Who thinks that Kerry's little zinger about the military just cost the Democrats the mid-term elections?

John Kerry is such a coward...........I mean he couldn't even get up in front of anyone and apologize with a microphone in front of him..and a camera on him...........He had to do it in writing.....give me a break!\nThat is not an official apology in my book.....the coward!\nHe has hurt the Dems and they all know it..........The only one  to admit he was wrong with what he said was Hillary, which surprised me,...I don't like her b/cause she lies so much, but   .I give her credit for that.......Where's Ted Kennedy?  Where's Nancy Pelosi? Where's Harry Reed.?   and the rest of the rat pack?????? They are all so embarrased...Look at all those running for something and asked Kerry not to show for them...OUCH..that has to hurt his ego......OH  WELL!  Get over yourself Kerry!  You're a nobody!!!never was....Only you think you were........Anyone who puts down our president, our country , and our servicemen is an embarrasement.....Thats why the insurgents  want the dems to win.....

try reading ''unfit for command'' a nice little read exposing what a fraud kerry is and it is taken from actual stories from his fellow swift boat comrads during his tour... it paints a portrait of him having a  desire for getting medals under questionable circumstances, like getting a purple heart after tossing a grenade into a rice paddie and a piece of shrapnel put a small cut over his ankle... or rescuing a fellow comrad and saying his boat was involved in a hail of machine gunfire but since it was a freshly painted boat , they wondered why there wasnt any bullet marks at all on that boat.. once he touched american soil he ranted about the abuse his  fellow american soldiers were doing to the enemy and put all of the soldiers at risk... total sellout and a fraud.. oh by thr way george bush tried three times to fly combat in vietnam and was turned down because he didnt have the required flight hours... john kerry did not get shot several times in combat.. he served 4 months in a year tour but the media acts like he is a rambo with several tours of duty... he requested several times to leave vietnam early and he was granted his wish... dole, bush sr, reagan, all served duty in nam and bush jr did serve in the national guard..  good ole bill clinton is a draft dodger but the dems didnt want to talk about that when they ran against bob dole... when kerry ran against bush thats all they wanted to talk about and when he was called on his service duty he was exposed as a fraud and he was caught with his pants down and around his neck.. then they questioned the gall of anyone questioning his service in vietnam but didnt want to talk about it anymore and he didnt defend himself anymore except for the moron who ran around the country saying ''' john kerry saved my life'' like some broken record but he didnt reveal the details about his ''rescue'' and he went back in hiding and he is nowhere to be found...hmmmmm...

Most Americans will see this "joke" for what it is... an expression of his lack of respect for the American military. If they have have any sense they will steer clear of candidates that will weaken and destroy America, which not always, but in most cases is the Democrat party.

That's right! But you forgot to tell them to go screw a goat while they're at it. \n\nAnd more of us voted for Bush than voted for Kerry. There's a lot more Bush supporters than people realize, but they get tired of being shouted down by the whacked out liberals who don't like him.

You know, we Republicans could say the same thing. The liberals, or as I like to call them, the Socialist Party of America, likes to bring up Vietnam everytime we turn around. Or like your "Got oil?" picture. If he was after oil, do you think prices would be so high right now? He would be shipping it out of there so fast, it would make their heads spin. No. All the Socialists can say is that we are after oil? What about the thousands who died under Hussien's rigime? And now they are trying to dig up dirt on our military members caught in the middle of a firefight after their vihicle blew up and their buddy they went through basic is dead, roasting in the burning vehicle they had to get out of, and you want to whine about them killing a few civilians who unexpectedly charged into the middle of it? You put yourself in the middle of all that, and then tell me about it. War is Hel#, and if your gonna win, you have to be willing to take the risk to stay alive. If all you can offer our troops is slander about our Commander in Cheif, think about how moral of the troops is. And Byrd? KKK? True, but he's one of the Socialist heroes. And Bill? He lied to the nation. He lost all trust. Has bush flat out lied? No. He has acted on what the security council has told him. You put yourself in that chair, and listen to a board of directors, military men, and other people, and the only thing you know is what they are feeding you, and when their stories match up, thats what you have to go on. Also think about what is good for the people, not only of your party, not only of your country, but the good of the world community. So, "Dead horse"? The liberals do the same thing, comparing this war to Vietnam. And other instances. Here's why Vietnam fell apart. The nation lost all faith in the troops. The troops heard this and their moral took a plumet. They lost all will to fight. But I still beleive. God Bless America and Her Troops!! Thank you.

Only the Democrats who HATE Bush. Once you reach that level of passion you're no longer thinking rationally. And by implication, if you think Bush is stupid, then the men and women who volunteer for military service are just as dumb. Kerry is an ARROGANT intellectual. As if his "sh-t didn't stink too"

PROBABLY, BUT HERMAN GOT THE BRAINS, KERRY IS  A LIBERAL RETARD.

Kerry is pathetic.  I think he is just trying to cover his tracks.  If he was taking a jab at Bush then he should have said that.  The fact that he criticizes our brave troops and wanted to be their commander in chief makes me sick.  Thankfully, that will never happen now.

You see by that first guy's answer that Dems really do believe the troops are stupid.\n\nNow, who is putting words in their mouths?

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.

You can tell the mid-term elections are approaching.  The draft scare tactic didn't work for the Democrats in 2004, guess they're setting themselves up for another loss...

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you.  Kerry said what he said.  It was not taken out of context, he was not talking about Bush, not was it a joke.\n\nKerry has spoken and acted against the military since he lied during his testimony to the Senate.  he has consistantly voted against the military and against all legislation that favors not just the military but soldiers as well.\n\nKerry believes he is above the common soldier and has proven he thinks that time and again.

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.

Yes.  Kerry is the face of the Democratic Party.  Kerry hates the troops, like all Democrats do.  Only, Kerry slipped up and admitted it in public.

J.Kerry meant it the way he said it. It was a put down for our troops serving bravely in Iraq.  Kerry is an idiot!  He does remind me of why I voted for G. Bush.

John Kerry statement didn't make any difference to me. \n\nMy "problem" with the Dems at this point is I don't have any idea where they stand. I hear them say they have a plans to bring the troops home, but when pressed they say 'we have to stay and finish, but bring the troops home as fast as possible.' When pressed for details I'm told 'Just elect us and see.'.\n\nI'm not voting for anyone until I know where they stand. So far all the Dems have said is vote against Bush. I don't vote against a person I vote FOR a person and right now the Dems don't have a person to vote FOR.

Since he has voted  against most defense bills like the B-1 bomber, Patriot Missile systems, etc where does it show he is for the military?  \n\nIs this another liberal dodge to get every ones minds off the elections on Tuesday? Who really cares about John Kerry? He is a non-issue!
