41. You're wrong...Kerry was the FIRST
Edited on Thu Aug-21-03 05:31 PM by blm
lawmaker to ADVOCATE for gays to serve openly in the military. He was behind it in the 80s, long before anyone took on gay issues. Dean didn't say squat until the Vermont Supreme Court weighed in (2000).

After Kerry investigated BCCI and exposed most of the malfeasance, the Dems kept him OFF the Senate committee because they considered him too hot.

If BCCI and IranContra went nowhere then how is it that Bush Sr. had to pardon 6 of them? Why Oliver North had to have his conviction overturned by a wingnut judge? And how is it that we know so much about the BFEE today if it wasn't for Kerry's work exposing it?

You haven't pointed to ONE half-truth, smear, or wishful thinking. In fact, if you think one thing you said in your post is accurate, then I pity your lack of facts.
