Best Kerry quotes ever
Hannity Board ^ | Oct 5, 2004 | Bob Hyneman

Posted on 10/05/2004 7:40:58 AM PDT by Bob Hyneman

The first two of these were posted on Drudge the other day. The third, appeared on an official Bush/Cheney BLOG. For reasons I cannot understand although Rep peter King D-NY has a video of the third quote it has not appeared as a tv ad.

Quote: '[Saddam Hussein] cannot be permitted to go unobserved and unimpeded toward his horrific objective of amassing a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. This is not a matter about which there should be any debate whatsoever in the Security Council, or, certainly, in this Nation." (Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 11/9/97, pp. S12254 -S12255)

Quote: "[W]hile we should always seek to take significant international actions on a multilateral rather than a unilateral basis whenever that is possible, if in the final analysis we face what we truly believe to be a grave threat to the well-being of our Nation or the entire world and it cannot be removed peacefully, we must have the courage to do what we believe is right and wise." (Sen. John Kerry, Congressional Record, 11/9/97, pp. S12254 -S12255)

Quote: "We know we can't count on the French. We know we can't count on the Russians . . . We know that Iraq is a danger to the United States, and we reserve the right to take pre-emptive action whenever we feel it's in our national interest." -John Kerry on CNN's Crossfire 1997

SK: "Global Test, without a doubt.[ed. note: extremely fast response/before question finished!] Defending America is much too important to be left up to Americans."

"Everybody told me, 'God, if you're coming to Canonsburg, you've got to find time to go to Toy's, and he'll take care of you. I understand it's my kind of place, because you don't have to - you know, when they give you the menu, I'm always struggling: Ah, what do you want? He just gives you what he's got, right? And you don't have to worry, it's whatever he's cooked up that day. And I think that's the way it ought to work, for confused people like me who can't make up our minds."

-John Kerry

I hope.
It is one thing to tag Kerry as a flip-flopper, a person who has no core. Charges such as "flip-flopper" or "liar" garner few votes because, American believe that all polticians are lairs and flip-floppers. Even when they stick, they do not "close the loop."

I believe THESE quotes go a step farther.
They do "close the loop" because,
these quotes IMO show that John Kerry is NOT ONLY a flip-flopper/liar, but rather that John Kerry defines American National Security interests ONE WAY and he is willing to SELL OUT America's interests (as defined by him) in order to reach the Whitehorse.

While I don't recommend the ads make this next point,
selling-out American National Security to gain higher office is a HANGING offense. That is precisely what Benedict Arnold did.

Yes, Peter King is a republican.
I apologize.

The "D" and the "R" are next to each other on the keyboard.

Is there some way I can edit the post?

Something similar to - I crawl on my belly with my trusty double barrel 12 gauge shotgun deer hunting. Play the wind you know? That's hunting.

Great, now you've made me laugh with coffee in my mouth and I've got to clean French Roast off the monitor and out of the keyboard.
