Is Kucinich crazy or just hates military this much?

If they cut funds, expect a body count double the current.  We are barely accomplishing mission with what we have there now.  Cut funding and the Democrats will have killed many Soldiers.  \n\nI pray it does not happen.  If it does, the Dems are going to have blood on their hands...the'll prob blame it on Bush though...

Yes.  He has served in the military through 2 foreign wars.  Then he went on to serve in Congress.  And while in Congress, he had the political courage to give his opinion, even though it was unpopular.  He has done more for America than most people ever will.

I have seen his answers and he appears to be full of gall. May be he needs a gall bladder operation. He is probably a redneck republican who used to drink a sixpack of beer and go shooting every other day. Unfortunately he probably lost his job and turned bitter and now that he can't afford to buy the beer or the pellets needed for his shotgun he spews venom at others.\nOr probably he is gay but he is afraid to come out of the closet and is angry at the gay people who can actually admit it.\nI don't know. Just give him the blue pill.

Yes, I heard this same thing. I am outraged too. J.Kerry is always doing our military a disfavor.

yes and no....it's about time someone stood up to all the terrorist activity that has been ignored for so long. i'm prior actice duty and currently reserve. i would rather we take care of it now and try to nip it in the butt than have our children overseas fighting and dying to take care of something that we didn't. \non the othere hand i think he's a bully/coward. he threatens everyone with our military. does the *ucking moron not understand that we cannot be stretched anymore thean we already are. he makes all these decisions to take over and help a small country while he sits in front of the fireplace being served gamebirds by his "servents" and sipping fine wine with his family. if he spent christmas in a foxhole he might think twice before he comes up with some hairbrain scheme to take over and "help" (gas, gas, gas!!!!) others as much as he has. \nlord have mercy on our country. we are at our most vunerable right now. right now is not the time to recieve idol threats from other countries. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME soon to their children, spouses and other members of their families. \nwhen your at home sitting over your turkeys with your families getting ready to dig in please don't forget to say a prayer for those of us who are over there making it possible........

Well after having a son over in Iraq and seeing all those young men and women comming home with no arms and legs along with their mental state. I think his excuse for going to war was pretty crazy, we didn't see any mass weapon and the young men and women still have there hands full with afghanistan (which by the way I beleive they are still doing bombing runs) beside losing more young service men and women everyday in Iraq.But the killer is those people over there have been fighting with each other for years and will continue to do so.They are at the end of civil war over there.Besides that the older people are totally confused about the health care reform and gas prices are reaching to the point of no return. Jobs across this state are being loss and bankruptcy cases are at a all time high. The miltary is going to h### in a hand basket,people have loss faith in the America constitution and most of the young people have no morals.So to answer your question, I think he is the worst president we have ever had.

If you look at statements sKerry has made over the years since he returned from Vietnam, his disdain for our troops is quite evident. \n\nI've known about how he's felt for some time. Good thing others are finally waking up to it. And remember, he's who the left nominated for president... he speaks for them. So think about that if you do really support the troops when you vote on Tuesday.

I never wanted the troops to go in the first place.\n\nOne could say we might be seeing the GOP cut and run on this one, what with Rummy bidding a fond adieu.

Of course, last year it was terrorizers.  He's called them rapists, failures, war criminals...\n\nNow, scratchie-poo purple heart traitor calls them stupid.\n\nMost liberals like John Kerry openly hate the military.  They think freedom is free.

Yes, it is crazy.\n\nSix generals (five retired two-stars and one retired four-star) out of 4,000+ are bitching because they disagree with Rumsfeld's management style.  Okay, he is a hard guy to work for, no argument.  But their main gripe is that Rumsfeld is turning the military into something it needs -something these guys disagree with.  Rumsfeld has also tried to resign twice, and it's true that Bush won't let him, because he (as well as most of the military & civilian leadership at the Pentagon) know full well that what Rumsfeld is doing IS important.\n\nSecond, the government is asking for those search records to track down who's been surfing child-porn sites, and to see who's been trying to build bombs (but mainly it's done to take down the perverts).\n\nTexas cops raiding bars and arresting drunk people...not sure where this story came from or if this is just an isolated incident.  But public intoxication *is* a crime.  It also may be the people arrested were harrassing and/or threatening someone else, also a crime.\n\nA report coming out that marijuana doesn't have any medicinal uses?  Well, reports on what is good & what isn't keep going back and forth.  Give it about another 18-24 months and you'll see the opposite.  Again.\n\nThe war (I assume this refers to Iraq) being a joke and a lie.  I'm not sure I should dignify this with a response, but the truth is that, contrary to what gets reported on the news, Iraq has in fact been much improved over the past three years.  It should be noted that the entire number of American casualties (though I agree that even one death or maiming is a tragedy) is so low as to be unprecedented.  Iraq is stabilizing, and the way things are going, a significant number of troops should be home by the end of the year.\n\nOil prices are, like every other commodity in the world, subject to that force known as 'economics'.  In this case, there's so much demand (and not so much to go around) that the price keeps rising.  Meanwhile, because we're talking about billions of people buying their product(s), oil companies have become extremely wealthy.  It may not be 'fair', but that's economics for you.  Nobody ever said economics -hell, the world in general- is 'fair'.\n\nImmigration reform.  Well, if you understood how many people in the country are truly pissed off about these people a) breaking the law to get here, b) undercutting wages for legal workers, and c) getting preferential treatment in some cases over legal immigrants, you might understand why so many people are up in arms.  And it *is* a serious threat to security.  If ordinary illegals can cross, then so can those wackos from MS-13, so can drug smugglers (and these guys do), and so can terrorists (Although in a lot of ways, MS-13 guys ARE terrorists).\n\nThe guy in South Carolina?  Well, everyone has different things they're offended by, and he's just exercising his rights to be a concerned citizen.\n\nAs to this 'plan'...like I said, yes, it's a crazy idea.  Remember, the people who would enforce things are as human as everyone else, and I doubt you could find enough people -civilian or military- to go along with this.  Bush doesn't want to be a dictator; he's just extremely stubborn in doing things.  Mind you, he's annoyed me a lot of times, either for doing what I see as something dumb, or for doing something I agree with, but not communicating *why* it's a good idea.\n\nBy the way, it's spelled "martial law".  "Marshall" is someone's last name.\n\nAnd despite what a couple of people seem to be concerned about here, no, the FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, etc., do NOT monitor these sites.  They (especially the law enforcement guys) are extremely sensitive to such things, since they're tasked with upholding the law.  They only check into such things when they get a tip (e.g. some idiot on

I think he really screwed up here.  What he did is a career ender, no matter what party it came from.  Lets face it, the Republicans weren't/aren't doing much to help their standing, but thanks to Mr. Kerry (which he will remain, Mr. that is) they didn't need to.  Now they need to run with it.  \n\nAlso, this thing with Kerry refusing to appologize to the troops and the military, I guess he wants to take the express train out D.C.  I didn't vote for him to 2004, and if he thinkns that he's going to get any votes in 2008, he's nuts!!  The military is one of those things that you just don't mess with.  The American People may not stand behind the leaders of the Military, but they do stand behind the troops.  After all, the troops are our Sons and Daughters.  Some of the smartest people in the nation work in and with the military.  By insulting the people who are defending our freedom, Kerry has doomed himself to an eternity of nothing.

NO His excuse should have been, I just hate our Armed Forces,\nhe has since 1971.\n\nTell me he know what the average man/women live like being married to a billionaire.....give me a break....demos are so lame.\n\nYeah Hillary stops by Mickey D's on her way to work.\nYeah right......

I'm scared too,he controls much less than he thinks he does.\nTo say that he would keep our guys over in Afghanistan or another year even if the house voted against sending them for two,isn't dictatorship what they are over there to stop?\nHe doesn't control his emotions,he doesn't have any of his own to control,I saw him take his kids to school,bid them good by with a handshake like he would give Tony Blair.\nI hope he won't last the summer.

I've responded with the same source time and time again.  Read his original resolution: H.R. 2723.  It is men and women, the only choices are Military or civilian related, no questions asked.  You will give at least 15 months whether you like it or not.  I don't know what you are listening to or basing your question off of, but do a little research.  If is goes to congress again, he'll say he made a point and the republicans want your children to die (that is basically what he said last time).  If it is shot down he'll claim it is because nobody wants their children to go to war.  He's already won and doesn't have to do anything about it.  Thank God we have so many people who would rather see our country vanish than defend or protect.  Then again that's why we have people out there, you know the ones, the uneducated doing it for us.  Sorry, sparky's remarks were no twisted joke.

Actually,  I think you're totally right.  Have you noticed how stressed out the man has looked lately?  He has really aged over the past 2 or 3 years.  He is stuck in an unwinnable war, and he doesn't know how to get out of it.  Now that his party doesn't control congress, he can blame all his troubles on that.  He can ask congress for all kinds of wacky nutjob laws, and when they refuse to pass them, he can say, "Look, everything would be better if congress had passed the Give a Range Rover to Every Iraqi bill, but they rejected it, so you can't blame me!"

Absolutely YES. I come from a Republican Family and I am at odds with many. They put "Being a Republican" ahead of logical thinking. How can a thinking person support George Bush. I am a Republican but this man is a walking disaster. He has done ,NOT one thing to improve this country. I think it is all to make his daddy richer and happier. Iraq was and is a disaster. The man lied and keeps on lying about the war. The man on the street knows better how the war is going. Enlisted people are going to jail because they are being held responsible for what officers told them to do and then denied giving the orders.Any one who has been in combat knows that enlisted men and women do only what they are told. The marines involved in the killing of civilians were told by HIGH UP the chain of command to do whatever they did. Officers will not be sacrificed. Enlisted "Grunts " will. My family believes the propaganda from the White House- I do not.

Narrow minded?  I'm not sure what I would call it...budget surplus wasted, an illegal war entered into...outing a CIA agent, no bid contracts for Halliburton...I'd say he is totally unsuited for the job...of course looking at his history he really hasn't done well at anything...good thing he has a rich well connected dad.
