This is an email I received from John Kerry today, in response to my email yesterday asking for his resignation.
"Thank you very much for your comments. As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop.
This is the finest military that we’ve ever had. I have fought a lifetime on behalf of veterans. We have the finest young men and women serving us in the United States military that we’ve ever had, and I’m proud of that. As a combat veteran, I know the dedication, integrity, and commitment of American troops. I’ve lived it. Had George Bush and Dick Cheney lived it one minute of their comfortable lives in combat they would never have sent American troops to war without body armor or without a plan to win the peace and they wouldn’t be exploiting our troops today.
The White House’s attempt to distort my true statement is a remarkable testament to their failure in making America safe. It is a stunning statement about their willingness to reduce anything in America to raw politics. It is textbook Republican campaign tactic. Try to change the topic; try to make someone else the issue; not the policy, not their responsibility.
I apologize to no one for my criticism of the President and of his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the President. It's their willingness to distort, their willingness to mislead Americans, their willingness to exploit the troops, as they have so many times at backdrops, at so many speeches at which they have not told the American people the truth. It’s George Bush’s broken policy that kills and maims our heroes in Iraq every single day. His pathetic attempt to distort a botched joke about President Bush is a shameful effort to distract from a botched war.
President Bush owes an apology to our troops and to their families for mistake after mistake in Iraq. George Bush didn’t do his homework when he ran from sound intelligence about Iraq. Dick Cheney didn’t learn from the lessons of the Gulf War when he forgot his own advice not to get bogged down in Iraq. George Bush didn’t do his homework when he ignored General Shinseki’s advice to go to war with enough troops to maintain order. This entire administration didn’t learn anything about telling the truth; otherwise they would have leveled with the American people that we are stuck in a civil war in Iraq today."
This finishes him as a presidentail candidate. Thank God.
Kind of like you're doing right now, John?
What a man!
KERRY for PRESIDENT in 08
Ain't he the guy that while skiing, fell down when he ran into his secret service agent and then called his secret service agent a "stupid son-of-a-bitch". Blaming the incident on the secret service agent whom I sure had other things he wanted to do than watch the "Poodle" ski that day.
It's scary to think he helped Hillary by ruining his chances at '08.
The one in the same!
And this is the reason why we must keep Congressional Majorities:

LGF is also saying during his failed 72 congressional run, he said an all volunteer army would be terrible and full of violent brutes
"I have fought a lifetime on behalf of veterans."
That lying sack of...
From your mouth to God's ears.
Be like Kerry. Don't apologize to anyone. /s off
Listing all the weapon systems that Senator Kerry tried his best to shut down sounds like an auctioneer selling off our national security but Americans need to know the facts.
The B-1 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, dropped 40 percent of the bombs in the first six months of Operation Enduring Freedom.
The B-2 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered air strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hussein\\\'s command post in Iraq.
The F-14A Tomcats, that Senator Kerry opposed, shot down Khadifi\\\'s Libyan MIGs over the Gulf of Sidra. The modernized F-14D, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered missile strikes against Tora Bora.
The Apache helicopter, that Senator Kerry opposed, took out those Republican Guard tanks in Kuwait in the Gulf War. The F-15 Eagles, that Senator Kerry opposed, flew cover over our Nation\\\'s Capital and this very city after 9/11.
I could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein\\\'s scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident missile; against, against, against.
This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces?
U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?
Zell Miller - September 1, 2004
Can you see him relaxing, with his feet up, dictaing this?
"And we have the finest military, blah, blah, blah..."
Kerry's political career is toast. Spread some Grey Poupon on it and say buh-bye....
Apologize to no one...
PS. He still has that goofy hair cut too.
I thought he already took care of that. And the Hildebeast has to be smiling about that.
