John Kerry a poor pick.

 THE MAN WHO Testified against his country in 1971. While boots were still on the ground.


Now we come to a time when Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to leave the post of Sec.Of State. Who is first on the short list to secure the nomination but none other than the Senator of Assachusettes, John Kerry. He speaks French which should give you an idea of where his head is and has been. Yes, he learned French by spending most of his time and youth in France. Under the care of his grandfather who was, you guessed it French. Being sent there and under the sponsorship of a rich aunt Who was asked by his mother to do so. As a result he spent his formative years and those of a young teenage man in the private schools of the European elite. "The eating at another mans table", will become a way of life for the young impressionable youth. Subsequently wedding and then divorcing a string of wealthy women. The last being a foreign wife of Sen. Heinz, of the Heinz fortune. Who he remains married to.

Ah, the perfect pick of a President that sees the failed system of European style socialism as his template for transforming America. On returning to America he went on to attend Yale. Graduating with less than what could be called stellar achievements. The Viet Nam War was in full swing and he joined the Navy knowing full well as did Al Gore, that it would be good for his future political career. Wishing to see himself as another John Kennedy. He got himself assigned to the swift boats. Small speedy craft that patrolled the many waterways of the Mekong Delta of South Viet Nam. Much like the PT boats of WW2 and that commanded by John Kennedy. The famous craft of story and song PT 109.  At the time the assignment was considered a safe bet.  In Viet Nam he then claimed to have suffered wounds that would cause him to be awarded the Purple Heart and get him back to the states. His tour of duty being only 6 months while that of everyone else was 1 year. Claims as to his valor were disputed by fellow shipmates as were many of Kerry's claims of injuries suffered in combat. One of which was being in Cambodia while on secret missions have been proven false. Despite the fact that the mainstream press has tried to minimize the, Swift boaters claims that Kerry's claims of valor and wounds are false and the questions still remain. Partly because all of his medical records have still not been opened. Also because of the many exaggerations he presented.

In addition his meeting with Viet Cong and North Viet Nam negotiators in Paris while boots were still on the ground in Viet Nam. Was not in keeping with acceptable behavior of a former military officer in time of war. As it is against the law. Something even Kerry admitted.  His testimony in front of congress exposing and making public supposed acts of war crimes by U.S. soldiers and sailors is another strike against him. He never apologized for those comments.  The claim of, " I voted for it, before I voted against it". Shows vividly his willingness to go along to get along. If it is in the best interests of John Kerry. It punctuates the nick name they used for him in Mass. as the carpet bagger. Going from town to town following opportunities to run for any office. No matter what it was. Or, if it was in his home district or not.

To top everything off Kerry is a man who stood at the fence in front of the White House and threw his medals over the fence. Insulting those who had won those same medals with legitimate efforts and without doubt deserved them. Then later saying they were his friends medals when running for President. His whole career has been a one of doubt as to his character and allegiance. Making him suspect as to whose side he will negotiate for. Theirs or ours when it gets down to the nitty gritty. Perfect for a President that continues to show that he is also suspect as to whose side he is on.
