KERRY CLAIMS HE'S "NEVER, EVER" USED WORD "LYING" IN REFERENCE TO PRESIDENT BUSH ON IRAQ.
JIM LEHRER: "New question, Senator Kerry. Two minutes. You've repeatedly accused President Bush, not here tonight but elsewhere before, of not telling the truth about Iraq. Essentially, of lying to the American people about Iraq. Give us some examples of what you consider to be his not telling the truth."
SEN. KERRY: "Well, I've never, ever used the harshest word as you just did." (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04)
BUT IN DECEMBER 2003, KERRY TOLD NEW HAMPSHIRE EDITORIAL BOARD BUSH "LIED" ABOUT REASON FOR GOING TO WAR IN IRAQ. "Kerry also told a New Hampshire newspaper editorial board Friday that Bush had 'lied' about his reasons for going to war in Iraq, a word Kerry has been reluctant to use publicly for months. Yesterday he said he did not plan to use the word again." (Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Lowers N.H. Expectations Behind In Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot In 'Top Two,'" The Boston Globe, 12/8/03)
AND IN SEPTEMBER 2003, KERRY SAID BUSH ADMINISTRATION "LIED" AND "MISLED." "This administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. The president promised to the people and the Congress that he would build an international coalition, respect the United Nations' process and only go to war as a last resort. I will tell you that from my war fighting experience, I believe there is a test for a president as to how you go to war. And that test is whether or not you can look in the eyes of parents and say to them, 'I did everything possible to avoid the loss of your son and daughter, but we had no other choice in order to protect the security of our nation,' and I know this president fails that test in Iraq." (Sen. John Kerry, Campaign Event, Claremont, NH, 9/20/03)
John F. Kerry: Presidential timber!?!
Well..I'll get back to you on that one. I'll take it up with the UN.
"Oh, because I can't spell"
But you can THINK! Good post!
Thanks for the ping, TGYC!
Got it... (as I wink)
Thanks
Right-
thanks for the correction
But if Kerry lies he does not THINK he is lying, therefore he is not lying, in the reasoning of the modern liberal.
Well said!
Off topic, but your post reminded me of a question I had. Is Krauthhammer disabled?
I don't know he always is sitting... but he is always spot on.... he has the pulse of 85% of the nation, and knows exactly how liberals will try to spin and how situations will play out.
I do like and respect his opinion.
One day I noticed he had an "odd" (for lack of a better word) posture. I started watching and noticed I did not see much upper body movement.
I ask only because I admire those who deal with whatever life may throw at them. In this day of victimhood, dealing with life sometimes becomes the exception rather than the expectation.
