(1) Kerry is a phony and he stands for absolutely nothing. Think "empty

He is proud of the medals he earned in Vietnam but he piddled all over 
his own service and that of his fellow veterans, many of whom were still 
serving at the time. He broad-brushed his fellow veterans with blanket 
war crimes accusations in such a manner as to encourage the enemies of 
the United States.

 From History News Network, Tim Russert's interview with John Kerry in 
1971 (http://hnn.us/articles/3552.html)
SEN. KERRY: There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say 
that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of 
other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free 
fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 
calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which 
were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy 
missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the 
laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and 
all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the 
government of the United States from the top down.

I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that 
several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150 
honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified 
to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but 
crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of 
officers at all levels of command.... They told the stories at times 
they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from 
portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off 
limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in 
fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, 
poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South 
Vietnam
"Hey, hey, Genghis K! How many villages did you burn today?" 
(Royalty-free leaflet, Genghis John Kerry)

Kerry threw his medals (or ribbons) over the White House fence to 
protest the Vietnam War but now it turns out that he threw another 
veteran's medals (or ribbons) over the White House fence to protest the 
Vietnam War.

Kerry has taken two diametrically-opposite stands on weapons of mass 
destruction in Iraq: whichever stand was most convenient for him at the 
time.
John Kerry's acceptance speech, July 29 2004. "I will be a commander in 
chief who will never mislead us into war," an apparent accusation that 
George Bush lied about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.
Senator John Kerry, 23 February 1998: "Saddam Hussein has already used 
these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue 
to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. 
That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat 
with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. 
It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East."
Well, Mr. Kerry, were you lying in 1998 or are you lying now?
