Hay Gang - THIS is why it's important to keep doing what we're doing:

This poster was one I replied to with my standard defense of Kerry after he submitted Skull and Bones as the reason Kerry conceded in Ohio.

After a couple exchanges he admitted he was young and didn't really know much about recent history (something we see in alot of the young who only activated over Iraq war).

A few of us directed him to some real history and he just posted this on kg's thread:

13. I have some questions about Kerry

Edited on Mon Aug-21-06 09:13 PM by nam78_two
I have recently been reading up on Iran Contra, BCCI etc.-I just knew the general outline before.

Kerry comes off as a real frickin' hero in all that I have been reading. Why did his campaign never talk about this stuff-this is baffling to me ?
I saw maybe one Salon article about all this stuff in the whole time.

The guy has a real backbone and what comes across is true integrity. How did they allow this man to be painted as a wishy-washy person with no principles??

How do these Repuke pigs get away with this time after time after time...tarring and feathering one highly respectable nominee after another....its baffling to me...

I always liked Kerry but his work on the Iran-Contra/BCCI stuff makes him a real hero. Too bad even so many lefties have a "meh" attitude towards him.

The more I learn about Kerry the more dejected I get about what might have been ...
Very frustrating looking at all the amazing people -Kerry, Gore etc. who might have been prez and then looking at what is the prez. .

Oh and good on him for the reporter stuff !

Kerry and his OFFICE need to see this.
