Vietnam Vets Against Kerry?
I got into it with a guy on the bus yesterday, he pulled out a 'Vietnam Vets Against Kerry' bumpersticker, to which I replied that I heard there was a group called "Republican Chickenhawks Against Bush." (I didn't really , but it sure pissed him off-lol).

but why not start an organization called "National Guardsmen Against Bush?"

If you wanted to be satirical, you could go with my original idea of "Republican ChickenHawks Against Bush," and send out weekly Press Reports, discussing how ironic it is that Republican chickenhawks, which would normally make up Bush's voter base, have deserted him. The RCAB could promote a plan to replace Bush with Cheney, and demote Bush to VP!

I think it would be quite fun. :)

12. I'm a Vietnam vet for Kerry and I have the DD214 to prove it.
My guess is a lot of chicken hawks are calling themselves Vietnam vets against Kerry. I wouldn't put it past a freeper to do that. They should have a web site were all of them have to post their DD214 or name the company and battalion they were in etc and years of service and were they were in Vietnam. I know that's too much to ask but I am not worried about a bunch of so called Vietnam vets against Kerry because I'm sure the majority of us will vote for him. We were against the war when we came home also. I don't know a single vet that was gung ho about the war after they returned but I'm sure there are some.

3. There are alot of Vietnam Vets
for Kerry as well. Including a couple who's lives he saved in Vietnam, while the Chimp was drinking and coking it up with his frat buddies when he was supposed to be on ANG duty... Don't really like Kerry either but he's got to be better than Bush

6. My dad's one.
My dad is a Vietnam vet, and is conservative. However, he can't stand Bush and will probably vote for Kerry this year (he even went to the Democratic caucuses...he voted for Clark there, however).

7. My husband is a Vietnam Vet and I will assure you that he is voting
for Kerry. He sees right through Bush's crap and he doesn't think to highly of a rich chickensh-t that never went to Vietnam and being AWOL while he was in the Texas National Guard AT THE TIME MY HUSBAND HAD HIS LIFE ON THE LINE IN VIETNAM. ELECT KERRY 2004!!!!

10. Why Not "Patriotic Americans Against Bush" or...
"Honorable National Guardsmen Against Chickenhawk Republicans"

How do you fight something like this, apart from ignoring it and hoping it goes away?

How about them?

THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSH

Ps. 140: 33 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders poison is under their lips.

That pretty much sums up the Bush Administration. An administration that is afraid to speak about the issues and instead spew poisonous lies to the American populace in order to effectuate a smoke screen to cover up their dismal deficiencies. Our country is in dire straits with this administration. Here are the true facts not fiction, lies, deceit or otherwise.

11. The Vietman Vets Against Kerry are nuts.
I would venture to say they are a small, mentally-deranged group who wouldn't make a blip on the radar compared to all the veterans who are supporting Kerry.

14. You don't need numbers, just coverage
If enough swing voters see those damn bumperstickers, it may put some doubt in their minds.
