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.”
LOL! Me, too...damn on having to run to town and a double, double damn on missing the fun!
You have got that ball rolling so on this, though, that I think we will still have fun coming for several more days on this, maybe, maybe!!! Woohoo!
Anyone willing to work hard at anything will be successful. You don't need an education or a military career to make in in America. There are thousands of people every day who work hard and become millionaires without any higher education. Then again there are a lot of people who think some stupid diploma is by itself a ticket to success. Those people will never succeed at anything.
Thanks for the ping!

Go to Fox News Channel --- POTUS to respond soon.
I think it's finally happened. Kerry has finally, at last, lost his mind.
“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.
You mean like a certain veteran in front of a Senate Committee hearing in '72? "Senator"???
W up on FNC now!!! Perry Georgia--I was there. Please be quiet, John Gibson!!!
PMSNBC has this live without interruptions.
> I think it's finally happened. Kerry has finally, at last, lost his mind.
Seems to happen quite often when libs who imagine themselves as the smartest people on the planet get their clocks cleaned by stoopid Republicans. See: Al Gore.
Kerry's nothing but a backbiting scumbag.
But who didn't already know that.
Back in 1863 or so, Lincoln would have had him locked up as a traitor.
It's about time we called these treasonous bastards exactly what they are.
"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."
Given the fact that probably 90% of those 140,000 voted for Bush (or would have, had they been old enough) -- yes, I *can* believe that you'd insult them, rich boy...
And in doing so, you're just doing what comes naturally for limousine liberals.
Live thread is over here:

W is on a roll in Perry right Now!
You mean like the veteran that testified before congress in 1971 about alleged atrocities that he and other soldiers had committed against the Vietnamese people rather than criticizing the democrat presidents (JFK and LBJ) that got us stuck there? Seems to me that there is a precedent here Jeanne.
John just be a man and admit you made a foolish statement. Apologize and move on.
