Bush to respond to Kerry @5PM EST.

NO, your post didn't need a "Sarc" tag.
You need to rethink your initial remarks around this basic fact (above). Yes, Kerry's remark could be interpreted as a hit on Bush. But Kerry and his team are astute enough to know it could be interpeted as a hit on the troops. I suggest his blow up at today's press conference today shows he/they just don't care how it's been taken. They want it both ways.
But with Kerry, you have to worry about his head being in the way.
"But there is something ominously wrong with a democratic nation that protects its affluent youth from harm, and from service, while putting disadvantaged young people into a meat grinder overseas. There is something disturbing about a nation that beats the drum of patriotism but lets its most privileged young people believe that military service is for losers." - Gary Chapman, REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR Monday, November 07, 2005
Don't tell us that the left hasn't been immersed in this thinking for YEARS.
Yes. I'm cross-posting this all over the place...but there ya go.
"The words are pretty plain."
Yes..the words are pretty plain!! Kerry once again shows his utter distain for our troops and trys to spin it off on the people that notice it!!
Question..did Boehner say on Gibson's show that the GOP would "beat Kerry like a dead horse with his comments until he apologized to the troops?" I was at the door with the trick-or-treaters and thought I heard him say that..Nice to have a FIGHTING MAJORITY LEADER...best line I've heard since Dick Armey's "Barney Fag"
ROFL!!! double. What you've written is so true. Maybe Kerry is in the wrong line of profession.
ROFL. You're killing me...
I heard President Bush's response LIVE and IN PERSON!!!! IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!!! The whole speech was! I was down in front, not 20 feet from the podium. (to give you an idea of how close I was, the AP photos on the wire look about the same as mine... they were taken right in front of me).
As he finished up the speech and was shaking hands and signing autographs, a lady a few down from me yelled "We love you, Mr. President!" and he looked right at her and pointed and said, "I'm coming down there!" We all got excited. As he came down the line, he shook lots of hands, including mine, and then when he got to her, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She was beside herself for the next few minutes!
God bless this wonderful man!!!! I'm so glad he's our President!
As he was graduating from Yale, John Kerry volunteered to serve in Vietnam, because, as he later said, "it was the right thing to do." He believed that “to whom much is given, much is required.” And he felt he had an obligation to give something back to his country.
Sorry, I can't take Kerry at his word. Evidently this belief isn't seared into his memory or he would know that the men and women who serve in the all-volunteer armed forces are patriots, and not uneducated dupes.
Kerry's words are revealing (once again). Many a truth is said in jest, and the truth is that Kerry has no respect for the military beyond his own puffed-up service. Had he been elected, his presidency would have been worse that anyone could have imagined.

"Watching this speech now, live, and a part of me wants to weep.
Where and why has this guy been hiding for so long?"
I apologize (missed this post earlier, but it deserves a response)
Bush has not been hiding! He has been fighting the people that want to kill all of our children!
THE MEDIA HAS BEEN HIDING WHAT THE ENEMY SAYS...THE MEDIA HIDES THE GOOD WORKS THAT OUR SOLDIERS DO...THE MEDIA HIDES ALL OF OUR VICTORIES.....THE MEDIA HIDES ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS FILTH...THE MEDIA HIDES THE TRUE AMERICA...THE HEROES..THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE FOR ALL OF HUMANITY!!
IT TRULY MAKES MY HEART BIG AND SORE!!
They will.
And I hope EVERYONE ON GOD'S GREEEN EARTH blames J.F. Kerry for the entire thing.
Democrats eat everyone and anyone. They will.
envy
I agree..see my post 1274!
No, he didn't mention a horse. Yes, he said they will beat Kerry to death with his remarks until he apologizes for them.
Terrific.
Hahahahaha! I love it. Thanks, MadIvan!
