The Black Republican

Again today, John Qerry has told Tim Russert that he will sign the SF 180 which will allow his military records to be open for all to see, he first told Russert he would sign the form on April 18, 2004, we are still waiting for his pen to move over the form.

Russert found it necessary to badger Qerry into answering with a yes or no to the question, "would you sign the 180?". After repeated attempts he finally got a meek "yes, I will" from the Senator. Qerry then immediately went on the attack against those who served with him, and who now question his credibility, by insisting that they too should sign the SF 180 to release their records for examination by all. (Dude, I don't remember them using their service as evidence of their competence to be Commander In Chief, the issue is your resume!) In other words, Qerry is saying to the Swiftboat veterans, if you question my service, I will slime you! Which, as we well know, is the standard operating procedure for libs, they never stand on their own record, they always attack those who are not convinced by their bullshit version of the facts!

Hey Senator, I'm not convinced. And, I doubt that you will ever keep your promise to sign SF 180, because I believe the release of those documents would prove once and for all, that you are a lying piece of trash whose military career was a dishonor to the services! Can I lend you a bandaid Senator?

Taken from the transcript of the April 18th, 2004 edition of NBC's Meet The Press:

MR. RUSSERT: The Boston Globe reports that your commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Grant Hibberd has suggested that you perhaps didn't earn your first Purple Heart and question whether you should have left Vietnam after six months. In order to deal with those kinds of issues, when I asked President Bush about his service in the Texas Guard, he agreed to release all his military records, health records, everything. Would you agree to release all your military records? SEN. KERRY: I have. I've shown them--they're available to you to come and look at. I think that's a very unfair characterization by that person. I mean, politics is politics. The medical records show that I had shrapnel removed from my arm. We were in combat. We were in a very, very--probably one of the most frightening--if you ask anybody who was with me, the two guys who were with me, was probably the most frightening night that they had that they were in Vietnam and we're...

MR. RUSSERT: But you'll make all your records public.

SEN. KERRY: They are. People can come and see them at headquarters and take a look at them. I'm not going to--but I'll tell you this. I'm proud of my service....

Including Qerry on how he won the election, except for the total vote and the electoral college. And, why he did not spend all of the campaign's money. On Howard Dean. On abortion. On Scalia. The Iraqi elections. and so much more of his particular brand of humor.
