser, and happened to run into FEMA people at the airport. The purpose of his trip was to attend a fundraiser, NOT to see the damage, as Gore implies. While Gore has accompanied Witt on other occasions, Gore didn't on this occasion, AND the purpose of this particular trip wasn't even connected with the disasters. Some claim Gore just "forgot" that Witt wasn't with him on this occasion... did Gore also forget the purpose of this particular trip?
"If James Lee was there before or after, then you know, I got that wrong then," Gore said on ABC's Good Morning America on October 4, 2000.
(Source: New York Post, October 5, 2000 "Gore's nose is growing again")


[b]I was part of those discussions! Really![/b]
At a Sept. 22 press conference, Gore stated "I've been a part of the discussions on the strategic reserve since the days when it was first established." However, President Ford established the Strategic Petroleum Reserves when he signed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) on December 22, 1975 — two years before Al Gore became a congressman
(Source: Washington Post, Sept. 24 2000)
(note: it was actually 13 months, not 2 years as the Post states)
Now, technically, 1975 was when it was declared U.S. policy to establish a reserve, but the reserve was not established (sites purchased or built, etc) until 1977, when Gore was in Congress. However, isn't this yet another case of "fuzzy wording"? Gore phrases the initial statement to give the impression that he was somehow responsible or "part of something" from the outset, but leaves wiggle room so that he can later justify the statement. And isn't saying he was part of "discussions on the strategic reserve" meant to leave the impression that he was was part of the planning process, prior to the sites being purchased, etc? Decide for yourself.


[b]A dog's health care costs less than my mother-in-law's! [/b]
Vice President Al Gore, reaching for a personal example to illustrate the breathtaking costs of some prescription drugs, told seniors in Florida that his mother-in-law pays nearly three times as much for the same arthritis medicine used for his ailing dog, Shiloh. "That's pretty bad when you have got to pretend to be a dog or a cat to get a price break" he stated. Gore's mother-in-law does pay more for her medication, but the generic brand of the drug, which 85% of Americans now use as a cheaper alternative, costs half as much, or one and a half times what it costs for the pooch - not three times. In addition, given the complexities of the marketplace, and the steps people take to get a better deal, it can work the other way around: Pets "pretending" to be humans. The Gore campaign also admitted that it lifted those costs not from his family's bills, but from a House Democratic study, and that Gore misused even those numbers: They represent the manufacturer's price to wholesalers, not the retail price of the brand-name product.
Drug costs often cost more for humans, though, because they are more heavily regulated. Jeff Trewhett, the spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association of America, said the higher costs for the human version of patented drugs is justified because the research, development, and approval costs can surpass $500 million per drug. But once the drug is approved for humans, the cost to test and approve it for animals is minimal, he said. Interestingly enough, Gore is proposing more regulations on on top of what we have now. Our food also costs 3 times as much as the dog's... will Gore say that we have to pretend to be dogs to get affordable food?

[b]Dairy Farm Expert in a Day [/b]
Milwaukee, WI - "I'm very familiar with the importance of dairy farming in Wisconsin. I've spent the night on a dairy farm here in Wisconsin. If I'm entrusted with the presidency, you'll have someone who is very familiar with what the Wisconsin dairy industry is all about."

[b]Let's play "Insult the Host" [/b]
Gore sometimes shows publicly that he lacks Clinton's finesse. Take a reception in Los Angeles last month. It was Gore's moment to shine before donors who ponied up $2.8 million. But he wound up egg-faced when he compared electing a Republican as president to rejecting an Oscar-winning team in favor of the producers of the Hollywood clunker ''Howard the Duck.'' One of the evening's hosts, Jeffrey Katzenberg, was a driving force behind ''Howard the Duck.'' The crowd tittered.

[b]Hey! It's Super Tuesday... oh wait... [/b]
Several Tennesseans tried to cast votes in the presidential primary, thinking that their state was part of Super Tuesday. They weren't alone. Vice President Al Gore seemed to think so, too. Knox County registrar Pat Crippens said, "I just got off the phone with a gentleman. I had to explain we're not Super Tuesday, we're just next Tuesday." His office got about 30 calls from confused voters. In 1988, Tennessee and 12 other Southern states decided to hold their presidential primaries on the second Tuesday of March, dubbing it "Super Tuesday" in hopes of gaining national political clout. Several Northern states also held their primaries that day. More than a dozen states have since moved their primaries to the first Tuesday of the month, creating a new "Super Tuesday." Tennessee - the vice president's home state - is among six that have stuck with March 14. As reporters and photographers watched from the lobby of his Nashville headquarters on Tuesday, Gore called a "Miss Ferris" and told her, "Today is the presidential primary in Tennessee ." His expression changed as he listened to her. "Well, you know, that is right. You are absolutely right," he said before hanging up and quickly dialing the next number on his voter call list.

[b]The Republicans controlled the Senate in '93? Do the Democrats know this?
From Meet the Press 12/19/99[/b]
MR. RUSSERT: Senator, what did you think of the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign's approach to fund-raising?
MR. BRADLEY: I thought that a lot of people in politics were embarrassed by it, quite frankly. I think Republicans and Democrats were disgraceful in that fund-raising program in 1996. Now, I think Al had the right point. It's the lessons that you learn. In 1990, I raised a lot of money for my Senate race. I raised too much money. I discovered that you can have too much money in a political campaign. I think that's what George Bush is going to discover. Now, in Al's case, the attorney general investigated it fully and determined that an independent counsel was not needed. And so - and the Republicans might make that an issue, but that's the reality. But I think the question is what you learn from this. And what I learned is that you've had seven years to actually do something on campaign-finance reform, and nothing has happened. I remember visiting the White House in 1993, Democratic Congress, both Senate and House, and urging the president to act on campaign-finance reform. Now, I don't know if you were in the loop or not, but the fact of the matter is that no action took place. And when we say what we...
VICE PRES. GORE: Because all the Republicans voted against it.
MR. BRADLEY: ...what we need to do...
VICE PRES. GORE: And they controlled the Senate.
MR. BRADLEY: ...what we - where was the effort made, Al, in 1993?
VICE PRES. GORE: We got every single Democratic senator to vote for it.


[b]Gore and the Internet [/b]
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet" Gore said when asked to cite accomplishments that separate him from another Democratic presidential hopeful, former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey, during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on March 9, 1999.
Gore supported technological advances related to the advancement of the Internet, but to say that HE took the initiative in creating the Internet is a bit much.
(Sources: Transcript [url="http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/18390.html"]http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/18390.html[/url] )
(Note: Lots of people seem to enjoy e-mailing me, professing that my information about Gore saying he "invented" the Internet is wrong, that he did support things which helped get the Internet moving, etc. First, I know he never said he "invented" the Internet. Please notice the quote above. Second, saying that he took the initiative in CREATING the Internet is still a funny statement since the Internet was already created and being used (ex: file copying via the UUCP protocol and e-mail) by the time he was elected to Congress. One can't take the "initiative" to "create" something which has already been created.)

[b]James who?[/b]
In his first appearance in a nationally televised candidates forum, Gore was asked to name a past US president from whom he drew personal inspiration. He replied that he especially admired another "dark horse" candidate, and a product of his home state, the great "president James Knox". The only problem is that the history books show that nobody named Knox ever occupied the White House. He most likely meant James Knox Polk.

[b]Manliness Thanks![/b]
In 1996, Al Gore visited a school in a largely Hispanic portion of Albuquerque, New Mexico. In an effort to fit in, he decided it would be appropriate to say something in Spanish as he took the stage. He was probably supposed to say "Muchisimas Gracias", which means "Very, very much thanks" or possibly "Muchas Gracias", which means "thank you very much." Instead, he walked on stage saying "Machismo Gracias" - roughly translated to "manliness thanks." There's a video clip of the press in Albuquerque giggling about it and saying, "Oh well, he's trying."

[b]Daily Town Hall Meetings[/b]
"I certainly learned a great deal from 3,000 town hall meetings across my home state of Tennessee over a 16-year period" in Congress, the vice president told NPR’s Bob Edwards.
Do the math. That’s 187 town hall meetings per year, or a meeting in Tennessee every other day for 16 years, including weekends, holidays, vacations, and time spent running for president in 1988 and for vice president in 1992.
Now, Gore never specifically claimed that he was actually at all of the Town Hall meetings, but it certainly sounds like he is trying to imply that he was there when he states that he learned a great deal from 3,000 meetings!

"Any government official who ... lies to the United States Congress will be fired immediately."

Gore must be talking about the standards he'd apply to a Republican White House! After all, he referred to Clinton as "one of our greatest presidents" at the White House Post-Impeachment Pep Rally on December 19, 1998.


[b]Gore Loves Courtney Love. [/b]
Finding himself talking to the controversial rock star Courtney Love at a Hollywood party, Mr. Gore attempted to charm her by telling her he was a fan. Rather than just accepting the easy compliment, Love cross-examined him.
"He goes 'I'm a really big fan'," said Love. "And I was like 'Yeah, right. Name a song, Al'." The answer came limply back: "I can't name a song, I'm just a really big fan."
Mr. Gore and his wife, Tipper, were the driving forces behind the campaign to make record companies put stickers on records that contained lyrics with sexually explicit content.

Pete Talek, a U.S. Steel employee speaking with Al Gore: "I am a few credits shy of earning a master's degree and could use federal funds to help defray tuition costs because he also is putting a daughter through community college. "I worked with a 14-inch pipe wrench for years and a coal shovel." Adding that he since has added a computer keyboard to the list of tools he can now use. "Gore smiled and admitted that he, too, has trouble turning on a computer - let alone using one."
(Source: "Gore Touts Job-Training Programs at Pittsburgh Factory" Associated Press September 4, 1998)
Which is it Al? Articles paint you as a techie nerdie type with early, and possibly fairly substantive knowledge of computers and networks, but you can't use a computer? You used Arpanet in the 70's but now have trouble turning on a computer?


[b]Where am I again?[/b]
Al Gore visited Minneapolis Minnesota on October 12, 1998 and raised several hundred thousand dollars for DFL gubernatorial nominee Hubert Humphrey III and two Democratic congressmen. Too bad he forgot which state he was in. Gore misspoke when he tried to summarize their commitment to education. "They will be the education team that Missouri needs to move into the 21st century," he said.

In the spring 1998 - Gore called The Washington Post's executive editor to tip him off on an ''error'' in the paper. ''I decided I just had to call because you've printed a picture of the Earth upside down on the front page of the paper,'' Gore said.
(Source: Florida Times Union 4/3/98 ) There is no ''up'' in space; only on maps that orient the Earth's surface north and south.

OK ace(or A$$)you got me convinced,BUT who on this thread talked about having a spine(Bush) and not having a spine(Kerry)-Go back to the top and look at the name of the poster. Surprise ,surprise,surprise. It's you bumblehead. In my mind it takes more spine to go to war than to lie as a politician ,talking about ALL politicians-not just your w).
Your whole argument is really about the quality of the paperwork done by the military in giving these medals. So do you want each case opened up again and have everybody who received medals checked?Or just Kerry? Who else lied-it's about the military record keeping and processes to give the medals-call them and get them straightened out. Show courage and get ALL checked out or is it that you're just after 1? And I understand that you don't want Bush's records talked about(800th time-who talked about spine 1st ,wizard?) cause not much to talk about.
And before you call names about stupidity check out your spelling and use of words(your or you are -are completely different words with different meanings). Your posts are full of these ignorant mistakes-so don't start the name-calling unless you want it back.
On the broken leg,you could try it-hell if he's dumb enough to hire you,he may fall for it.

I'll give my 1 of my favorites. Kind of got off topic when I was rudely interrupted.Meanwhile back at the ranch, In Italy W gave 1 of his best off the cuff speeches to a bewildered bunch of Italians. Roman Empire had scholars but none to compare to what they heard."I believe ,what I believe ,cause what I believe is right I believe".-I hope I got enough "I believes" in there.
Have heard comparisons of W to Lincoln. Lincoln had "The Gettysburg Address" and W gave his famous "Sphaghettisburg Address". Those lucky Italians got to hear a "classic". :unsure:

Kerry Purple Heart Doc Speaks Out
The medical description of his first wound.

By Byron York

Some critics of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry have questioned the circumstances surrounding the first of three Purple Hearts Kerry won in Vietnam. Those critics, among them some of Kerry's fellow veterans, have suggested that a wound suffered by Kerry in December 1968 may have made him technically eligible for a Purple Heart but was not severe enough to warrant serious consideration, even for a decoration that was handed out by the thousands. Whatever the case, Kerry was awarded the Purple Heart, and, along with two others he won later, it allowed him to request to leave Vietnam before his tour of duty was finished.

Kerry was treated for the wound at a medical facility in Cam Ranh Bay. The doctor who treated Kerry, Louis Letson, is today a retired general practitioner in Alabama. Letson says he remembers his brief encounter with Kerry 35 years ago because "some of his crewmen related that Lt. Kerry had told them that he would be the next JFK from Massachusetts." Letson says that last year, as the Democratic campaign began to heat up, he told friends that he remembered treating one of the candidates many years ago. In response to their questions, Letson says, he wrote down his recollections of the time. (Letson says he has had no contacts with anyone from the Bush campaign or the Republican party.) What follows is Letson's memory, as he wrote it.

I have a very clear memory of an incident which occurred while I was the Medical Officer at Naval Support Facility, Cam Ranh Bay.
John Kerry was a (jg), the OinC or skipper of a Swift boat, newly arrived in Vietnam. On the night of December 2, he was on patrol north of Cam Ranh, up near Nha Trang area. The next day he came to sick bay, the medical facility, for treatment of a wound that had occurred that night.

The story he told was different from what his crewmen had to say about that night. According to Kerry, they had been engaged in a fire fight, receiving small arms fire from on shore. He said that his injury resulted from this enemy action.

Some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore, but that Kerry had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore. The crewman thought that the injury was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks.

That seemed to fit the injury which I treated.

What I saw was a small piece of metal sticking very superficially in the skin of Kerry's arm. The metal fragment measured about 1 cm. in length and was about 2 or 3 mm in diameter. It certainly did not look like a round from a rifle.

I simply removed the piece of metal by lifting it out of the skin with forceps. I doubt that it penetrated more than 3 or 4 mm. It did not require probing to find it, did not require any anesthesia to remove it, and did not require any sutures to close the wound.

[b]The wound was covered with a bandaid. [/b] ( But kerry diserved a free ride home?????? think not)

Not [sic] other injuries were reported and I do not recall that there was any reported damage to the boat.

[b]Kerry, who piloted Patrol Crafts Fast (PCFs) as a young Lt.(jg) in the Vietnam War, has always made much of those Purple Hearts. An award often pinned on the pillow of a combat warrior so badly wounded that he cannot sit up to receive it, the Purple Heart recognizes the sacrifices of combat when a soldier or officer has sustained a wound "from an outside force or agent" and received treatment from a medical officer. The records for such treatment "must have been made a matter of official record," according to the military definition of the award. [/b]

Two of John Kerry's Purple Hearts were for self-inflicted wounds

Kerry bitched out... ohh i got a splinter.. I need a purple heart stat


Kerry would revisit ambush locations for re-enacting combat scenes where he would portray the hero.............left Vietnam early not because he received three Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to take home for his planned political campaigns."

On the defensive for filming himself during the Vietnam war, John Kerry once told a reporter he had "no intention" of using the footage for campaign purposes, but some of it will be featured tonight in a video of introduction before his Democratic presidential nomination acceptance speech

Yep someone i want in control of my country.. One who video taped staged fire fights for ad campaigns

Edit:
Sworn statements of those present say there was no hostile fire involved in this incident for which Kerry received his third Purple Heart and the coveted Bronze Star.

"The conclusion is inescapable: that Kerry lied by reporting to the Navy that he had been wounded by shrapnel in his backside from an enemy mine when in reality he negligently wounded himself and then lied about the wound in order to secure a third Purple Heart and a quick trip home," reads the letter.

The letter continues: "Kerry's operating report, Bronze Star story, and subsequent 'no man left behind' story are a total hoax on the Navy and the nation," they say.
