Reg,

The past couple years have been tiring to watch as the left has done nothing but heap bogus charges on President Bush while he’s taken on what the previous administration shirked.  The lack of WMD has been the biggest one of them all and continues to this day.  There’s never been any evidence to support the claim that President Bush lied about wmd but that hasn’t slowed you guys one bit from mentioning it every chance you get.  If anything, President Bush made the best decisions he could with the limited intelligence data he had thanks in part to Kerry’s votes to gut the intelligence departments.  Maybe the media should spend a bit more time talking about that if they’re really interested in understanding why the intelligence data failed us.  Na, it’s too easy to just say that Bush lied rather than ask Kerry why he cut intelligence spending.  Is it possible that had we not cut intelligence spending we would have been in a better position to make correct decisions leading up to the war?  Reg, you say you haven’t bought into the attacks on President Bush.  Really?  I’m confused because I think you’ve been front and center leading the charge about wmd.  Where’s the proof?  It’s time to put up or as Orielly says, ‘shut up.’

Howard Dean even went so far as to say that President Bush knew about 9/11 before it ever happened…didn’t he say that?  Maybe it was a bad dream I had but I thought he said that.  So here we have a leading democratic presidential candidate saying that the president knew of 9/11 beforehand.  Maybe I’m confused again but wasn’t that a smear and I don’t recall Kerry distancing himself from that line of bullshit, do you?

Moveon.org did there thing with the Bush/Hitler comparisons and I don’t recall Kerry coming out and saying it should stop and that it was wrong.  Did I miss that too?

The left is upset because their guy is being attacked by a small, aging group of men who intend to set the record straight.  You say we should prosecute these guys…what’s to prosecute?  These are honorable veterans who also served our country or have you forgotten that?  Shall we censor them too because you don’t like what they’re saying about your guy?  I thought liberals were all for free speech?  I understand now…only when it suits you.  I don’t recall anyone on the right talking about censoring or prosecuting Michael Moore for his movie with its wrong conclusions and assumptions about President Bush.  Certainly President Bush didn’t call for any sort of censoring or prosecution as Kerry is attempting to do with the SBV.  Do you think Moore should also be prosecuted?   If not, why not?  Speaking of Michael Moore…why hasn’t Kerry distanced himself from Fear n Hate 911?  Not only did he not distance himself from the guy, he had him seated next to Jimmy Carter at the dems convention.  You do realize that was Kerry’s choice to embrace Moore in that way, don’t you?  You guys amaze me.

I’ve gathered that you’re very upset by the idea that Bush may be behind the SBV.  So what.  Even if he is, is it really any worse than Kerry being in bed with moveon.org, Michael Moore and whatever other left leaning, Bush bashing organization is out there to do Kerry’s dirty work for him.  I haven’t seen you complain about the unfair treatment President Bush is getting.  I thought you were all about being fair.  I guess I was wrong.

It’s convenient that you went on record early on about President Bush’s military record saying that none of it should be held against him today.  I’ve got a hunch that you knew sooner or later Kerry would likely be made to account for the liberties he’s taken with his war days and you wanted to be able to say that it wasn’t right to dredge that up.  Am I right?  President Bush never ran on his military record.  Kerry, on the other hand has and that is why we’re talking about it today. 

You paint a glowing analysis of Kerry’s actions from his early days to now.  Why doesn’t Kerry release all of his military records so he can clear the air on much of the speculation the SBV have raised?  I hate to be the one to burst your bubble of the man but it’s becoming more and more apparent that he’s not the war hero you’ve been looking up to all these years.  Look up to him for his time in the senate if you like but anything other than that and you’re taking part in one man’s fantasy. 

I’m not calling the Navy liars by saying that their documentation of Kerry’s records is wrong.  It doesn’t take much imagination, or to use your phrase, even a person with half a brain knows that it was very possible for Kerry to overstate his actions and the situations which led to his Purple Hearts and Silver Star.  Of the hundreds of thousands of men who went over there, how many do you suppose left after only 4 months with 3 Purple Hearts and a Silver Star?

If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Kerry immediately run for congress upon returning from Vietnam?  So, if that’s the case then why is it so hard to believe that much of what he said and did all those years ago was for political purposes?  What better platform to launch yourself from if you’re a liberal than one where you can say you’ve been to the other side and you’ve seen the enemy and he is us and now you’re back to run against what it was you have first hand knowledge of.  I mean, that’s pretty much what he did, right?  Why is it so hard for you to get your head around the idea that what he did was choreographed?

Sure, he volunteered to spend time on a swift boat but he got the hell out as quick as he could.  I do have a certain amount of respect for him going over there but it diminishes quickly when you begin to realize that his motives were less about serving his country and more about serving himself.  Doesn’t all that video of him over there cause you to do that little thing with your head where you tilt it to the side as you bring your hand up to stoke your chin as you ponder what Kerry’s motives were?  Is there a chance Kerry has been truthful all along?  I suppose there’s always that chance but I very much doubt it.
