Sure, they’re all liars but . . .
they keep scoring direct hits:
And questions keep coming. For example, Kerry received a Purple Heart for wounds suffered on December 2nd, 1968. But an entry in Kerry’s own journal written nine days later, he writes that, quote, he and his crew hadn’t been shot at yet, unquote. Kerry’s campaign has said it is possible his first Purple Heart was awarded for an unintentionally self-inflicted wound.
Kerry needs to start explaining some things.

He was the one that started running his mouth about his service in Vietnam…now he has to deal with it.

Funny, tg — people kept throwing shit at GWB’s National Guard record, and nothing stuck. Maybe if you keep throwing things at shit, they stick to the shit.

If it looks like shit…and smells like shit…it must be shit…

Phelps:
True enough, but there’s still a difference between Kerry’s Viet Nam service and GWB’s Guard service: the official mostly jives with Kerry’s version of events. At worst, Kerry got a date or two wrong, but that doesn’t change what happened, only when it happened.
Meanwhile, there’s virtually no record of Bush’s service, apart from pay stubs and a dental visit on a date when Bush had originally claimed to be somewhere else.
In the Kerry case, there’s plenty of evidence to back him up. In the GWB case, there’s not quite enough evidence to directly contradict him (but not enough to back him up, either). There’s your difference.
