Washington – Senator John Kerry issued the following statement in response to White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, assorted right wing nut-jobs, and right wing talk show hosts desperately distorting Kerry’s comments about President Bush to divert attention from their disastrous record:
“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they're crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.
I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.
The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.
Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”

Someone forgot to tell him about McCain's press release-LOL!
Come on. This is a joke, right? You made this up.
Oh come on. This must be a joke. He can't have really said this.
Kerry's loose lips sink Dem ship.
"Blah blah blah...Dem talking point...blah blah blah..."
Hey Kerry, where's your DOD-180 that you promised to "release".
He has the hat and a couple of scars on his a$$
What a sorry excuse Kerry is for a United States Senator.
He defames our troops and then tries to blame his words on someone else.
I think Terrrayyyzza needs to keep her studboy away from the gin-soaked raisins.....
LOL! Obviously Kerry's a "floater".
"It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have."
Evidently Senator Kerry has forgotten that one of the "Republican Hacks" criticizing him wore the uniform, is decorated, was tortured for several years in Vietnam and is now the Senator known as John McCain.
What a fool.
There ain't no spinning this...and swirling in the bowl doesn't count!
Is this before he said he said it or after he said he said it? Just keep your botox mouth shut and you wont have to worry .
Soooo, he was honoring our troops by telling kids that if they don't get good grades, they'll get stuck in Iraq?
That wasn't a compliment before it was a compliment?
And now, let us observe......
No, it's absolutely 100% real, on Lurch's own web site.
Read it and weep - for our country.
