Arizona congressman doesn't find anti-Kerry ads inappropriate
The Associated Press


U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., said he doesn't find ads accusing Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry of lying about his military service inappropriate.

"If Senator Kerry can trot out his people on stage that he served with to use as an endorsement of his military service, then it's not inappropriate for others who also served with him I to question whether his service is all it's made up to be," Kolbe said Friday. ,,

..Kolbe, who has not yet seen the ad, said the anti-Kerry group is questioning what Kerry did afterward when Kerry assumed a high- profile role as an opponent of the Vietnam War after returning to the United States.

"A lot of people took umbrage to that," Kolbe said. "And I remember my own feeling at that time, feeling a little bit of outrage, a little bit of hurt, and feeling tarnished by someone I served with who basically took a broad brush and said, `We're all war criminals."'

1. Maybe somebody should trot out some gay bashing ads against Kolbe
And see how he likes it.

3. I have one!
warning: this is VERY crude.

Don't say I didn't warn you..

"Back in the 1980's, I was cruising the bathroom at UoA, looking for.. umm.. some 'oral enjoyment.' There was a hole in the center stall of the men's room on the 3rd floor, so I decided to check it out. Upon exiting the stall when I was done, I saw Jim Kolbe rinsing his mouth out at the sink. I'd gotten my release, sure, but he'd done me no great service - I had teeth marks all over me. Jim Kolbe may say he's a good gay Republican, but his record doesn't match his words: he can't give a good b.j. to save his own life. I don't want to smear him - I just want to educate the voting public on his real record. We cannot afford having him in the House. Especially in the House bathroom."

You get the idea. That's basically what they're trying to do to John Kerry. Lie to smear. That's all it boils-down to.

4. I'll just bet he doesn't..I've had the displeasure
of seeing him on tv in years past and he is inappropriate himself.

So, imv, kolbe is a stooge. And he's a big, fat, liar, too. The veterans that are smearing Kerry did NOT serve with him.

Someone needs to set that asshole straight!!

he talks like a very Jealous man. Kerry is going to be that asshole's Commander and Chief!

So, he hasn't seen the ad, and he's wrong about what's in the ad.

There seems to be a problem here.

10. Typical problem, they never read Clinton's book - but can tell
you everything wrong with it. They've never seen F911, but will tell you what a pack of lies it is. They just listen and repeat - never to muddy up the waters with facts, they don't need 1st hand experience, Rush and InSanity have already told them what they should think.

7. We should all write this asshole a letter.
"These people aren't questioning squat. They're telling a pack of lies, and last I heard, libel was against the law."

9. What a choice....both Reps. Kolbe or Graf
Graf is running on "God, Guns, and Gays" Kolbe is running on ?????

This is going to be a dirty, nasty race between two Pubs and the Dems have not even placed anyone to run against them.
