Kerry: Iraq Election No Big Deal
NewsMax.com ^ | 1/30/05 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 01/30/2005 9:31:32 AM PST by kattracks

A bitter-sounding Sen. John Kerry dismissed the historic Iraqi election on Sunday, warning Americans not to "overhype" the watershed event.

"No one in the United States should try to overhype this election," Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press." The failed presidential candidate questioned the historic referendum's legitimacy, saying, "It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote."

Kerry also pooh-poohed reports of a surprisingly high 72 percent turnout by Iraqi voters, insisting instead that the election has "gone as expected."

Asked if he thought Iraq was now less of a terrorist threat, Kerry at first said, "No, it's more. And, in fact, I believe the world is less safe today than it was two and a half years ago."

But he changed his answer moments later, after "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert pressed him on the bizarre claim.

"I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone, and I've said that a hundred times," he insisted.

And what was Meet The Press thinking? On one of the most historic days in the history of democracy when the whole world is looking to a more hopeful future, they wag in a sorry old Dem loser for the whole hour.

The MSM seems determined to go down with that liberal ship. It's just pathetic.

Like the founding fathers, who overhyped our revolution.

"I hope that al-Jazeera and other Arab media outlets don't pick up this diatribe of Kerry's. What a great way it would be to demoralize the Iraqis and make the US look stupid to the Arab world." ~ sassbox

Notice how the seditionists / traitors all seem to choose the DemocRAT Party as their home?

RUSH: I am certain that Al-Jazeera got the tape. What I don't know is how many times Al-Jazeera has aired the tape. Yesterday a senator from the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen, pulled an Osama bin Laden: A last-minute attempt to manipulate a national election. Only this was worse than what Osama bin Laden did because this effort by this United States senator not only was an attempt to manipulate a national election, it was an attempt to sabotage the policy of his own country.

He personifies this segment from Monty Python:

"In the Commons there was another day of heated debate on the third reading of the Trade Practices Bill. Mr Roland Penrose, the Under-Secretary for making deep growling noises grrr, launched a bitter personal attack on the ex-Minister for delving deep into a black satin bag and producing a tube of Euthymol toothpaste."

What a irrevelant waste this guy has already become. Even Gore wasn't marginalized this completely.

FINALLY someone who has the guts to bring this up on main stream media.

B.S.! What guts? It 2 months after the election!!

Russert isn't stupid, he's just part of the MSM trying to make himself appear unbiased!

He is a loser and irrelevant just as the rest of them are. Remember this is the same guy that wouldn't say boo about the allegation of Clinton raping Juanita Brodrick. And from one of his OWN associates, Lisa Meyers.

This day is one of the biggest triumphs in history and Russert decides to cover a LOSER?

Please note my new tagline:

"John ('Traitor John') Kerry - Still Shilling For Those Who Wish America Ill!"

I'll keep working on it until it really captures the sleazy, pompous, treasonous, lying-scumbag, neocommunist, dishonest, mendacious, lazy, anti-America nature of the jerk!

What Kerry & Kennedy & Dean are saying is exactly what the center of the Democratic now believes.

Our prayers are being answered right before our eyes!!! We can only hope they stay on their present course accelerating themselves into political oblivion.

I started to wonder about something.
If terrorists were here in the USA in strength and threatening to kill anyone who dared to vote, who would stay away from the polls in the largest numbers – the effete sophisticated blue state city slickers or the red state good ole’ boy rednecks?

I have no use for Main Stream Media, left or right.

But I'll give Russest credit.

He asked a question that Brit Hume, Hannity, Rush etc refused to bring up again.

Did not KetchUp-Kerry commit to Russert, on today's program, that he would sign the SF-180 form to allow his complete record to be released?

Thought I heard that ... maybe not.
