That is an interesting point. It could be the truth because I am a Bush fan all the way. I never cared for Kerry because he would have made a terrible president. It wouldn't surprise me if Kerry was behind the terrorist attacks.

He's a politician. Which means his only real ability is to stick his nose into other people's business and tell people what he thinks they want to hear. But, as we have seen from past attempts, he is not very good at either. \n\nAs far as his comment, some have tried to argue that he was attempting a slur at Bush, and failed. Which means either he is stupid enough to think insulting the troops will score him points with anyone, or he has simply reaffirmed that public speaking is (also) not his strong suit.\n\nThe only thing he really has going for him is name recognition, and sadly many Democrats don't realize that hitching their campaigns to his wagon are likely to cause as much harm as good.\n\nPoliticians -- can't live with them, haven't found a legal way to shoot them.

I dont know why Kerry portrays himself as smarter. Although i dont think you should hold a person on the grades they recieved at, yes, Yale. I agree Kerry is the "dumber" of the two and i am glad he did not become president. His comments yesterday were uncalled for and were not a "joke." They werent directed at Bush, they had nothing to do towards Bush.

So... the only reason that they have is... "because Kerry was stupid" and they don't seem to have a reason they think this? \n\nYes... clearly you are so intelligent, with an arguement as well thought out as that, how can we possibly argue with you? hahaha\n\nBush had a lot to clean up after Clinton? like what? Maybe under the desk in the oval office, but that's about it?

It's an act.  Offended by what exactly?  Kerry should stand his ground and show some balls on this issue.  The man is a Vietnam vet.  As such, he is much more qualified to comment on the Iraq issue or other military related issues than coward George W. Bush and his draft-dodging cronies.

Such strong arguments here.. Just to clarify for you people: Name-calling is not the same as stating facts.  I have not seen any facts stated in the anti-bush argument on this site.  It's pathetic.

Kerry never stood behind his OWN men, betrayed THEM.  Now, he makes statements condemning TODAY'S VOLUNTEER military.  Surprised?  Not me.  Angry?  Absolutely.  He is a complete disgrace.  I can't believe that with his superior attitude  that ANYONE can defend anything that he says. he so obviously looks at the rest of us with such disdain, ESPECIALLY the military.  If he was as smart as he THINKS he is he would be doing some MAJOR apologizing instead of trying to say that he was talking about BUSH and NOT the military.  Anyone who heard his comments can see what a lie that was.  He doesn't even have the courage to stand behind his own statements.  I guess he thinks the rest of us are just too DUMB, he can explain it away and everyone will just accept it.  THAT is John Kerry. \nPROUD of our military and PROUD to be an American.

yes, and the man is more intelligent than you can dream of being. stop trying to make excuses to insult him, if youdon't like what he does, then criticize the job he does, not him. i guarantee you that you couldn't be president, especially during a war

Really, Bush worse than Kim Jong Il?\n\nThat's a little surprising to me. But then, I see questions on this board every day comparing him to Hitler, Mussolini, and Bin Laden.\n\nIt's a shame so many other countries have this perception of us as hateful, ignorant, abrasive, rude people. We're really not. \n\nAnd comparing Bush to Kim Jong Il or Hitler is really, really absurd, no matter how much you dislike the man or disagree with his policies.

Is it really possible to be dumber than Bush? Looking at the posts from fat old fart and pobept, I'd have to say it is.

America heard Kerry's comments for what they were.\n\nKerry got mad because we didn't hear what his statement was supposed to be.\n\nMany Liberals ( such as Mr. Colmes ) claim that Kerry's  "joke" was clearly refering to Bush's Iraq policy.\n\nNow why do they say that when the statement that Kerry made in no way refered to Bush, not even any symbolism partaining to Bush...\n\nIt just goes to show the far left has a lot of bias.\n\nWhat a funny "joke" - but Kerry is not laughing, maybe this is because he realizes that the joke's on him.\n\nI wonder if he has taken his foot out of his mouth yet. The Democrats shoved it in there, while they wrote Kerry's "apology".\n\nKerry's "apology" was not sincere because prior to his apology, as you said, he demanded that Bush apologise. He also said that he will not aplogise for his words.\n\nSo you have to be blind to actually think Kerry is sorry.\n\n\n\nThose comments are nothing compared to his other anti- troop comments.\n\nHe called our boys terrorist for terrorising wemon and children in Iraq. he called his own comrads murderers after he served in Vietnam.\n\nAnd yet the Liberals say that he is a proud war veteren? He threw his purple hearts on the Whitehouse lawn.\n\nFor all we know, he could have made self inflicted wounds to get those hearts.\n\n\n\nI hope we don't have to many Democrats that think like John Kerry.

Well  from what I can see both parties can be fairly hateful.I do not think 1 is worse in this area than the other.

No.  Bush is inarticulate and out of touch.  The last one was about Social Security reform, and look how well that did.

There's an article in the Washington Post (or CNN - not sure) that talk about how Kerry is a bigger pariah in his own party than Bush allegedly is in his.  Apparently, his schedule was freed up by these latest comments.  Nobody wants him campaigning for them.

funny but as per his usual reaction to saying something stupid he of course flip-flopped and said what he meant to say was bush was stupid and uneducated (didn't bush go to Yale and actually got better grades than Kerry !) i guess with Kerry and Edwards we have to be mind readers too and guess at what they might mean...scary thought to have to get inside those two brains.
