Combat VN Vets for Kerry..Please listen and take heart.....
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 11:21 AM by vetwife
I work with veterans everyday. I deal with my husband everyday and I know you guys are steaming mad right now. I know you are hurting.
Please for your own heatlh sake..when the Swifties or Oneill the Liar comes on Tv, please change the channel. Turn him off. I know that he is bringing up emotions and this whole pundit debate is taking you to places you need not go. So are the ads. You have to deal with enough. Welcome Home first of all and continue remembering that there are many of us in your corner. Many of us fighting for the veteran. Many of us who honor your service. Many of us are not vet against vet and you need to take a deep breath and don't let these R-winged Bush chickenhawk paid liars get to you. Thye want you to react to a point you can't vote. You can't vote if you are in the hospital or so torn up that you don't feel like going to the polls.
Shut those lying Swifties and those rwingers out and concentrate on our man Kerry and try to rest and not go back to those days of horror anymore than you go already. This is their real motive..to make you sick and to make Kerry look bad and to turn vet against vet.
Block it ! Don't get your blood pressure up any higher and consider that these vile creatures have no shame. If you have never listened to me before, please listen now. Ther are too many of you on the edge thanks to this Nutcase and you are honorable veterans who have dserved your medals and I thank you. If need be, bookmark this thread and read it daily if you feel they are making you lose it !



Max and Vetwife..Max knows what you are feeling !



This is Don Rosenblum who works for VA Headquarters in Washington and sends me the info regarding environmental agents and Agent orange and how many cutbacks there are going down. He too is suffering under this administration, as he has Parkisons and I know which party he is for ..I made a trip to talk to him on Agent orange ..He writes the newsleters that are sent toa all VA healthcare systems. and he calls and gives me updates on how the Vets today are being treated. He was there under Clinton. He is not a happy camper these days !

3. Sorry Dear
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 11:21 AM by trumad
But ignoring it will allow them to grow stronger with help from the compliant press. It is are efforts that have made the press not so compliant hence their case is crumbling....

2. Kick
Important words.

They didn't take girls back then, so I never had to worry about going. Those of us who didn't ought to be taking care of you now instead of stirring up old memories. We will get the boy pretender out of office and someone in who wants to truly honor our veterans, not exploit them.

5. Hon..I didn't say ignore them..Don't let them make you sick !
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 11:24 AM by vetwife
They are smoke and screening this campaign and in the meantime they don't care if they hurt you. DON:T LET THEM ! Let us here, who are more able to fight through you..challenge them ! Not all disabilities are the same and some of the PTSD vets can't handle all of this.

6. I agree. They are all BFEE propagandists.
But more importantly, I want to thank you for advocacy for veteran's affairs. I have always been encouraged by your comments and am thankful for your unwavering stance on veteran's issues.

Navy vet 65 - 69.

7. DON'T LET BUSH STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION
Of course, change the channel. Don't waste electricity or risk your health with Bushshits...That's just common sense. But that won't get the truth out to the voters.

NOW IS THE TIME to go on the offensive and spread the truth about John Kerry. He is fighting back now (finally) but cannot do it alone.

Use this media link. http://congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/

Do not telephone. First priority is getting letters published in your own state newspapers. Second, contacting the major news services like CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.

You are welcome to use any/part of the following essay as you may wish.
_____________________________________________________________________


All Americans should be outraged at the media and pundits for their incessant pandering of the Swift Boat malarkey, now a Stink Boat of decomposing lies and innuendoes. Many venomous vets have flip flopped; most accusations are hearsay; Generals and more eyewitnesses are publicly supporting Kerry; one accuser is politically linked to the Bush Family; others like Thurlow and O’Neill have gone up in flames; and the official records support Kerry.

Although the incestuous relationship between the Ship of Fools and Bush is as yet unproven, we know that under the law that “silence means consent.” Therefore, Bush’s shameful refusals to condemn this nightmare of poisonous allegations is both active supporter and beneficiary. Smeargate has been Bush’s answer to Kerry’s plea for a positive campaign predicated on the issues. It should be condemned by all loyal and patriotic Americans irrespective of political affiliation.

For G.W. Bush, who has a military record of cowardice and desertion, hatching a rotten egg like Smeargate is like embracing a live grenade. But politically he has little choice since Bush is one of only two groups calculating to benefit from this Borgia Bandwagon: Those who need to coverup the Bush record of failures and broken promises and prevent discussion of the real issues like Iraq, jobs, health care, national security, etc. And those dreaming that defiling Kerry will somehow ease their own personal Vietnam demons.

Smeargate promotes a man who has consistently shafted and ignored veterans, inflicted a domestic policy of welfare for the upper 1%, and “High Noon” foreign policies of reckless irresponsibility that are killing Americans, decreasing our security, and bankrupting the nation. A “self-inflicted wound” has nothing to do with John Kerry, but characterizes the misinformed middle class citizen or seduced veteran supporting Bush.

8. Don't get mad, get even
Get in touch with your local Veterans for Kerry organization. Thanks to Bush's slimevets, real veterans are going to be huge force in this election. In my area we are already planning events that will definitely impact the election in John Kerry's favor.

11. I've joined the battle. I will try to maintain my health in the process.
However, I can't avoid this battle. I am writing Op/Ed pieces and LTTE's, but I am taking my B/P meds and monitoring all health aspects of what this kind of thing can do to the body and mind. I hope to strike a healthy balance, and I hope to strike these Swift-Liars my own little blow.

Having said that, let me say this: John O'Neill looks like this whole thing is killing him .. literally. He looks hypertensive and crapulent. He is pale and puffed-up. His only color seems to be from the tell-tale spider nevi of the cirrhotic. His eyes are chronically red and rheumy, and his fine tremor (3.5 - 4 on the Richter scale) may be a bit more than stage fright in that glaring public spotlight that he has brought upon himself. All of which begs the question: John O'Neill, why are you killing yourself for a worthless, vapid little man like George Bu$h?

13. Good Advice
That is good advice for those suffering from PTSD. It is also important to get involved in a positive way, speaking to fellow vets, volunteer for Veterans for Kerry, etc. Thanks for your care and concern for Veterans, we sure don't get any from the current pResident. Shame on Bush and the Repubs for what they are doing to the VA and veterans!

15. Absolutely...Get involved as Vets for Kerry, just tune out the liars !
Call upon all veterans to stand for the man who stood in combat. Knowing the vet community, they are surely not happy about vet vs vet. It is not a pretty sight.

16. Next week will be real rough for the country....
The last two weeks were pathetic "prove me wrong" type lies. And look how much traction that got.

This week will be nuclear because it will be based on an "out of context" lie. And that context will be the central nightmare of a generation - Viet Nam atrocities.

I'm guessing most boomers will tune it out. My heart goes out to the PTSS victims who can't.

Fuck Rove.

17. The chimp thinks if they bring Kerry down regarding his service
in Vietnam that it won't matter that he was AWOL. I hope that Kerry turns up the heat and gets to the bottom of Bush's service in the Guard.
