Did you know John Kerry's Purple Hearts are a complete joke?

He has disgraced the process to receive such medals which must be gone through by the truly brave, dedicated, patriots who get wounded.\n\nNow people may think everyone who has one (much less 3 in 3 months - lets be real) connived to get theirs as well.

Actually I do think most ppl are stupid. I mean just look at the questions here about Kerry's statement.\n\nI saw one that said something about '... Kerry's statement about military personnel...' I literally laughed at that.\n\nKerry didn't make a statement about military personnel. I doubt most even know what he said. He told the college students he was talking to that they needed to stay in school or they might end up stuck in Iraq.\n\nNow, I am ex-military just like Kerry and he didn't say anything that wasn't true. Just wait for the draft to come back and you will see how true that statement was.\n\nAlso, where is the outrage that the children of the rich, the educated, the Harvard grads, the politicians are NOT serving in Iraq?\n\nKerry stated the truth.

John Scary Kerry is a blithering idiot who has a silver spoon stuck up his rectum. He should be imprisoned for sheer stupidity and gross ugliness

Most Americans will see this "joke" for what it is... an expression of his lack of respect for the American military. If they have have any sense they will steer clear of candidates that will weaken and destroy America, which not always, but in most cases is the Democrat party.

No, i do not think that Kerry would have done better. People just wanted Kerry to be president because they hate Bush. What those morons don't realize is that Kerry won a purple heart without even doing a single piece of crap in war, and had commiteed many, and many War Crimes that he had admitted back in 1974 or so. He should have gone to prison but did not. And now he wanted to try to work for president?\n\nKerry is a fake, and i don't care how much people hate Bush or how much wrong Bush is doing, Kerry would not have done better or helped us what we are going through right now... which would be the War in Iraq, poverty, gas, and other oil type refferences. Their is a reason why 35 out of 50 states voted for Bush instead or Kerry. Kerry once said "I dont think i will run for president next time." And i sure as god hope he doesn't.\n\nI have been in the marine service for a couple year (Now 19 years old) and i know lots about what president would be better... sort of. I've never been to Iraq but i have gone overseas.\n\n(No one will believe me so don't even listen to what i just said about me being a marine)

I once saw a button that summed it up perfectly. It read, "Compassionate conservatism is an oxymoron. Bush is just a moron." Bush may talk about "compassionate conservatism", but as we all know, he doesn't practice what he preaches. I once read part of a book by Molly Ivins called "Shrub". Ivins mentions the case of a woman on death row in Texas named Karla Fay Tucker. Tucker wasn't retarded, but she had been sentenced to death for murdering someone, and while she was in prison, she had become a born-again Christian. And since she was a born-again Christian, she became a cause celebre among the likes of Pat Robertson and his fundamentalist cronies. She had made numerous attempts to persuade the Texas authorities to spare her life, and there are videos of her begging and pleading. When Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator, asked Bush about it in an interview, even he was taken aback by Bush's reaction. Bush actually MOCKED Karla Fay Tucker! I'm not saying that Karla Fay Tucker was necessarily any more deserving of compassion than any of the other death row inmates, but come on! This was a woman who was pleading for her life! Most normal people would have had a least A LITTLE sympathy for her! But then again, perhaps Bush isn't normal. And why should he be? After all, he's the son of George and Barbara Bush. Barbara Bush's remarks about the Hurricane Katrina victims proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dubya didn't grow up with any good models of compassion.

try reading ''unfit for command'' a nice little read exposing what a fraud kerry is and it is taken from actual stories from his fellow swift boat comrads during his tour... it paints a portrait of him having a  desire for getting medals under questionable circumstances, like getting a purple heart after tossing a grenade into a rice paddie and a piece of shrapnel put a small cut over his ankle... or rescuing a fellow comrad and saying his boat was involved in a hail of machine gunfire but since it was a freshly painted boat , they wondered why there wasnt any bullet marks at all on that boat.. once he touched american soil he ranted about the abuse his  fellow american soldiers were doing to the enemy and put all of the soldiers at risk... total sellout and a fraud.. oh by thr way george bush tried three times to fly combat in vietnam and was turned down because he didnt have the required flight hours... john kerry did not get shot several times in combat.. he served 4 months in a year tour but the media acts like he is a rambo with several tours of duty... he requested several times to leave vietnam early and he was granted his wish... dole, bush sr, reagan, all served duty in nam and bush jr did serve in the national guard..  good ole bill clinton is a draft dodger but the dems didnt want to talk about that when they ran against bob dole... when kerry ran against bush thats all they wanted to talk about and when he was called on his service duty he was exposed as a fraud and he was caught with his pants down and around his neck.. then they questioned the gall of anyone questioning his service in vietnam but didnt want to talk about it anymore and he didnt defend himself anymore except for the moron who ran around the country saying ''' john kerry saved my life'' like some broken record but he didnt reveal the details about his ''rescue'' and he went back in hiding and he is nowhere to be found...hmmmmm...

John Kerry is a monument to slick politicians. He managed to go to Vietnam for 3-months and collect three metals, two of which were for self inflicted wounds. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for truth? His own crew said he didn’t do what he claimed to have done. He then came home and threw his metals over a wall when it helped him politically.\n\nNow he is still disparaging our troops. How could the democrats believed this man was presidential material beats me. He would have made a great Commander and Chief of our armed forces—not!\n\nHe should resign his seat in the Senate.

Kerry was giving a campaign talk to students for the losing candidate in California, Phil Angelides, when he said that if you paid attention and got good grades you could be a success and, if you didn't, you'd get stuck in Iraq. Everyone took that as a backhanded swipe at the troops indicating that they're stupid.\n\nKerry tried to state that he was making a joke and he flubbed it and people took it the wrong way. So I guess that he figures that people are stupid too. Then he refused to apologise. Then he apologised because people took his joke the wrong way.\n\nPersonally, I think he said what he said and given that he's done nothing but trash mouth the military for years, he meant it just the way he said it.

I'm in the army right now, and I'll tell you this Army isn't the 'perfect' army.  He wasn't even close to calling Army soldiers 'uneducated' and 'lazy'.  He was more than likely refering to the equipment we fight with.  I think Kerrys statement was a mistake on his part, but I do think he holds us in very low regard.  And if it was supposed to be a joke about how Bush scored in college, he has no room to talk.  His scores were WORSE than Bush's!  What a hypocritical, pompous a**!\n\nFirst off, let me thank you for serving in 'Nam, because I think the way America treated our veterens after that war was absolutely horrendous.  However, I hate Kerry more for his comments about his FELLOW VETERENS, which I find inexcusable.  He lied about them blatantly, and he deserves to be branded a traitor.  And Vietnam was much different from the current war we are fighting, so you can't really compare the two.  A lot has changed since you were in, my wife and I are both military, and we have no problem with compensation for medical expenses.  Also, many soldiers volunteer to go to Iraq (myself among them) because the extra pay is VERY gratifying.  I understand that it's different for National Guard families, but they signed up and should have known what they were getting into (although recruiters do tend to lie :).  They aren't drafted, it's their choice.

That is a lie and we are mad because Kerry called our troops idiots and does not have the balls to admit it. Take that to the bank you frog whore.

AMEN TO THAT SISTER!! YOUR PREACHING TO THE CHOIR!! I was thinking the same thing this morning that he did it on purpose and tried to cover it up saying it was joke. Only an idiot would believe that. I guess he is still bitter that he lost the 2004 Presidential election. I also get tired of him talking about how he served in Vietnam war and blah blah blah and then he wants to critize people who have never served in war. Just because someone has never served in a war doesnt make them less of a person. If he thinks its so great to serve in war why doesnt he get his a** over there and go fight. Who made him an expert in war he certainly doesnt have any plan of getting out of Iraq none of those idiotic dems do.  Good for him if he served in Vietnam.

I think his remarks have made it very clear that he is unfit to lead he should resign his seat in the Senate.
