Well, Kerry bungled a joke. That should serve as a GREAT distraction to help the Republicans avoid the larger issue of having an actual joke in the White House.

The neocons should send thank-you notes to Mr. Kerry. After all, any distraction in a storm (or especially its aftermath, if you live in New Orleans)….

Good morning, Jim,

Like a lot of others, I have made fun of “Georgie” Bush for his bungling of the “American” language from time to time. He is not the “sharpest knife in the drawer” when it comes to oration or even good conversation.

“Johnny” Kerry, on the other hand, said with didactic accuracy exactly what he meant. He is just in the “wrong war” and the “wrong decade!” His Vietnam mentality is leaking through, and it demonstrates that he “was not” and “is not” what we need to lead America in the post-modern world.

That being true, “Georgie” Bush should not be too smug. He has gone from “staying the course” to NOT “staying the course” but “finishing the mission” which, I seem to recall, was “accomplished” some years ago!

Only and “idiotic” political mind can understand it all!

on March 6, 2004, a New York Times article called the way Kerry thinks through problems “the mark of an intellectual who grasps the subtleties of issues, inhabits their nuances and revels in the deliberative process.”

Bwhahahahahaha.

Kerry demanded that Bush redeploy the uneducated US troops, and Bush called him a “cut and runner”. That weird bearded Shia leader demanded that Bush redeploy the uneducated US troops, and Bush complied within hours.

We are about to watch that weird bearded Shia guy explore the limits of his own power. The Shia Superstate is upon us.

Kerry is an idiot. Bush is a opportunist. But that weird bearded Shia guy is a hornet and he’s at the gate. He’s straight out of hollywood casting. Check out file video of this guy giving a speech. If Martin Luther King is our greatest orator, then this weird bearded Shia guy is theirs, (the anti-matter counterpart to MLK).

He vogues meaner, more wicked, and projects hatred and anger with his eyes and face better than I’ve ever seen.

Nov. 7th is suddenly moot. It’s all moot, as the Shia Superstate is born before our eyes. Two years ago, we were ordered to stand down by this guy after we surrounded his then fledgling militia in a mosque. We stood down then, too.

With Iran’s China umbrella, Shia hegemony is the new kid on the block. I’m with Cheney on this: I dont see problem. The Shia are reasonable people. They dont hold grudges nor are they prone to act our their frustrations with the western-imposed captivity and persectution that has ruined their lives since 1922 when W (W was Winston churchill, then) first invaded Iraq.

MSP,

One can “stay on course” by taking the high road or the low road. John Kerry took the low road and refused to apologize for his arrogant blunder.

Which leads us to another cliche’ - “History repeats itself” with [this John “I don’t fall down” Kerry] episode.](http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1101848/posts)

The Weird Bearded Shia Guy is no fool. In his redeployment agreement with the US, he put through a $100K tax break for himself on land he bought seven years ago that bordered the Sunni Reservoir, which he has sold to developers so no Sunni can get a drop of free water.

Whether you or for or against this war (I am against) John Kerry’s remarks are despicable! I wonder how much hurt the family of those serving felt. I wonder how it made the men and women that are serving feel. This is a comment from a top level leader in the country they serve. They were told they were not smart enough to cut it in school.

I do not like this war but I do know that our soldiers need every bit of support from home they can get. They are in a harsh environment, away from their loved ones and they do not need to deal with these mind games. Shame on Kerry! He is a disgrace and I feel he should apologize, and possibly even resign.

Mr Kerry should apologize. The military of today is not that of the Vietnam War. It is very high tech and requires brain and brawn to succeed in it. Unlike the Vietnam War there is no draft yet. The military can and does choose the best and the brightest of those who choose to serve our country. Unlike Vietnam era when any idiot could get drafted and find themelves in Southeast Asia, our military personel today are very well educated and choose to serve their country. John Kerry is a disgrace and an embarresment to the military he served in.

Jim, I see you received yout RNC talking points in a timely fashion.

If you took a moment to look at the socio-economic demographics of the current military — especially the troops on the ground in Iraq — you would see that Kerry’s remarks, inelegantly stated though they were, are right on the money. And especially right about the money.

The children of privilege are staying away in droves, just like your President and Vice-President did during Vietnam.

To leap on Kerry’s remark as proof of some perceived Democratic Party disdain for the troops demonstrates once and for all that you are a deeply unserious person, nothing but a relay station for wingnut talking points that have no bearing on the reality of the situation.

Fine, have it your way. Let’s make the next week until the election about Iraq. Lets talk about this war, started under false pretenses; lasting longer than WW II; responsible for more US deaths than the 9/11 attacks; and creator of droves of severely injured and maimed veterans. Let’s discuss disdain for the troops: insufficient body and vehicle armor; insufficient troop levels; an ill-defined mission; underfunded veteran medical treatments. How about funnelling money to KBR and other contractors who routinely fed the troops outdated rations? And how about Bush showing his face at even one military funeral? Not bloody likely.

No, Jim, if anyone is guilty of showing contempt for our troops, it is the cynical Chickenhawks of DC who treat the world like a giant game of Risk, and see the troops as nothing more than plastic chits to push around a game board. And subsequently, people like you and John McCain, people who have been there and should know better, who stand a clap louder as this President and his pampered pu$$ies of privilege send children to die. Other people’s children, and typically people who select military service as a means of escaping poverty or earning a higher education.

You really should be ashamed, Jim, you and your chorus of yapping seals here on this blog who display car magnets and believe themselves serious patriots. You should all crawl away and hide yourselves from shame. But you haven’t even the decency for that. Instead, you fling half-witticisms about Kerry and Pelosi, continue to blame all the problems of the nation on Clinton, and smugly shake your head at the inability of the world to recognize your brilliance.

You do have the wit to realize that Kerry’s remarks MUST be attacked, because the truth in his comments needs to be smothered by your faux outrage and blather. Kerry struck a nerve alright, but not because of your professed love of the American military. This is especially true if you read the full remarks for context. But you want to play gotcha with a line taken out of context and twisted to mean something he did not say, a silly game for Unserious people like yourselves who feign wisdom and gravitas but at root seem to think this is nothing more important than a campaign for homecoming queen.

Good morning all. I think Jim nailed it with his last couple of sentences. All of our blog contributors know before I write a word that I disagree with Senator Kerry’s comments. I do not have a serious dispute with the internal consistency of his comments – I think they provide an honest window into his thoughts, and the highlight the profound difference of view between our leftist friends and my team. I wish more politicians would so-speak from the heart, instead of hiding their thoughts behind wishy-washy meaningless language. I wish conservatives would act conservative, and I wish leftists would not hide their agendas; obviously I believe that would be a benefit to my team, but it would have the additional virtues that arise from honest debate.

The recent power play by Al Sadr to remove the check points in Sadr City shows who is the power in Iraq.

Al Sadr and Malarki are allies to Iran. Iran is not an ally to us.

We all know that military recruiters primarily target schools and shopping centers in lower middle-class and poor neighborhoods. We all know that the soldiers and marines on the ground in Iraq are made up primarily of people from lower-middle class and poor families. We all know that the names of the dead that roll across our television screens every week are made-up primarily of people from lower-middle class and poor families. We all know that the front lines of our volunteer military force are primarily made up of people who joined for a steady paycheck, structure and discipline in their lives – and, people who seek opportunities for higher education that they otherwise might not have access to.

We can continue to feign outrage or we can deal with the reality of what we all know Senator Kerry actually meant – that is that the large majority of soldiers and marines who died or were maimed in Iraq came from the underclass — allowing the rest of us to continue living our lives as though we’re not at war.

Realist: And this “glimpse” you’ve gotten into The Left’s attitude toward the military… does it exist anywhere outside your own head?

Because you can’t base it on what one guy said when he flubbed a joke, especially when that guy’s not even running for office.

Be a realist, Realist: you already made your mind up on what The Left thinks about the military long ago, and nothing that any public official actually says—one way or the other—will have the slightest effect on that.

That’s like knowing 1+1=2 but when you take the test you say 1+1=3. What makes it worse is that he isn’t apologizing for his gaffe and how it came out, he’s steamrolling along and ignoring what he actually said, claiming he said something totally different. Perhaps he should go back and actually listen to the words that came out of his mouth, and not the words he ignored on the paper…

This supercilious Assachussetts band aid warrior gigolo who cynically turned three small (self inflicted) scratches into purple hearts and whined and whined until he was transferred to less dangerous duty in Nam has the unmitigated gall to sneer at the troops and Bush. Funny how Kerry was virtually the only snot nosed draftee in Nam with a personal home movie camera to record footage for future political campaigns. Shame he didn’t shoot footage of his three pitifully small wittle bitty scratches. Funny also how he still will NOT release his medical records to show just how serious these heroic wounds of his actually were!! If he had NOTHING to hide - nothing to lie and spin about then they’d be released.

Kerry said exactly what he wanted to say about the troops and Iraq. His university grades are actually INFERIOR to Bush’s - as were his military intelligence test grades. His snotty snooty arrogant Bostonian accent - which is actually quite vulgarly common compared to my polished standard English accent - fools no one. Kerry is literally a dimwitted elitist arsewipe who targeted two fabulously wealthy women - divorcing the poorer one to marry the vastly richer bereaved widow.

The graceless refusal to apologise clearly stems from a hilariously deep bitterness at losing to the better educated man in 2004. Still at least Kerry used his Bostonian Brahmin ‘intelligence’ to NOT pig out on embittered comfort food after defeat - unlike the obese vainglorious nutter the alBore!!

Kerry needs to apologise NOW!! At least this will haunt the bastard if/when he runs next time … until then lets have loads of fun “swift boating” the pathetic twonk with the truth ‘from his own C grade lips’ about his elitist anti-military attitude!!

Kerry’s response:

“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they’re crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq . It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.

The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.

Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq .”

Realistically, those ideas existed outside my head last night on CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and many other nightly news casts where political ananlyst echoed my exact sentiments.

Realistically, yes Iraq is a mess. Realistically, if we had it to do over again, we would do some things differently as the President has said. Realistically, I think this administration stands a better chance of us seeing a postive outcoming, because realistically the lefts plan is to pull up stakes and abandon our work and sacrifices already made.

Realistically I think if the dems get control next week, they will spend every waking minute trying to bring down Bush and in doing so will sacrifice our security and our economy by being obsessed with hearings and investigations.

Dear CJ @ 9:11, I disagree with your entire argument. You should have written:

“We all know that lower middle-class and poor people are proud to serve their country, honorably lining up at schools and shopping centers for the privilege. We all know that people from lower-middle class and poor families are proud to be the soldiers and marines on the ground in Iraq. We all know that people from lower-middle class and poor families are the heroes and, in rare cases, the honored dead who offer freedom to a long oppressed people. We all know that these honorable people, offering all, ask for nothing more than a steady paycheck, and proudly integrate structure and discipline into their lives. A grateful country would offer these heroes opportunities for higher education that they otherwise might not have access to.”

I don’t agree with how Dubya did it. This isn’t really about whether he supports the war in Iraq or the reasons behind it. This isn’t about being Republican or Democrat or Libertarian or Mexican or white or black or anything else. John Kerry made a statement that has no other way to be taken unless you know what he really meant to say. I haven’t yet heard him say “Oops! I forgot and left out a word, I apologize, this is what I really meant to say.” All his Dem buddies are bending over backwards to try to show what he was really supposed to say. The real problem is that he is ignoring what he actually said and not apologizing for the way it came out. I can understand when a man makes a mistake. Everyone does. A leader admits it, apologizes, learns from it. Yes, I know this can be applied to Dubya, too. I’m not on the Bush/Republican bandwagon.

Here’s what the decider doesn’t want you to think about between now and next Tuesday:

Check your representatives’ IAVA Congressional Rating at www.iavaaction.org.

What does a rating mean? It’s simple. You get a point every time you vote with IAVA (in favor of body armor, vet hospital funding, or better treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury, for instance). If you vote with IAVA 95% of the time, for instance, you get an A. If you vote with IAVA 50% of the time, you fail. We believe that any grade lower than an A is unacceptable.

There is no excuse for a low score. Politicians’ choices in Washington have a real human cost: Troops on the streets of Iraq with inadequate body armor. Veterans waitlisted for treatment at the VA. Military widows facing cuts in their survivor benefits.

This should be a wake-up call for every American who thinks Congress is doing all it can for our troops. I urge you to check your legislators’ scores, and then demand accountability from anyone receiving less than an “A” grade.

It’s not brains that keeps you out of the military - it’s money. Kerry is an anomaly - one of a handful of American millionaires who actually got shot at in combat. The vast majority of the names on the black wall in DC come from poor families, working class families, farm families, and middle class families, back when we had one. You won’t see many Rockefellers, Forbes, Hunts, Waltons, on that wall…

The Armed Services have been advertising and recruiting for decades now about GI Bill benefits and college grants and scholarships. A great many kids join the military instead of flipping burgers or working for Walmart since their parents can’t or won’t help them with college. A lot of intelligent kids with prospects go into the military to try to secure their futures, which says a lot about the sorry state of our economy and culture.

My buddy Jim Earl says Kerry has cost the Dems this election. I hope so, but I ain’t putting a lot of stock in what Jim Earl says. He ain’t been quite right ever since he put his head through the wall of that BBQ joint on his Harley.

Anyway, politics is heavy up here. It ain’t looking good for Joe Bill’s run for the county commission. Joe Bill is only offering 5 bucks per vote, but his opponent is offering 20. You can’t even buy a six-pack with 5 bucks. Jim Earl says it just goes to show there’s too much money in politics these days.

Making this point to an audience of college students was not exactly brilliant thinking, but despite all of his patronizing repulsiveness, his point resonates with a certain audience.

OK, all of you are getting a little far from the point. Kerry said, “If you study hard and 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.” His speech claims he was supposed to say, “If you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get us stuck in Iraq.” The issue is, JOHN KERRY is not the one apologizing for his foot-in-mouth statement. Instead, he continues to lurch along, with everyone else apologizing on his behalf, while he just says “I was slamming the president.” (That’s a paraphrase, sorry I don’t have that one exactly quoted).

I don’t care about what Bush did while he was president. His term is almost over and we can’t re-elect him, so he’s washed up. I don’t care about what Kerry did. He’s a wannabe who got scratched in Veitnam (probably by friendly fire if his attitude was what it is now). I DO care that his direct comment out of his mouth said If you study hard and 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.

If I knew to look up his speech online, and compared it with his actual words, it still doesn’t change the fact that he won’t apologize for what came out of his mouth. Intent doesn’t mean jack unless you follow through with actions. While he intended a slam at G-dub, what he did was slam our troops. Even his own Dem buddies are telling him to apologize now.

Jenny; what was contradictory in the two quotes from Kerry? In the joke he has the word “us” between “getting” and “stuck” clearly referring to someone who got us stuck in Iraq. In the second quote, Kerry’s response to the controversy, he states that it is “crazy” to think he would attack or disparage the troops. Texts of speeches are usually handed out before the speech so that reporters can do preliminary work on their articles. I don’t know that this happened here, but the reporters who covered the speech know.

Getalife; I totally agree with your last sentence. Maliki has no power other than the support of those with militias and us. My point was that Sadr is not Iran’s go-to guy in Iraq.

Why doesn’t he apologize for Guantonomo Bay?

Why doesn’t he apologize to the victims of 9/11 because he has not yet “found” Osama Bin Laden, the REAL instigator behind the terrorists attacks?

Why doesn’t Bush apologize to each and every citizen in the free world, who are now locked in a holy war because a tin soldier, drunk with his own power, (or Jim Beam), called mostly Arab nations as the “Axis of Evil”; then systemically denounces EVERY Islamic with words like: Islamic radicalism, Islamic fascism, Islamic extremism and extremists, Islamic or Islamist terrorism and terrorists, radical Islamists or Islamist and Islamic radicals, etc. I guess he never heard of Timothy McVeigh, or never heard of the over 250 Radical terrorists groups in the world, (Red Army Faction, IRA, etc).

No, Jenny, I’m afraid you’re still confused. Kerry makes a dumb joke about Bush, and you CHOOSE to interpret it as an attack on the troops. (In the vain hope that it will forestall an absolute Reupblican disaster on Tuesday.)

Kerry then points out how lame such an interpretation is—he himself is a veteran, after all—and you point to it as… well, what exactly? Further proof of the Eeeevils of Big, Bad, Spooky Liberalism?

Halloween’s over, kiddo. But the neocon nightmare is just beginning next Tuesday.

I can see why the worst President in history was elected twice.

Do you know his secret plan to merge the three North American countries and end our country as we know it. No border security, just Corporate interests.

They are outscourcing white collar jobs now. I guess it will take two more years of destroying our country to get through the partisan bias.

I agree with my unlike-minded friend, Jbmlaw, that we would all be better served if politicians spoke truthfully all the time instead of hiding behind talking points and non-committal, empty phrases. I largely blame Watergate and the rise of both “gotcha” journalism and 24 hour news channels for watering down our political debate to its basest levels.

As I said last week, I will just be glad for this election cycle to be over. I’ve already voted early.

“President Bush inherited the largest budget surpluses in our country’s history, and in three years he turned that around to the largest budget deficits in our country’s history with reckless tax cuts and huge spending increases.

President Bush keeps saying that the federal budgets will be back in balance in 5 years, but his own budgets show that they won’t even come close to being in balance for as far out as can reasonably be projected.

President Bush’s plan for Social Security reform with private accounts will require the federal government to borrow an additional $2 trillion dollars over the next ten years, it will increase overhead cost, it will add significant risk, and it will result in the need for large cuts in benefits. Bush’s plan is just a scam to rob the trust fund and bleed the system dry.

President Bush campaigned in 2000 on the platform that he did not support nation building in the Middle East, and yet we now find ourselves virtually alone in Iraq trying to re-build that country at a cost of over $350 billion and the loss of over 1,650 American soldiers. Bush lied about the need to go into Iraq, he sent our troops ill-equipped, and now he refuses to get us out.

President Bush is pushing for a new federal department, Faith Based Initiatives, who’s stated purpose is a clear violation of constitutional law that separates church and state. All the new jobs created in America during the past five years have been government jobs.

President Bush has never vetoed, or even threatened vetoes against any of the pork that has been stuffed into legislation that the Republican controlled Congress passed and that he has signed. The cost of his Medicare drug bill was deliberately understated by over $200 billion dollars so that it would have enough votes to pass.

President Bush has been encouraging companies to outsource some of there employees to other countries. These jobs leaving America are not just low wage jobs, but are jobs that cover the spectrum of all skill levels.

President Bush awarded a large government contract, $10 billion dollars, to a foreign based corporation, Accenture, for Homeland Security computers and services. Several American based corporation were passed over for this contract.

President Bush supports the idea of giving amnesty to the 5 million people who are in America illegally. President Reagan gave around 5 million illegal immigrants amnesty.

President Bush is pushing for a new round of free trade deals with dozens of poor countries with CAFTA. The last big free trade deal, NAFTA, has caused our trade deficit to skyrocket.

President Bush responded to the loss of over 2 million manufacturing jobs by trying to get fast-food workers re-classified as manufacturing workers. These manufacturing jobs were high wage jobs that had benefits, but now the two largest employers in the U.S. are Wal-Mart and McDonalds.

President Bush has harmed state’s rights with budget cuts, un-funded mandates, and class actions lawsuit reforms. State’s are being forced to cut their budgets for police, fireman, and social services in response to Bush’s cuts.

President Bush’s energy bill gives huge tax breaks to oil companies at a time with they are experiencing record revenues and profits, and when consumers are paying record high prices. Last year ExxonMobil had revenues of $256 billion and profits of $25 billion. That’s what happens when you elect two oil man from Texas to run your country.”

If it smells like, looks like, and acts like, then you call it what it is; fascism. The rest of the world recognizes it in our government and in the Republican Party, but for some reason most of the American people cannot.

Frankly, I expected better from you, more intellectual honesty than this. But maybe Republican partisanship is too intense to resist right now.

If a stupid remark by Kerry is enough to persuade voters to make wholesale changes in who they’re voting for, then we’re in a lot more trouble than we realize. If you want to reward the Republicans for wasteful spending, creating new entitlements, failing to protect our borders, and a whole long list of things I could cite, then go ahead.

It would take a book to answer all your DNC points you dug up. They are all based on one false premise: President Bush did not “make up” any allegations to convince Congress to vote for war. Members of Congress read the same intelligence reports that the President read and then made decisions.

Bush did not fly planes into the twin towers on 9/11. Terrorists did and Bush has been fighting them ever since and it doesn’t come cheap.

Bush did not cause Katrina, tsunamies or any other natural disasters that were so expensive.

President Bush talks with world leaders every day and they come here to get his advice. To imply that he is a drunkard only makes you look like you a political activist with no ethics.

If you want to adopt any of those characters at Guantanamo, please say so. I am glad they are not running free. One who was released was subsequetnly recaptured fighting against the USA.

You didn’t mention KERRY by name and that is strange. You have a husband in the military and those are the ones Kerry was insulting. Maybe YOU should apologize to your husband since Kerry will not.

NOWHERE in his statement or opening remarks did he mention the President. Usually, when you insult someone, you at least mention them in the insult somwhere. Otherwise, what’s the point, right? I fail to see where he mentions George Dub in there anywhere.

As for apologies, who gives if George does? If George jumps off a bridge, is Kerry going to do it to prove he’s a better man, or is he going to stand back, watch the splat and say “well, gravity works”? So far, all I see is Kerry prepping for a base jump with no `chute.

Andrew Sullivan says it much better than I can: “While the media is obsessed parsing the ad libs of someone on no ballot this fall, something truly ominous has just happened in Iraq. The commander-in-chief has abandoned an American soldier to the tender mercies of a Shiite militia… In a showdown for control of Baghdad, the Iraqi prime minister took orders from Moqtada al-Sadr, and instructed the U.S. military to withdraw from Sadr City. The American forces were trying both to stabilize the city but also to find a missing American serviceman. He is still missing…

The U.S. military does not have a tradition of abandoning its own soldiers to foreign militias, or of taking orders from foreign governments. No commander-in-chief who actually walks the walk, rather than swaggering the swagger, would acquiesce to such a thing. The soldier appears to be of Iraqi descent who is married to an Iraqi woman. Who authorized abandoning him to the enemy? Who is really giving the orders to the U.S. military in Iraq? These are real questions about honor and sacrifice and a war that is now careening out of any control. They are not phony questions drummed up by a partisan media machine to appeal to emotions to maintain power.”

Well, no apologies for one of the king Jackal RATs, John sKerry. No shunning from that arrogant buffoon’s comments by our resident RATs. No shunning from the media. So, who’s doing the shunning? Real Democrats like Harold Ford. Where’s Weasley Clarke? Where’s cun-n-run Burka Murtha? Where’s Dick Turban Durbin? Where’s all the RATs that supposedly really, REALLY “care about the troops?”

The filthy RATs are saying “well Bush should apologize for lying us into war.” First of all, every single US senator (including sKerry who was ON the senate intel committee) that voted for authority had the same information the president had. Anything else is a RAT LIE.

“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.” - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…” - Sen.

sKerry spoke from his cold dark soul. It’s real hard for a lot of RATs to hide their true feelings, which is probably why Pelosiwitch, Scream, Turban Durban, Sandypants Burger, and Dirty Harryland Reid.

What sKerry did in a minute destroyed all hope for the Jackal Party Democrits in getting pure power in Congress back. There are a lot of P!SSED OFF PEOPLE out there right now with just six days to go. Keep opening up that sewer of yours sKerry, you pathetic excuse for a man.

Dusty to answer your comments:

President Bush did not “make up” any allegations to convince Congress to vote for war.

Dubya knew going in that the intelligence was “faulty” he was told this over and over again, yet he chose to use the intelligence anyway. He was told that Iraq had NOT bought any uranium(?) from the african country, yet he chose to have his Sec.

Bush did not fly planes into the twin towers on 9/11.

Osama Bin Laden orchestrated that event. Why is he still free? Why was the war shifted from Afghanistan and moved to Iraq? There was not ONE Iraqi on those planes that crashed, they were mostly Saudis. Why didn’t we invade the Saudi government if we are so hot on the trail of “terrorists?”

Bush did not cause Katrina, tsunamies or any other natural disasters that were so expensive.

Where did I say he did?

President Bush talks with world leaders every day…. To imply that he is a drunkard only makes you look like you a political activist with no ethics.

I don’t have to IMPLY anything. Have you ever READ or LISTENED to some of his comments? He’s either drunk, or he’s suffering from the first stages of Alzheimers.

If you want to adopt any of those characters at Guantanamo, please say so. I am glad they are not running free.

After WWI the world’s leaders sat down to discuss the ethical and moral treatment of prisoners. IF we expect other nations to treat our own POWs ethically, shouldn’t we practice what we preach?

You didn’t mention KERRY by name and that is strange. You have a husband in the military and those are the ones Kerry was insulting.

I didn’t mention Kerry because I’m not quite sure this isn’t some big “much ado about nothing” moment in American History. But as I stated before, Bush has done far worse, stuck by his idiocies and hasn’t apologized, so Kerry is just taking a page out of his book.

Maybe YOU should apologize to your husband since Kerry will not.

I do all the time. I apologize for him having to pay lip service to a tin soldier drunk on power, (or Jack Daniels), who he no longer respects or believes in. I apologize that he was “pressed” back into military service after he had successfully completed his obligation the first time. I apologize that the country he loves so much and is willing to give so much for doesn’t love him enough to see that the emperor’s clothes were gone a long time ago and now standing before us is a petty puppet dictator who basically doesn’t know what the heck is going on.

From Taranto yesterday, relevant to the bizarre posts on the blog today:

The New York Times reports that political polarization is taking a personal toll for many Americans: “People who once feistily shared their convictions about politics now report biting their tongues around—or even completely avoiding—friends and relatives who disagree, trying to avoid fights over the Bush administration and, specifically, the war.” … What’s interesting about the Times piece, as blogger Josh Treviño notes, is that “every person in the piece who actively rejects a friend or family member over politics is a Democrat”—a fact that reporter Anne Kornblut does not specifically note. Treviño observes:

“The American left—which we’ll posit as synonymous with Democrats here—is sincerely angry, and the anger goes beyond reason in a surprising number of cases. The conservative view of politics holds that it does not encompass all spheres of human activity… . There is no sound reason, for example, to reject association with like-minded parents, or friendships with co-workers, or the company of one’s own mother, on the grounds of political disagreements. Yet we see emphatic Democrats doing all these things in Kornblut’s piece. Why? We can only hypothesize, with the caveat that perhaps, if the tables were turned, Republicans and conservatives might behave the same way toward their family and neighbors—even if, in the last comparable period, from January 1993 through January 1995, it doesn’t seem they did.

“A core leftist tenet may be expressed in the old feminist cliché, “the personal is political.” This gets muddied a bit by the left’s predilection for espousing “privacy,” as found in some metaphysical emanation or penumbra of the Constitution; but the net—and discrete—effect of this espousal is not a depoliticizing of the “private” sphere. Precisely the opposite: where “privacy” is invoked, it is toward a definite politicized end, be it the legitimization of arbitrary couplings under the rubric of marriage, or the breaking-down of the social structures necessary for the maintenance of a conservative order. In this context, it becomes extraordinarily difficult to maintain relationships with people with whom one disagrees on political or ideological grounds.”

There is an internal consistency here, but it’s pitiable nonetheless. The spectacle of a grown woman rejecting her own aged mother over their conflicting opinions on the Bush Administration, to take just one anecdote from Kornblut’s piece, is at best an affront to piety borne [sic] of a monumental lack of perspective. To borrow a non-leftist parallel, one is reminded of Ayn Rand’s furious fault-finding with those who dared disagree with her… . But Rand’s group was, and remains, essentially a cult. The Democratic Party is not. Or, I should say, it didn’t used to be. Yet if the Democratic Party—or, more precisely, the Angry Left—is a cult, it is a peculiar sort of cult. It is a cult with no leader, only what we might term an “antileader,” namely George W. Bush. And it is a cult whose adherents imagine that there is a cult on the other side. As we noted in February:

There is a sort of Newton’s Third Law of politics, which was at work during the previous administration as well. People on the left who reviled Bill Clinton’s policies in such areas as trade, welfare and capital punishment nonetheless backed him, and supported him fervently when Congress impeached him.

For most conservatives, Bush is not perfect but he is far better than the alternatives that were on offer in 2000 and 2004. Those on the left who look at the right and see blind loyalty for the most part are actually viewing a reflection of their own blind hate.

Roger Simon makes the case for reviving the old idea that it’s impolite to discuss politics in social settings. We’re not sure we agree; we often enjoy discussing and arguing politics with friends. But it’s a delicate matter, requiring both sensitivity and detachment. If you become angry or demanding when a friend or loved one does not see things your way, there is a good chance you will sour the relationship. If this happens, the personal toll may be heavy; the political payoff is almost certain to be nonexistent.

Debbie Do Right,

You are one sad case. You make it obvious with your comment about a “fictious War on Teror”. That is not even reaonable.

But I will point out a few of your faulty conclusions of little basis before I leave.

The “Yellow Cake” report had little to do with original intelligence reports, except that British intelligence said it was true.

USA Military operates under their own code of justice and you know it. A FEW of our soldiers are even in jail for breaking that code on torture.

I mentioned Katrina and tsunamis because you mentioned how much money had been spent foolishly.

Special Forces will capture Osama but they will not invade the mountains of Pakistan to do it. It takes time but it will happen.

The president is not an orator of note. He is strong,honest and intelligent and that is why he was elected twice. That is fortunate because he has had to face more emergencies than most Presidents. I appreciate his strength.

If you want to undermine the morale of our troops with your depressive and unreliable comments, you can do so. So can Kerry. I don’t think it helps anybody except our enemies.

My apologies, if that was taken as a statement of callousness on my part. I meant that as a statement of “Who cares what mistakes one person makes, does that make it OK for you to make them, too?”

I fought in Desert Storm. I know what my brothers and sisters are involved in now. I want them to come back home to us even as I cheer for them and tell them how much I love and respect them for their being willing to give of themselves and their time to our military so we don’t have to draft unwilling citizens.

Just remember why we are still there, remember that there is more at stake than just US (play on word intended) in the world. After all, we aren’t the ones car bombing our own people’s mosques and shopping areas, or kidnapping free persons, or executing truckloads of our countrymen’s newly sworn police officers. We aren’t hiding in or around religious edifices, or schools, or hospitals so that if someone tries to retaliate for something we have done, the collateral damage is inevitable.

I have to ask. Do you really care about the country or is it all about the failed gop party. Do you continue to vote gop for more of the same, probably worse? Or do you vote for people that can actually govern this country?

I am not a Dem but I know they have governed this country much better than the gop ever will.

You are one sad case. You make it obvious with your comment about a “fictious War on Teror”. That is not even reaonable.

Well, I’m trying to be reasonable. If the hijackers of 9/11 were predominantly SAUDI ARABIAN, their leader, BinLaden is SAUDI ARABIAN, they were financed mostly by the SAUDI ARABIANS, then why are we in Iraq?

The “Yellow Cake” report had little to do with original intelligence reports, except that British intelligence said it was true.

Funny, I’ve searched the british presses, (The London Times,et al), and have YET to see that statement. I guess it was only printed here in America.

USA Military operates under their own code of justice and you know it. A FEW of our soldiers are even in jail for breaking that code on torture.

The military takes their cue from their COMMANDERS, who take their cue from the PENTAGON, who takes their cue from the SEC. OF DEFENSE, who takes his cue from the PRESIDENT. If you reasonably think that some Army privates thought of widespread torture of prisoners all by their little ‘ole selves, then you are sadly mistaken.

I mentioned Katrina and tsunamis because you mentioned how much money had been spent foolishly.

We had a deficit before Katrina. Like maybe 3 years before.

Special Forces will capture Osama but they will not invade the mountains of Pakistan to do it. It takes time but it will happen.

They don’t have ENOUGH TROOPS to search, like how they don’t have ENOUGH TROOPS in Iraq because the Sec. of Defense won’t listen to his Field Commanders. He being the brave decorated soldier that he is, thinks he knows better than the people who are actually out there doing the work.

The president is not an orator of note. He is strong,honest and intelligent and that is why he was elected twice. That is fortunate because he has had to face more emergencies than most Presidents. I appreciate his strength.

As a person, I believe Dubya is a really nice good ole boy; who is liked by everyone he meets. As a President I think he is the biggest failure since Garfield — history will prove this to be true, but unfortunately we are living in dangerous times now.

If you want to undermine the morale of our troops with your depressive and unreliable comments, you can do so.

Truth hurts. If you think soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines can’t read or fathom events for themselves then you are dead wrong. Where do you think people get all of their field information from? Other Soldiers tell us what’s going on and what’s going wrong. The Generals are coming back and telling us what’s going wrong; infantry, MPs, interpreters, etc. ALL are saying, (loudly), This is not working!!! We need to rethink our objective and just as loudly, Dubya has been chanting “Stay The Course”.

Mark In Atl: Thanks for your kind words. My point was WHY are we in Iraq? I supported our invasion of Afghanistan, wholeheartedly, but I just don’t understand why we were ever in Iraq in the first place. Now I know that since we’re there we HAVE to stay. There’s no getting out of this. We opened the door to anarchy and civil war in Iraq and we can’t leave until we’ve closed that door and cleaned up the mess we made around it.

I guess I’m just tiffed because this is gonna last a long time. We are going to run out of volunteer soldiers, then what? We have soldiers already who’ve been to Iraq twice and Afghanistan twice, (remember we’re still there too); what type of people will we have living amongst us who have been in violent urban combat for years and years. What type of psyche will they have?

Will the military involuntarily extend (as they already have), thousands of soldiers? And then what?

Here is what our Neo-patriot Realist wrote on this blog a few months back, comparing blogging to fighting in Iraq. Give it up Realist, you have no right to question anyone’s support of the troops or their patriotism.

*Dear Iraqi Soldier, I am fighting right along side you son. You see, back home, we are fighting a threat just as real as any IED or RPG that you may face. Its a threat to our way of life as we know it. The threat is the undermining of American patriots and servicemen just like you son, and you wont beleive where the threat is coming from! Its coming from the liberal congress that many of us trusted and beleived in when they voted to send troops into Iraq. Thats right, the very ones who voted to send you in are now backing out on you and abandoning you one after another. So my son, we are here fighting for you. Not to mention working hard at our jobs each day and sending our tax dollars to Washington so that you can have the equipment and food and tools you need to win this war. You are doing a great job son, and we appreciate you and your work for this country. Keep doing your part, and we conservatives will keep doing ours on your behalf!!

Warmly, Realist, true american*

Of course Realist also said what he planned to do that night in another post, I wonder what the soldiers in Iraq were doing that night?

The troops for the most part support the mission as it stands in Iraq. They don’t necessarilly like certain aspects of it (who wants to walk around with a virtual target ring on at all times), but they do what is needed. If they don’t like it, they still do what is needed. They can say that they don’t like what is happening if that is the way they feel, as long as they do it with something a bunch of you lack, RESPECT. They aren’t courts martialed if they speak out against something, as long as they approach it with respect and tact. After all, that’s like you telling your boss you don’t like the way he runs his company.

Regardless, the issue here is not do you support the President and his policies, it’s did Kerry show any respect to the Men and Women of our Armed Forces with his gaffe and subsequent refusal to acknowledge it and correct it? The resounding answer…

NO

Van; you totally missed my point. I think there should be military recruiters at football games and hold assemblies. I think it is embarrassing, if true, that rural areas actually do something about the war while Atlanta and burbs put magnets on their cars.

I have a 1-5 scale for supporting the war with 1 being that you will say, if asked, that you support the war in Iraq. A 5 is that you will sign up to go fight or encourage your children to go. A 3 is that you think it is important enough that you are willing to pay for it now rather than sending the bill with interest to our children. I won’t bore you with 2 and 4.

I thought John Kerry should have immediately apologized and retracted his statement. Quickly.

However, he didn’t. What did he do? He decided to go on a rant like Clinton did, thinking that being like Clinton will keep him on the Democrats’ good side. Like Bill Clinton’s rant on Fox News was a correct course of action. Hmmm…

But all it did was keep the silly statement on the front page of the newspapers. And made Kerry’s statement an even bigger powder keg for the Hannity’s and Rushes to harp on. Wow! I mean, that’s exactly what the Democrats needed!

It’s like in every major election there’s this opportunity for the Democrats to do well, just to have someone from their own party to go and tear it all up. It’s classic Democratic political suicide-bombing. It’s hilarious!

Uh, do the Democrats REALLY want to win an election? REALLY? Because I am under an impression that they do not even want the responsibility of actually winning an election and be a majority. They are just comfortable enough to be a minority player in the political spectrum, thank you very much!

If I was a Democrat, I would just shut up and talk about how bad the war in Iraq is. I would talk about the death toll and how Saddam didn’t have anything to do with 9/11. That works! Just get people mad about the war and tell them to vote for me and I’ll straighten it all out.

Don’t offer any solutions, just “I’ll engage the international community and we’ll do it TOGETHER” kind of a speech. And walk away from the podium. Kiss a baby and wave.

But, Noooooo. The Democrats have to say something stupid or do something weird to emphasize how incredibly out of touch and spacey they are.

Realist,

Get down off your soap box. Mark Foley was one of your conservatives, and he has now publicly come out of his decidely limp-wristed closet.

As for attacking Debbie’s family, DON’T GO THERE!!! I don’t necessarilly agree with everything she says, but don’t attaack her Service Spouse unless you want my size 9 combat boot buried in your 3rd point of contact, along with every other current and past vet. She does support the troops, just not the reason for the mission to begin with. She has the right to speak her viewpoint, and she sure as heck has a closer viewpoint than you do. But your ill conceived comment was directed at one of the servicemen you supposedly support. He’s not on this blog, so limit your attacks at least to Debbie, who seems to be doing just fine at defending herself, unless that is where your real problem is…?

“Some of us saw the same thing back in the 60’s with the likes of Hanoi Jane and whats-his-face Kerry. If the county had been behind the military then, things might have turned out differently. We may have been able to bring home some of the 58,000 on the Wall, alive.”

ARE YOU REALLY THAT DUMB?

That war lasted for years and there was no end in sight.

To make a statement like the one above, VAN, you must be desperate to make someone look bad.

The last thing you should want to do is bring up the 60’s, because it only helps out John Kerry and folks like myself. Why do you think Bush tries his best to stay away from a comparison to the 60’s. Trust me, you don’t want to go back there.

Wow, Jim. You really hit a nerve today. I’m sure that your supporters are really enjoying following your lead in getting off topic and finding new, creative ways to insult people.

REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.

This year’s election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public’s money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family.

Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act “with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.” To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.

On the first day of the 104th Congress, the new Republican majority will immediately pass the following major reforms, aimed at restoring the faith and trust of the American people in their government:

FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;

SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;

THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;

FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;

FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;

SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;

SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;

EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

Bush is Awol from his own apology, and expects Kerry to deliver it for him. Just like his absense from his post (and all records of his duty of the absense gap), this is so transparent that I think the Saudis are having a little fun with us.

Let me explain. Bush needs to apologize for allowing unwarranted and unwanted influence to leverage lobby support and unhinge our very constitution especially our precious bill of rights, which gets real close to the sacredness of the whole thing we’re supposed to be doing.

Rush had a great interview with Bush, who is certain to win the 2004 election all over again just as he’s reenacting it.

He even got Kerry to play along. They were waiting for it. They were waiting for it.

The Saudis of course are running things. They must be, who else would have been oblivious enough to allow Kerry to say anything ever again after his dismal performance on stage with Bush in 2004’s Diebold Surprise. (that’s a tuna cassorole Laura cooked up………ew.)

It’s about the oil, and corruption, coupled with the probability curve Bush set in motion when he planted our flag (ceremoniously with Scalia’s help) on the Temple Mount after 911 in a de facto benediction ceremony that actually implied that Scalia was annointing the war. (there was a Palestinian suicide-baby photo that Scalia siezed upon in 2003 and made a pronouncement that used religious incantations to enliven military support for this war. Scalia needs to resign because he mixed religion with the Judicial Branch, which make for two of our three branches being mixed with religion, as our Executive Branch is a born again christian who talks directly with Allah/God or A/G, and here’s a thought. Lets change god’s name to A/G. It really looks cool in cyberspace. There’s a website, it’s www.hello Islam dot bomb you’re dead.

I think we may have just witnessed Bush’s way of telling us that we have suffered a severe defeat, and probably betrayal by the government we allowed the Iraqis to freely elect. We have encrypted their legislation with our underwriting and now there are hundreds of billions of dollars of millitary support threatened with premature birth of a nation. I think it’s over, over there, unless we are willing to scale up the slaughter and go for Total War.

I say we pull back to Kurdistan, retrench there, and start asking for that once infamous global seal of approval, involving the Original Coalition of the Willing to each have a vote in whatever resolution to this war that Bush will accept. Damn it, enough. Lets get out of there now. It’s over.

I demand the resignation of George W Bush effective noon tomorrow. Ditto Cheney. Let’s let the Speaker runs things for a while………..DOH!

The shia superstate changes the entire map. We are not going to be drawing any more borders over there in Iraq, like we done after WW1, when the French insisted that the British Draw the Border with their deflection.

The misery we inflicted on these Shia people is astonishing. They were given no more consideration than our Sioux were at the Little Big Horn.

This is was best foot in mouth statement since “I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” If he were at a concert and decided to jump into the mosh pit, the crowd would part and he’d fall flat on his face! I cannot wait to have Lurch and Al Gore and Hillary going at each other in two years.

So to sum up. Kerry’s an idiot. Bush is a lock to win in ‘04, even though he still hasn’t articulated a mission or an end game that could possibly exist anymore after being forced to cut and run and do a defacto tap dance for this weird bearded Shia guy.

We’ve apparently suffered some incredible but long building betrayal and defeat in Baghdad over that weird bearded Shia guy.

What is his name?

What is he talking about? Shia Islam? Is it anything like it sounds cause if so, I dont want any. We’ve been tweeking Shia noses for a century now, and we must try to calm them down.

It falls upon all Americans now to visit a mosque and shake some hands. Have you hugged a Mullah today?

Jim, there certainly is a belief amongst liberals that only poor uneducated saps defend our freedom. After we freed Iraq, I was visiting recruiters to try and join the Corps and listening to NPR talk about how people were joining the military because the job market was so poor, college was so expensive, etc… I am college educated and had a good job, as did all of the people I encountered at the recruiting stations, but no NPR interviews with those people, only the “victims” of society.

The fact that the “media” portrays themselves as objective turns my stomach. In the future the Commander and Chief may need to consult the nation’s editors to see if they agree with a conflict. If the editors do not agree they will simply print the negative, turn the resolve of the nation against the mission and then quote their own polls to ensure failure. Someone recently said the media only depicts the successes of the enemy and the failures of the US, so true.
