i always love it when mr. ketchup gets up and talks.  he has such a way of insulting the american public and reminding us just exactly what the democrats are all about.  he is secretly on our side, the republicans!   like i said before, go john, go john, go john, say it with me now....go john!

Yes. But Karl has not gotten thing quite correct lately.  I wonder if the Democrats taking over congress was his "suprise"?

As a paralyzed Vietnam Vet I will never forget John Kerry's traitorous remarks made years ago calling myself and my Brothers-in Arms all manner of names from "Baby-Killers" to "cowards" upon our return and now, our brave brothers and sisters are "stupid"?\n\nI want to state that, 'Mr. John Kerry is not only a man of questionable honor but he should apologize for making statements that not only insult every brave young man and woman Serving but give yet again, "Aid and Comfort to the enemy.\n\nWe will now do everything humanly possible to mobilize the Conservative Base not necessarily to Vote to support current policy and Incumbents but to vote "against the Democrats" and the Nancy Pelosi San Francisco Values that party holds to!\n\nThis was the best thing he could have done to energize our base!\n\nNow, how will the Far Left Wong ACLU Adoring Liberal Dems explain away this one...watch for the standard "disclaimers" mostly used for Dr Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi "Foot-In-Mouth attacks...i.e.:\n\n"He was mis-quoted" or maybe, "His statement was taken out of context" or maybe he meant it?

Yes . I haven't seen one today .Come to think of it -I have n't seen one in a long time . That traitor goes around using soldiers to further his career with slander and has gone so far as to take Michael Moore and personally attend dead soldiers wakes & funerals to use grieving parents for his own political reasons  during the last election .As of last month he is being sued by former POW's that he served with in Vietnam- and incidentally-Kerry is the only Swift Boat veteran to ever serve only 4 months in Vietnam . He gave himself a self-inflicted wound -for which he was given a band-aid-then had the nerve to apply for a meadl; took a leave to attend secret meetings with the enemy . What a creep .

John Kerry will apologize, and he won't apologize.  He really messed up the Democrats.  "YEAH!"  Just be thankful that he isn't our president!  WOW that would be scary.\n\nWe would be fighting a war in the United States.

Several of the gains made by Democrats were by conservative democrats. Joe Lieberman, a registered and caucased Dem, ran against his own party's nominee as an independant... and WON! Joe is a conservative Dem that supports the cause of fighting terror. So if the war in Iraq is the cause for the shift in power, why were conservatives elected? While a majority of Americans feel things are going wrong in Iraq, they still understand the reason we are there. We are NOT supporting the Dem's idea of passing the baton of victory to the terrorists, but instead, want to be open-minded that we need a new strategy that will better ensure victory.\n\nAnother gleeming hope for Republicans is the fact that referendums this election tend to favor conservatism. Several states banned same sex marriage. One state banned abortion. Basically, while there was a cry for change in power, a majority of Americans still cling to conservative views. \n\nWatch for Joe Lieberman to rally other Conservative Dems in the Senate. Should the VA seat fold to a Dem, the control they hoped for is still not locked. Joe and a handfull of Conservative Dems will still swing a good deal of power to the President on issues of the war on terrorism.

From what I was hearing on talk radio (right wing) last night, Kerry's mouth was the October surprise and will keep the republicans in their congressional seats.\nBasically he was campaigning for the Republicans with that stupid remark............................\nPart of that comment included something about studying and "getting smart".  Huh!!!!!!!?????????????\nYou do not GET SMART...you either............ARE SMART or you are not smart.\nEducation makes you educated........not SMART.\nHow did he ever get in the senate????

I Think John Kerry was actually and all his Democratic friends evolved into monkeys.GW is the missing link that America needed to stand up for itself after over 200 years of axis tyranny and attacks.

The 'STATE OF CONFUSION' experienced by nearly all DEMOCRATS.

I honestly keep pinching myself to make sure that it is all true. I now fully expect the Democrats to carry on in the vein they have started. \n\nThe contempt with which they describe the administration's policy in Iraq is to be seen to be believed. I expect investigations into all the ambiquous actions of the administration and I expect some of these security, sorry, freedom restricting legislation to be repealed.

DEMOCRATS by a landslide

Very good point.  Funny how nothing is really said about the democrats that did that.

Yes, I heard it and "Big Surprise".  The terrorists made no effort to hide the fact they were rooting for a democrat victory.  Anything to embarrass the "Devil" George Bush.  I think the U.S. needs to use more intelligence from Iraqi's and use air strikes to take out these morons.  I'm a Republican and I'm for a gradual reduction in troops.  I think we could be out except for a small force within 3-4 years.

The Democrats are quick to criticize - but have nothing to offer in their defense.  They complain and criticize - but don't provide an alternative answer as to what they think will make things right,  John Kerry introduce an initiative to get our troops out of Iraq by the end of this year - Only 13 people - including Kerry voted for this measure.  As the saying goes, they need to think out of the box and come up with a reasonable solution - otherwise they can forget about retaking congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008.

I'm not conservative, but kerry has been trained on what to say and how to say it.. I don't think it was a mistake, I think he's trying to throw the elections for the democrats... there must be big money in it to be a skull and bones buddy with bush.

I'm angry, but honestly not that surprised. It's about what I would expect from Kerry- not only that he has such little respect for the men and women fighting in Iraq, but that he would use them as the butt of a joke to score points with an audience. \n\nI'm especially outraged because of the foolishness of his "joke." I took several semesters off to serve in Iraq, and graduated with honors when I returned. I've worked hard all my life. And many of the ENLISTED men I served with were more intelligent, better educated, and harder working than I was.\n\nWhat DOES surprise me are the number of liberals, especially liberal "veterans", who seem to want to rationalize of justify Kerry's "joke." Are they really so partisan that they can't rightfully condemn Kerry, just because he is a major figure in the Democratic party?\n\nHow shameful.
