should Kerry be ask by his party to resign his post ?

Yes ; the Democrat Party is not being represented adequately . Most democrats do not loath our military . I can see that the left wing radicals are slowly trying to bring the democrats to communism ; and perhaps all of America .  If you look at who their heroes are ( and it's not America or our Military ) , you will find many communist ties . John Kerry , for one is honored in the War Museum in Ho Chi Minh, as a hero who helped them win the Viet Nam War AGAINST AMERICA . Kerry is a poor representative of anything American . I heard a little boy asking his mother about what Kerry said ..and then he said , " Mommy, is he an American "?

that is why he resigned.\nif the demos had a chance to fire him it would mean bush would have to adnit he was wrong. \nright now the bush camp can spin this to make bush look good,\nwanting to work with demos, wanting a change in iraq, etc

Kerry is a candy azz coward. I'd slap him silly given the chance.\nMurtha is a senile bassturd, he's no war hero he's a traitor. Hasn't that fat bassturd heard of innocent until proven guilty?\nKennedy is a worthless murdering drunk .

Let's get one thing straight.  He did not "resign".  Bush asked him to leave.  In all of the previous calls for his resignation, he had said that he serves at the pleasure of the President.  That said, it's not a cut-and-run.  It gives the American people and the American government a fresh start-someone who can lead the war effort without having to worry about what the American people will think.  Rummy will always be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the war, so now it's time for someone who can honestly say, "I wasn't the one who was running it from the beginning, I just want to get the job done, and as quickly as possible.  I don't want to dwell on any possible mistakes; the past is the past, and this is what we have to get through."

A ploy they could use is appoint Lieberman to a cabinet post, then the Republican Governor of CT could appoint a Republican. I think he was hoping to get the Secretary of Defense post.

If you know someone who is down with politics, then ask them.

Dems, not wanting to jeopardize their leads in the polls, are distancing themselves from the Kerry situation completely.  I don't agree with it, I understand it, but its silly that many of the Democrats are playing into the "I'm offended by Kerry's statement" BS by abandoning Kerry.\n\nOf course, some battles are probably not worth fighting.  Kerry is running for nothing next week, so there is some prudence to it.

Their system is different than ours. His party has already told him that he is OUT but they get to pick a specific time for the next election. I believe I heard it was next March.

Not that it matters because he can't ever run again but NO.  Frankly, I don't think we should stick with one guy or one party for too long.  It's a bad idea.  If we change things up, we make sure that in the long run, every thing balances out and we don't become a country ruled by only one ideology.  No one has time to grab enough control to make everyone else miserable for the rest of eternity! :)

the Democratic party can ask bush all they want to bring home the troops . but its all up to him not them. if we brought them home today in less than a week there would be another attack on us soil . trust me ive been to iraq. those people are nuts

Yes it is time for Bush to step down, unfortunately our system does not work that way, but people have lost confidence in his ability to lead. His popularity has dropped to 29%. We will have an election in November that could change things. If the democrats can get a majority in either chamber then there is a possibility that he will be impeached. His leadership will certainly be challenged at best.

As far as I can tell,most people are fed up with him and his bunch of cronies,personally I feel it's time for him to go.He hasn't been very consistent(Charles Clarke is the best man for the job,2 days later,he's the first to be sacked!),he has lost the trust of the country over the whole Iraq fiasco and now his cabinet seems to be in meltdown,time to admit defeat and leave while he still can,before he's pushed.

Why should they?  He was just a front man for the screwy policies of Rumsfeld and Cheney, the two men who gave us our foreign policy.  (That's why Colim Powell quit, by the way.)  Bush is just a dummy.

I last minute resignation would be admitting mistakes and admitting the falsehood of the whole Iraqi adventure. Therefore such resignation would resort even a bigger Democratic win.\n\nHe could resign a couple of months ago but at that time Republicans still believed in their win. Fortunately they were mistaken!

He's stepping down, now because the republicans lost the midterms. With the democrats in power, there could be all kinds of investigations and hearings in regard to the Iraqi war. Rumsfield would probably still have a job if republicans had faired better in the elections. Although, if the Bush Admin was in fact planing to get rid of Rumsfield no matter what and he resigned two weeks ago as you suggest the media would have had 2 weeks of field days. With none stop debate and commentary about it, for example: "Are Republicans responding to poor poll numbers by forcing Rumsfield's resignation?" or "Obviously a last ditch effort to save the elections" or "Once praised by Pres Bush, Rumsfield resigns" "Rumsfield resigns, due to Iraq war miss-steps?"  and on on on. And all people hear is Republican, President Bush, poor handling of the war, poor poll numbers, Rumsfield resigning. Doesn't look good, even if you support the resignation. One must also consider the Pro-War Republican base that supported Rumsfield retaining his office. It's never a good idea to piss over the base of your party just two weeks before an election, especially if poll numbers are low and voter turn out is vital. \n\nHowever, in hindsight perhaps your right, considering the election results. HOw much worse could it have been for the Republicans?
