JOHN KERRY SWIFT BOAT ISSUES- 2004 CAMPAIGN
RETURN TO TOPICAL GUIDE AMER POLITICS
It was John Kerry himself that called attention to his own service in Vietnam, presenting his record as a fundamental qualification for the Presidency. The reaction by his wartime peers has been widespread and immediate, and not qualified by political affiliation. This page carries sites on which these men speak for themselves. JES 08/25/04

BONUS: TRACK RECORD FOR DEMOCRAT CONTENDERS SINCE 1960:
1960 John F. Kennedy (D) Wins Screws up Bay of Pigs.
Gets us started on Vietnam.
Faces down the Russians/Cuba (After Khrushchev pushes him around)
Gets taxes cut (Good for him)
1964 Lyndon B. Johnson (D) Wins Screws up Vietnam
Saddles taxpayers w/War on Poverty which after 3 billion dollars spent from then till now appears to have been a total
waste.
1968 Hubert H. Humphrey (D) Loses to Richard M. Nixon. Humphrey, an old school Democrat, was caught up in the backlash against the
war.
1972 Geo. S. McGovern (D) Loses Gets his head handed to him by Richard Nixon
1976 Jimmy Carter (D) Wins
Beats Gerald Ford, many believe, on the strength of Ford's pardon of Nixon for Watergate. Economy goes all to hell.
OPEC runs amok with oil prices. Botches everything to do with Iran.
1980 Jimmy Carter (D) Loses Gets his head handed to him by Reagan
1984 Walter F. Mondale (D) Loses Gets his head handed to him by Reagan
1988 Michael S. Dukakis (D) Loses Gets his head handed to him by Bush 41
1992 OJ Billyboy (D) Wins
Bush 41 forgets his pledge not to raise taxes, saddles the country with the lawyer friendly Disabilities Reform act & tries
to take the GOP back to the center. The Cold War is over, and who needs those old guys any more anyway? Who
needs a pretend Liberal when you can get the real thing?
1996 OJ Billyboy (D) Wins
GOP runs slow moving Bob Dole & the boomer gens hope OJ Billyboy will protect them from all those mean
Republicans they had just elected in 1994 after OJ Billyboy had raised their taxes in 1993 after promising not to and
Hillary scared everybody to death with her socialized medicine scheme. Besides, the working premise now was that
war was a thing of the past, and OJ Billyboy was a lot of fun. OJ Billyboy dallied in the Oval Office as al Qaeda
festered. Nero fiddled as Rome burned. If this all sounds loopy, its because it was. The whole decade was loopy.
2000 Al Gore (D) Loses
Close call, and the Supreme Court had to remind the Florida court that it had to follow Florida law, but after this, and a
major effort by Democrats to invalidate military votes, it all added up to a Bush 43 victory, eventually validated to the
satisfaction of even the New York Times. The Liberal elements of the Democrat party comes unglued with conspiracy
theories, and panics at the thought of a Nazi invasion.
The attacks of September 11, 2001 happen.
2004 John Franchurian Candidate Kerry (D) Loses
This is interesting because on almost every issue, at one time or anther, John Franchurian Candidate Kerry has taken
polar opposite positions, and several in between. So it can be said by most people that depending on the day of the
year, and the status of his menstrual cycles, sooner or later John Franchurian Kerry agrees with you on everything. I'm
not sure even OJ Billyboy ever reached this level of political creativity. Will this work on election day? It did not.
