LONG TO JOHN KERRY:

  AND YOU WANTED TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF?

Ft. Hamilton Station, NY – State Conservative Party Chairman, Michael R. Long, wanted to know how Senator John Kerry could have been an effective Commander-in-Chief when he believes that our all volunteer armed services are filed with young men and woman who are our least educated.

“Apparently some things never change. When John Kerry returned from Viet Nam he stood with those who undermined our troops then and today he undermines our brave determined young men and women who have volunteered their service,” said Long.

John Kerry was awarded medals under questionable circumstances, then stood with “Hanoi Jane” on American soil ~ where they were both safe ~ and spoke out against our elected officials while 55,000 of the finest members of our armed forces sacrificed their lives for Americans to have the right to speak out against our government. It is now thirty years later, and John Kerry is still demeaning those who have sacrificed everything so he can speak his mind.


“The very least Mr. Kerry can do is apologize and thank our armed forces for their service and let them know that he respects them. To claim it was a botched joke is typical of his disdain for our brave troops and his inability to accept responsibility for his actions,” concluded Long who served in the
Marine Corps.
