Let me cross my fingers and say a prayer here. Because right before this thread popped up I saw the announcement on the Bush statement in response to John Kerry come across the TV monitor.
I had been thinking, and I'm not making this up, that what JFK said is WORTH a response from no less than the President of the United States.
A U.S. Senator should not have said what Kerry said and I'll tell you what folks. I don't think it's out of bounds to demand that this man resign from the congress of the United States.
Damn right the pubbies should be all over this. Kerry said it, he's made lame and ineffective attempts to deny it. If the Dems think their party can withstand the heat from this in honor of the rabid left, they just better think again.
There's children of Dem parents that are soldiers, there's children of Independent parents that are soldiers, there's children of illegal alien parents that are soldiers for God's sake! This just ain't gonna fly.
Bush has an obligation to apologize to our military for the statements of a U.S. Senator who publicly mocked and humiliated them. Them PLUS their parents who worry every day for their military children for fear they will return home in a coffin.
I will never get over this. And I truly believe this is a drop dead killer for the Dem party.
Let the pubbies come out hollering. Soon enough the Dems will HAVE to follow. There's nothing right about what Kerry said, nothing at all.
I suspect that will be the gist of his statement. That while Kerry won't apologize to the troops, Bush will do so on behalf of every American who supports them and honors their patriotism. Sadly they defend even those who would demean their intelligence in search of a cheap political score.
Well said, I totally agree.
According to Kerry, Cindy Sheehan's son was a stupid uneducated moron.
I hope you are right. Everytime I think Kerry can't get anymore offensive, he does. I hope others, including Dems who support the military, get just as offended and realize what the Dems are up to and what it would mean for the military and for the country if they win the election.
Pollster Frank Luntz on H&C tonight agrees with you and said this will mobilize the pubbie base as no other. The fact that Reid/Pelosi and other party leaders haven't come out to denounce it may have the opposite affect with the dem base. I doubt they're buying that the statement was a 'poor joke' from a man who was their nominee in 2004. Never thought our October surprise would come from a dem.
