When Nancy Pelosi read her horoscope this morning, it said, "Kaboom".

The only one happy about Kerry's stupid remarks bashing the military in Iraq is HRC. The more Kerry shoots himself in the foot the easier campaign she will have.

If Hillary has any brains whatsoever, she didn't fear Kerry. Obama is the greater threat - particularly given the media's love affair with him.

“Senator Kerry botched his remarks – as he has in the past,” said James Carville, campaign manager for Bill Clinton in the 1990s. “But Mr Bush has botched the war in Iraq.”

Sorry james the "Bush botched the war" spin just won't attach itself to these disgusting and demeaning remarks
which weren't "botched" in any way, but rather were meant
to demean volunteers of our Armed Forces while they are in
harm's way. Kerry unfortunately doesn't know enough to be
ashamed to utter them. This is the second time he's slandered our troops and that is twice too many as it is.
The people of his state should demand his resignation.

Given the chance to apologize for his stupid remark, Kerry took the low road once again. His elitist thinking seeps through, he can't help it. But then, what do you expect from the Kite surfing, botoxed Senator from Mass who was a traitor in Vietnam.

Everyone has friends and relatives in the service

You'd be surprised. The military is now so small, relative to the population, that is no longer true, not like it once was. It's particularly not true in Democrat strongholds, be they the Limousine Liberals or the eastern inner city strongholds.

New Democratic Network, a centrist group in Washington.

Sure it is. Probably just to the right of Molotov.

It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country

Guys like Representative Sam Johnson (my rep when I lived in his district for the first 12 years I lived in Texas) , Col. Bud Day, and even that RINO McCain, who in this case did the right thing by immediately demanding an apology for the troops? Yeh they never did anything to serve, but they've certainly criticized former Lt. Kerry.

In *this* war that is. He slandered all the troops, including the 58,000 who didn't come home, who served in and around Vietnam as well.

Forget the Democrat strong holds. They are a lost cause. I'm talking about the red states. The election is about who will win in the red states.

Heinz-Kerry supposedly joked about shooting the President (which is not beyond the realm of possibility given that there are allegations he may have shot an unarmed 12-year old boy in the back in Vietnam) and his pals in the drive-bys ran cover for him. No doubt they'll do the same for this. All the more reason to drag 10 more people with you to the polls on Tuesday.

McCain actually started to make a good point about this (I think Alan or Sean started to talk over him): even if Lurch had the President in mind when he made his "joke", the message is still the same, "Only dummies get 'stuck' in Iraq". That having been said, Limbaugh is right. By tomorrow the MSM will have found half a dozen Iraq and Afghanistan "veterans" who will say that they bought Kerry's spin, and are in no wise offended. Maybe they'll be the "dummies" he's talking about.
