BigRedFan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Do you think that he should apologize or was he just stating the facts as he sees them. Do you think that he showed his true colors or lack thereof? All comments are welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 They were completely out of line and he needs to apologize. The media would be all over this if it was coming from another source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CNOrtega Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've officially given up on John Kerry. I just stared at the screen and shook my head, because I voted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForGoodNews Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 My Father is a veteran of the Vietnam War, and I am finished with Kerry after that comment. It was clearly the biggest "foot in mouth" mistake I have ever heard from a politician trying to gain national level support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one4all Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 John Kerry's comment: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." Do you feel this is an insult to our troops and their families? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yep. Kerry is such an idiot that when he tries to cheap shot push, he insults 80% of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1980 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 and he call himself a veteran.....so is he calling himself stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildcatPride Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I, for one, am grateful that Kerry speaks his mind, so everyone can have a very clear idea of what the Democrat elite think. They are so wrapped up in Vietnam flashback thinking and conspiracy theorists, that they still really don't believe that we are at war against radical Islam.

Middle Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Kerry is a moron, and his comment reflects that. Recruiters go after the struggling high schoolers, not the smart kids. That's a fact, but the way he words it is just insulting to all of the soldiers who weren't the idiots in school. Originally posted by WildcatPrideThey are so wrapped up in Vietnam flashback thinking and conspiracy theorists, that they still really don't believe that we are at war against radical Islam. Actually Iraq was a fight against Saddam and his regime which was deemed a threat to America. Saddam was a secular leader, so it wasn't a fight against radical Islam. That is, until the vacuum was filled with radical Islamics from other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldandwhite Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Middle, that is a good point. We should have put 100,000 troops on the ground in Afghanistan first, and taken care of business there. Osama bin Laden should have been the first target, then maybe Saddam. The Israelis would have taken care of him if he got too far out of line, like they will the Iranians if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one4all Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Where is Osama Bin Laden? What has he done since we put troops in Afghanistan? Did the Generals call for more troops to find this man? Did the President and Congress feel that were weapons of mass distruction in Iraq? Did Saddam deny it? There is alot Monday morning quarterbacking going on on the democratic side. Thank God that we have a man of principles in the Whitehouse. We are safer because of it. It would be a field day for the terrorist if Kerry was President. He would have excuses, but he would not apolgize. God bless America, I think he has with George W. Bush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an "issue." The war is an issue. Our troops are part of the issue. Slandering the living and dishonoring the dead is an issue. The "issue" will manifest itself during the late hours of Nov. 7 and the early hours of Nov. 8. Thanks John Kerry! Running your mouth will cost you and your party again!! :thumbsup: Don't you fools ever learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I was referring more to the way sound bites have become "issues" in and of themselves: the way we all obsess over them & pigeon-hole ONE PERSON's comments as the way a WHOLE GROUP feels. Originally posted by 50pinchDid you think the same when Lott misspoke? Yep -- 'sure did !! ;) Those were the words of ONE MAN -- not any entire party/political philosophy.

threejs Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 From Cheaptrick: "I was referring more to the way sound bites have become "issues" in and of themselves: the way we all obsess over them & pigeon-hole ONE PERSON's comments as the way a WHOLE GROUP feels." I agree. This is exactly why Kerry's travel schedule just took a hit. A lot of Democrats in tight races do not want him anywhere near their campaign. Surely the longshot Democratic gov. candidate isn't still considering having Kerry stump for him in Texas. That was political suicide even before the comments.

one4all Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Kerry made a firm statement that he would apologize to no one. Days later he seccumbs to the pressure and apologizes. He is the botched joke and a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
