#1 I put my 2 cents worth in on their web site. I'm sure this will bring a drove of reactions...

While you may be very happy with your candidate I have to tell you as an ex in country NAM Vet Mr Kerry's actions in 1971 dishonored his flag, country and uniform and all Vets who were still fighting the war while he was "testifying" with the phony Vets he brought along with him. I can not in conscience vote for this man. If you can then so be it. way.

#3 From the comments posted its obvious most of their fans want them to go with the tinfoil hat theories and Bush-hitler stuff. If they go in that direction, potential advertisers will be put off and they might even damage Kerry's campaign.
If they stay fixed on Bush-is-stupid jokes, everybody gets tired of it. If they go with substantive leftist stuff the tinfoil hat crowd will complain. Too bad.

#4 Listened to 'The Minority Report' for awhile today. Left my 2 cents at their blog, under the name Red Ruffansore. Those guys are a One Trick Pony and won't going to around long.

#5 Bill. Another post to the AirAmerica blogsite has question your assertion that Kerry had "fake Vets" with him when he testified. He (or she) wrote that you are obviously "factually deficient". Maybe you could post a comment backing up your assertion. It probably won't make any difference to someone with blinders on but you never know.

#7 It's a love-in. The comments are rather hysterical... to be told you're right must be incredibly sensual for these shut-ins! Hell most of the fun to be had in blogging is on the opposite side of it - when someone challenges you to rethink. Lol! Reminds me of: "Knock yourselves out! No really, knock yourselves out. I suggest a greasy ball-peen hammer... you already have the pointy head thingy covered..." routine, heh.

Mucky will make them crazy - they won't know whether he's a troll or a supporter - and I sense that they demand political purity beyond the norm! Hmmmm, the same question can be applied to his posts here, too - but the difference is we LOVE trolls! Lol!

#8 Bill, Love your comment about Kerry's 'phoney testamony' and the followup 'facts' :^). Keep up the good work.

Also loved the talk between 'muck' and 'halfempty' (sorry, I dont have your bong either...). LOL!

#9 Gee, I very genuinely wished them the best in exposing their agenda for America to hear. Clearly their message isn't getting out. :)

(That I still have friends who would allow themselves to be called Democrats in this day and age is proof that it may not be reaching everyone.)

#10 I think I was called a "fake vet"....grrrrrrrrrr
The truth really sucks I guess. There was no response to this post of mine as of yet.

"One comment I forgot to metnion is the picture on the front of the book that MR Kerry co-authored. It shows the American flag upside down in some mockery of Iwo Jima. I can't imagine anything more sickening and disrespecful. It dishonors all Veterans.

#16 I had to send this reply. They just beg for beatings

"Being a veteran myself and a member of the local American Legion in a conservative town in Indiana I can tell you every Veteran is upset over the slashed VA Budget"

Well according to one of your own American Legion National Commander Called President's 2004 Budget "Substantial Request And A Good Sign From The Administration." (The American Legion, Press Release, 2/4/03)

"President's FY2004 Budget Is The Largest Annual Increase For ... Veterans Affairs Ever Requested ..." ("The President's Budget Briefing Book, FY 2004," The White House, 2/3/03)

You sure maybe you didn't join the French Foreign Legion instead?

#18 Mucky's posts were the best...I got the feeling he was among friends and was even introducing *issues* they didn't know about like chicken abuse at KFC ("Blood bucket").
