Well, there's at least one redeeming quality.

To go along with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts.
And all in a war he was opposed to. I find that somewhat redeeming.


Well, John McCain has the Navy Cross (I believe), but I wouldn't/didn't vote
for him.

Except ther is no silver star.

???

No, Kerry was awarded the Silver Star, and a Bronze Star with "V" device.

All that said does not equal credibility.

Hell, Hitler had the Iron Cross something or other equivalent to our
Distinguished Service Cross.

Big Whoop!!

Exactly. Without the connections Bush II would be a boozer mid-level
manager in some rinky-dink company in middle Texas.

Just another wild cat closer out of Midland.

Then again, where would Kerry be without catsup?

And where would Teddy Kennedy, or the rest of the clan, be without his
dad's
mafia connections?

Boot legging Alcohol has been good for the Kennedys and the Clintons.
(Blythes) Those four Counties Hillary carried were all old bootlegger
money.

Are you saying there's no such thing as a Silver Star, or that Kerry
never
got one? In both cases you'd be wrong.

Kerrey was put in for a silver star and awarded bronze.

Nope; he had both.

According to CNN (and numerous other sources), Kerry has been awarded
both
distinctions:
"It was in 1971 that Kerry, then 27, appeared before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to speak out against U.S. policy in Vietnam.

And that testimony is going to be a part of his downfall when it gets
thoroughly analyzed during the later campaign.

W has turned the Clinton economy disaster around.

Up to this one I was just going to say, oh well, we just disagree.

Even my Republican friends complain that Bush's economic policies are
disasterous. The Dem's used to be labeled "tax and spend". The
Republicans,
under Bush, are the "borrow and spend" party.

Reflation was an absolute necessity, otherwise America was headed into a
decade long downturn like Japan.

Except reflation has worked this time.

What fails is Socialism as Reflation. Under that condition you get a
permanent Depression; like FDR.

Your second article misses the point entirely. Japan was willing to lend
money, but unwilling to accept imports. That combination makes it nearly
impossible to pay back Yen. Dollars are easy to earn and pay back.

Not to mention his control over sugar rationing during WW2...and how some
"buddies" got favors that helped out a lot during the '60 election :~)

Worked? It's preventing the re-alignment that the economy desperately
needs.

No, you're missing the point. It's not imports/exports or any such that
stomped Japan and keep them in the economic sewer for a dozen years.
