Iowa Candidate Asks Kerry to Cancel Campaign Visit
12 WPRI Eyewitness News (Fox - Providence ^ | October 31, 2006 | Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa A Democratic Congressional candidate from Iowa is canceling a campaign event later this week with Senator John Kerry.

Brucy Braley says Kerry's recent comments about the Iraq war were inappropriate. Braley's decision to distance himself from Kerry came as a furor grew from comments Kerry made about the Iraq War during a campaign stop in California on Monday.

If Webb had the balls to criticize Kerry for his comments, I might not even mind that much if he beat Allen. Imagine it. The Left's newest poster boy insulting the Left's old poster boy.

Kerry doesn't mind because candidate Webb (for Senate in VA) still worships the ground on which Kerry walks.

Bothced Joke or not, he owes an apology and resignation.

Gosh, if it was "botched", what did he mean to say?

We need a standard, "Throw Kerry from the Train" graphic to post as we watch his political career implode...

Brucy Braley says Kerry's recent comments about the Iraq war were inappropriate........

Let's get this straight: Kerry did NOT make "comments" about "the war".

Kerry was making comments about education and how important education was. At the end, he threw in the snide remark that young people should get educated or else risk being "stuck in Iraq".

Kerry did not make a "botched joke" about Bush as Bush was nowhere mentioned in his comments about education. Kerry did not make comments about the war and why he is for or against it.

Kerry made an elitist snide remark about how America's volunteer Armed Forces are "in Iraq" because they are too uneducated to be somewhere else. Kerry slandered the American soldier, again, and he is once again too much of a coward to take responsibility for his own words.

Yes, but just HOW did he implant the Rove Stupid Remark Generating Microchip inside Lurch? Maybe concealed in one of those gin-soaked raisins, hehe;)

I understand the microchip was hidden inside a big basket of rice that Kerry blew up with a grenade in some far south-eastern country way back when... I believe it the transmitter is lodged right next to Kerry's brain pan - in his gluteus maximus!

I'll be the chip uses the implanted rice kernels as a natural power source, too!!!! Rove is SOOOOOOO magnificent, in his own way...

No, Kerry said they mimicked Jengis Kahn.

No, no, no....Kerry was actually mocking CHAKA Khan. Stop distorting his words if you haven't danced to her music, you doughy stuffed suit right wing nutjob. :)

O'Reilly has done this crap before, such as when he worked to try to undermine the Swifties and defend Kerry in the 2004 campaign. He thinks if he defends John "Vichy" Kerry against legitimate criticism it will make him (O'Reilly) seem more independent-minded. What a pantload.....

As I posted earlier... Comrade Kuby (of Curtis & Kuby on WABC Radio) defended Lurch by reading his "real" speech, which was written by aides and not what was used, and how he just botched the joke part and then Kuby did his usual ranting about how Bush sent our kids off to die, which in his opinion is the real issue.

Karl Rove does it again!

That is such a funny picture. Who is the one responsible for it?

I'm sure Rove, the magnificent bastard, would love a framed copy!

"I have a funny feeling that the ranks of the sit-at-homes have shrunk in the last 24 hours. It was a vile slap to the face of a lot of military men and women and their families - a lot of conservatives to PO."

Absolutely. If this doesn't wake them up as to what kind of people could be in charge if they don't vote, nothing will!

Also, if they want Constructionalist judges, they better make sure the GOP keeps the Senate.

Kerry is an utter idiot. And the left wants to keep beating the "W is stupid" drum. Whatever.

"And after Kerry's history of bashing our troops, Bill O'Rielly said tonight that he didn't think Kerry was actually bashing the troops. What an absolute moron!"

Both Kerry and O'Reilly are morons.
