Kerry did it again

[spindoctor]

Every time I think the man is on to something, he manages to throw me off within a week's time.

I was watching one of his New Hampshire house parties last night, and Mr. Kerry shows up wearing a bomber jacket, with patches and everything.
Whatever Kerry Campaign member came up with that idea should be fired on the spot.

A pilot jacket....that's just sooo...George Bush.

[Renew Deal]

1. Was he pilot?

I thought he was a navy grunt?

[quinnox]

2. Oh, that's a good way to decide on a

candidate, whether they wear a bomber jacket or not.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

3. maybe he rode the Harley in?

BTW you are defnitely only an intern spinster if that's the best you can do.

[trumad]

4. So what

The guy earned his right to wear anything resembling Military... For you to say it's "So George Bush" is a cheap shot... Dubya's a little yellow awol coward...Kerry's a decorated war vet!

[Forkboy]

He's pandering

His service speaks for itself without him always trying to remind people 20 times a speech.He wears the jacket to promote an image.That's pandering.

And the sad part is he doesn't need to.

[LuminousX]

9. Pandering?

I actually would like to see a picture and details about the event before making that declaration. I sincerely doubt he was 'pandering' in New Hampshire. If he was at an Air Force base, then yeah, maybe that charge could stick slightly, but even then, all it would take is someone to show where he has worn that jacket once before and it would be wiped away.

This is such a non-issue.

[Forkboy]

14. Oh I agree that it's not really a big deal

I hope no one would base a decision on this kind of thing.

[spindoctor]

17. Thank you for getting my point.

6. Agree

More important fish to fry

11. yes, there are a lot of people here now that came from other

boards and have no Democratic interests at all....

just look at the shameless attacks on the returning DC anti-war protesters....some of those attackers, though, had high post counts...they all got on this board after the January 18,2003 anti-war protests, and have racked up high counts....they manipulate, twist and turn the board toward 'cheap labor conservative' and reTHUGlican values...it's subtle....a little poll here, a little allegation there, a little rumor here, a little lie there....it's the bush* kkkarl rove approach....

[blm]

15. I agree with you there, amen.

Noticed the same right before spring.

[Forkboy]

19. Lots us of notice this

By going out of the way to be so fair (something admirable) the admin has actually just succeeded in making it easier for them to survive here.

[LuminousX]

7. Many of my friends (non-military) wear bomber jackets

Patches and all.

Style of dress shouldn't dictate anything. If he showed up at an airforce base trying to look like a veteran pilot, then you'd have something because that would imply he was trying to mislead people.

There is no attempt to mislead people in this case.

[killbotfactory]

8. I heard he was in nam. true?

If so, he's very nonchalant about his military record.

[mitchum]

25. Hell No! We Won't Go! Let's Hit THe Snow!...

get used to it (because you will hear it alot if your demented masturbatory dreams come true)

[mmonk]

10. Maybe a toy figurine is next

like the one of GW in a flight suit. Kerry in a B1 Bomber?

[Padraig18]

12. Ehh...

It doesn't grab me as an issue. :shrug:

[drfemoe]

20. Ya ..

I wonder more about why he isn't doing anything for our causes now, while he's in the office he has now ... all his promises are for the future while he just allows the repug agenda to move ever forward...

[Padraig18]

28. Aye.

Even though he says that "No is not a policy", I'd like him better if he'd use the word a bit more often and quit enabling * and his evil minions so much...

[Monte Carlo]

29. Well he's not Superman.

A Senator has only limited control over a President. And Mr. Kerry hasn't exactly been doing nothing.

[mmonk]

13. At least he is a vet

unlike Dubya.

[w13rd0]

16. There are a number of things I might be tempted to criticize Kerry for...

...this isn't one of them. By my count, there's at least one other actual military vet, and one pretend one, using their military background (or made up background in the case of Dubya) as part of their resume. And if one were applying for a job, they'd include their military service on their application. Non-issue.

[mmonk]

18. Any real vet

makes Dubya look bad when he tries to project himself the only "true" patriot.

[Cocoa]

21. he looks French too!

:eyes:

[JohnKleeb]

23. So thats what the French look like

:D like John Kerry
lol
Isnt that the most trival thing lol Kerry looks French, people wont vote for someone who looks French lol sure Rush sure.

22. His Lucky Jacket

He has had it since Vietnam. Same jacket is in this picture, with patches collected along the way.

http://www.bongonews.com/layout1.php?event=550

and yes, he is a pilot.

[polpilot]

24. It was Kerry's call to play 'dress-up' regardless of who made the

suggestion. It's just indicative of a rudderless campaign where no one is in charge. I swear this campaign is so amateurish even for someone running for the high school student council.

Dean '04...The Bombadier!!!!!!!!

[Parche]

26. ??

What is wrong with that?

[Monte Carlo]

27. What's the matter with his bomber jacket?

If that's what it takes to throw you... you need to not be thrown so easily.

[polpilot]

31. Just more silliness..shoot birds...I'm a Bomber Man!!! Insulting to all.

Dean '04...

[blm]

32. Dean never wore a bomber jacket?

Are you sure that you want to go on record that Dean and his supporters are against bomber jackets?

[ModerateMiddle]

30. According to just about everyone

that's his favorite jacket.
