Why r democrats so quiet about John Kerry? Why did Kerry cancel his speaking engagements?

Hon, seriously, it's because what he says doesn't matter in the slightest.  If it's an issue, the voters will take care of it.  Nearly every politician out there is a power-hungry, money-grubbing jerk.  If you don't like it, do us a favor and refrain from adding to the problem by running for office yourself.

Kerry was giving a campaign talk to students for the losing candidate in California, Phil Angelides, when he said that if you paid attention and got good grades you could be a success and, if you didn't, you'd get stuck in Iraq. Everyone took that as a backhanded swipe at the troops indicating that they're stupid.\n\nKerry tried to state that he was making a joke and he flubbed it and people took it the wrong way. So I guess that he figures that people are stupid too. Then he refused to apologise. Then he apologised because people took his joke the wrong way.\n\nPersonally, I think he said what he said and given that he's done nothing but trash mouth the military for years, he meant it just the way he said it.

Because John Kerry was a really bad opponent. I don't know what the Democrats were thinking when they backed him to run for president. A lot of people who voted for Bush were actually just voting AGAINST Kerry. Maybe if the Dems could come up with a good candidate they might get back in office.

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.

Sadly, the Republic party if full of mindless morons that have no sense of self-thought. They tend to play 'follow the leader' on issues quite often without ever stopping to question whether or not something is fact or looking into the details.\n\nKerry has been a consistent target of this. Any person with half a brain knows Kerry was not seriously trashing the military. The man has two purple hearts from being injured twice in combat. \n\nBut, they keep on with their mindless rhetoric... playing the game of lets try to beat down those liberals. \n\nSad fact is, they are the ones who lose in the end because even if that kind of stuff works, America loses in the end. It is all about winning to them.. winning for their party and not America... I mean seriously, look whom they elected into office and look at the mess he has made. All so they could say ha ha we won.

Make no mistake about it, John Kerry won't go away. The media has given him a free pass for his tepid "apology" — one in which he never said he was sorry for his degrading remarks about U.S. troops. Kerry only apologized for the "misinterpretation" of his comments. John Kerry remains one of the most powerful U.S. Senators and is fully funded for a 2008 Presidential race.

He submitted to governance before he got the truth. Military disregard does not work and he would have been squashed like a bug. I am sure that the Dem's bailed him out. Like that career dem he hired for hired inner circle. Wife Shriver Is a Kennedy and they have action in CA. This may be the first dual party Governor in history.

He's saner than Gore, more truthful than Kerry. Not that those mean anything. He's still an insane lying nutjob.\n\nBut, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining speakers I've heard, completely unintended of course. It's like listening to a SNL skit.

he is not a democrat, or at least that's all I can see that there arguments boil down to.\n\nyou know I though they were supposed to be the "smart" ones but they are acting like a 4 year old that didn't get there way so they are going to throw a temper tantrum.

Just because he did not take time out of his busy day to visit you on the playground and ask for your ideas about Iraq does not mean he did not have a plan!\n\nSometimes you libs say such rediculous things, it's amazing you are smart enough to use a keyboard!

Well his popularity depends on who you're asking. Needless to say the liberal media isn't polling anybody I know! I live in Houston where of course he's quite popular, but I also work for a Dutch company and I'm working in Malaysia right now. The people I encounter from many different countries and backgrounds seem to understand what's really going on in the world and aren't as critical of him. I think most people that they poll just are giving a knee jerk reaction. Nobody is neccessarily pro-war, but there is a time and a place and if Iraq wasn't it, I don't know what would be! But to get more to your question (?)I have to say no; we can't contradict him. We'd be much worse off with Kerry in office because he would be a tool for the UN and they've shown to be totally ineffective.

John Kerry is a dumb a$$ who needs to sit down and keep his mouth shut, because obviously he is not smart enough to open it.  The sight of that man repulses me.

89% of the people on vote.com thought he owed the American people and apology.  I was emailed back by a Senator today, that Kerry did apologize and has decided to conclude his campaign and he is not running in the 2008 Primary.  So you are certainly in the minority.  I'm vote democratic.  I was very upset that he didn't make a distinction between the powers at be, and the troops who are fighting so that we have the freedom of speech to be discussing this. Even his own party, seperated themselves from him. No matter how devoted I am, I think for myself. Most Americans were disappointed, to say the least.  Ofcourse, the troops were dileberately misspelling their message.  Some of the kids that went to school, who didn't do well, are selling drugs and carry guns, I wish that would be changed also.  They just go in and out of jail. They are not fighting in the war to protect the U.S.  No matter how I feel about the war, I will never say anything against the troops, I was terrified in a 21 story building on the day of 9/11.  I couldn't work there anymore.  I don't think any of this is funny.  But if the troops want to say anything, they have certainly fought, and earned the right to!!!!!!!!

They are hiding her like they are Kerry now.The fact remains its bad news for all of America if that wacko is speaker of the house.\n\nI heard Kerry's punishment for his comments about our troops is to preform oral favors to Nancy until after the elections.\n\n(You know, flossing her teeth,etc)

Kerry meant what he said.  He was speaking STANDARD, WRITTEN, ENGLISH. There's nothing mysterious about what he said....he made a direct insult to the men and women of the US military.  \n\nIt was shameful.
