i really expected to see a thread on this by the time i got here.
see what happens when you put a mic in front of people?? wonder what size shoe fits in that mouth? thing is, no one likes to eff up. it's worse when others know it. but i think you can tell a lot about a person when they stand up and own what they did. i do it. luckily don't have to do so often! makes you wonder tho, why would this guy want to be commander in chief of a force for which he seems to have so little respect?? and it really ticked me off, not just because my husband and i are vets...but my oldest son is currently active duty in the navy, and my other two are talking about going. all three do very well at school and could go to any college they chose. and we all know how much stronger a reaction you get when you feel your child is being slighted. it's not the first time i've heard thinking like his, i've seen at least one poster on this board suggest that the military is for those who otherwise couldn't get a job--it's laughable.

Kerry is probably the only bigger idiot than Bush. This guy is all about himself. All he has to do is apologize, but he won't and now the Republicans are going to get some juice out of it.
I don't care what anyone says, I really think Kerry thinks the members of our military are idiots. He is elitist trash. Probably blames them for costing him the election, even though he has nobody to blame but himself for running an awful campaign. Any guy who loses to George Bush should be forced to resign his position in government. It makes you wonder if they just give degrees away at Yale for showing up.

Oh my stars and garters, how much more of the Republican Party Machine Kool-Aid are some of you going to keep drinking? You really think a veteran is going to insult his fellow vets? Dear God; to listen to some of you, you'd think Bush was the one on the Swift Boats and Kerry the one hiding out from the National Guard duty his daddy's friends got him. Here's what Kerry said after bobbling a not-very-funny joke (as I don't find it funny at all that Bush being a stupid moron has resulted in almost 3,000 Americans dead in Iraq. Not one bit.). Anyway, for those of you who get all your news from Fox, here's what Kerry said. From salon.com:
<<Kerry said that he "botched" a "joke" when he said Monday that "if you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well," but that if you don't "you get stuck in Iraq." But he insisted that the White House and its Republican allies knew full well what he meant: Not that members of the U.S. military are stupid or uneducated, but that the president and his people might be. "This president and his administration didn't do their homework," Kerry said. "They didn't study what would happen in Iraq. They didn't study and listen to the people who were the experts and would have told them. And they know that's what I was talking about yesterday." Kerry was just getting started. "I think Americans are sick and tired of this game. These Republicans are afraid to stand up and debate a real veteran on this topic. And they're afraid to debate -- you know, they want to debate strawmen because they're afraid to debate real men. Well, we're going to have a real debate in this country about this policy. The bottom line is: These Republicans want to distort this policy. And, this time, it won't work because we are going to stay in their face with the truth. No Democrat is going to be bullied by these people, by these kinds of attacks that have no place in American politics. It's time to set our policy correct. They have a stand-still-and-lose policy in Iraq, and they have a cut-and-run policy in Afghanistan. And the fact is, our troops, who have served heroically, who deserve better, deserve leadership that is up to their sacrifice -- period." Asked about John McCain's criticisms of his remarks, Kerry said that McCain knows what he really meant. "John McCain ought to ask for an apology from Dick Cheney for misleading America," he said. "He ought to ask for an apology from the president for lying about the nuclear program in Africa. He ought to ask for an apology for once again a week ago referring to al-Qaida as being the central problem in Iraq, when al-Qaida is not the central problem. Enough is enough. I'm not going to stand for these people trying to shift the topic and make it politics. America deserves a real discussion about real policy. And that's what this election is going to be about next Tuesday." Minutes after Kerry's staff circulated a transcript of his press conference, the Republican National Committee responded with a blast e-mail under its "America Weakly" banner. The headline: "Kerry Apologizes to No One: 2004 Dem Presidential Nominee John Kerry Refuses to Apologize for Belittling U.S. Troops." >> I'm sure McCain will clarify his own remarks as soon as he gets Bush's penis out of his mouth. Sorry. That was crude. But I'm so tired of McCain riding on the "maverick" label when in fact, when push comes to shove, he's just another Bush lackey. I apologize for being crude, but this whole thing just makes me so damn mad I could spit. Bad enough Santorum accuses Casey of aiding terrorists through pension funds, now the GOP tries to accuse Kerry of insulting veterans? Can they get anymore desperate?

... and, of course, I don't think anyone here is stupid. I'm just so mad over what is clearly a blatant attempt by the GOP to obsfucate the real issues (did I use that word right? Spell it right, even?). But the fact that people here who are genuine independents got snookered by this really makes me marvel again at the power of the GOP slime machine.
Yay for all the vets, by the way!

This so called veteran DID insult his fellow vets...at the congressional hearings on Vietnam, calling American G.I's murderers & rapists...I AM a vet of Vietnam and I was insulted. You use a statement about Mc Cain and Bush's penis, and then you have the balls to call people the Republican Slime Machine.

Even when Kerry sticks his foot in his mouth, in your eyes it is somehow the fault of the republicans. It's comical.
