Why is it always so easy for Republicans to fall for Democratic spin? I guess some of you have forgotten the constant attacks on our President? Then I read that a plain-clothed cop gets kicked in the head by protesters, and all we can do is complain that some people might call us mean-spirited?
(give me some room, moderators)
When did we become such pussies? Screw them.
We know that all John Kerry required after they pulled rice from his arm and ass was a band-aid, so what is the problem? Reminding the world that John Kerry is a lying phony SOB who would take a Purple Heart for a self-inflicted brain fart, is PATROTIC.
This is our week to set the tone for victory in November. We should be laying down the gauntlet and not backing down because some things might hurt Democrat feelings. It hurts, because it reminds them that their candidate is a fraud.
Nobody is mocking veterans who honorably served this country by wearing a purple owie. When someone makes that suggestion, tell them to put some ice on that. I know if my union was not so screwed up, there would be a purple owie on my head tonight, and I would be passing them out to passengers at the door.
Toughen up.
Bravo Zulu!
Well, I enjoyed it!
amen
Making fun of people in public is not good politics.
I understand what you are saying, but, this campaign is a chess match and that was not the wisest move to make. A tit for tat move, ok, it was wonderful. But the negatives far outway the positives in the political arena game. I, personally , am focused on the final move in November. This little stunt may have a short term 'gotcha' appeal , but will contribute nothing to the final prize.
disagree...listen to yourself..Dems are talking about phoney PHs..that's NOT good for Kerry..anyways you slice it..
Agreed. The Band Aids poke fun at Kerry who earned three PHs without spending a day in the hospital. There is no after action report or causalty report for the first PH. The Dems are spinning it so that the focus is shifted to all PH veterans, when in fact, it is directed at Kerry.
Sure doesn't seem to harm the Democrats with their "Bush is Hitler" ads via MoveOn.org and the Fahrenheit 9/11 "documentary" (sic) by Michael Moore. In all of these, they declare Bush as nothing less than a mentally retarded chimp.
Yet when we make light of the fact that Kerry's Purple Hearts were "earned" by the slightest of injuries that were treated with adhesive bandages, we're the bad guys?
Give me a frickin' break. I had worse wounds in three weeks of surgery than Kerry got through his entire 4 months in Vietnam.
Exactly!!! It's GREAT politics.....
You could be right. Just remeber the MSM is our enemy. And perception is reality. I was wrong about the Swifties, I could be wrong about this. Good to examine all sides, though.
Rockin'! I agree.
I think when the Dems complain about something so silly it only shows how concerned they really are. This is trivial, so are the Dems.
I agree with you.
LOL ummm....remind me to never get on your bad side!
Then I guess bush should make flip flopping jokes about john kerry then....
Making fun of Democrats is easy to do . I will wear MY OWN HOMEMADE purple heart bandaid on the first day of school TOMORROW. It is only fitting as I am surrounded by IDIOTS who teach with me ..
