"I wish some one would explain to me how his comments related directly to the President."
They don't. Only the more tortured logic could get someone to that conclusion. Kerry's academic record is worse than is Bush's. President Bush went on to get a MBA from Harvard, so it would be completely illogical for him to make such a comment in reference to President Bush. Additionally, President Bush's personal economic success came through his own efforts, while John Kerry married his money.
I do not reply to spin.

W kicked ass yesterday in Georgia. I love when he is pissed!
QFE. Every real Vietnam combat vet in Infantry and Marine units depises the lies that Kerry told.

They also believe that Chappaquiddick was taken out of context and misconstrued.

Note on Poll Results
"I'm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy, who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes, standing up and trying to make other people the butt of those mistakes."
"It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks who've never worn the uniform of our country are willing to lie about those who did."
What he means:
"I'm sick and tired of a bunch of despicable Republicans who will not debate real policy for as long as I want them to, but instead, take real action, who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes."
"It disgusts me that a bunch of these Republican hacks aren't hypocrites like the guys from the VVAW in the 70's who've who had never worn the uniform of our country are but were willing to lie about those who did."
This is a very strange poll - When I voted there were just over 65,000 total votes with the following results:
56% Deliberate Insult
35% Botched Joke
9% Undecided
When I last checked it (about 4 minutes later), total votes were at 66,846 but the percentages were completely unchanged. I did see a note that said, "Poll results are not reflected in real time", but I would expect the percentages to change according to the votes. Am I confused?
A deliberate insult 58%
A botched joke 34%
I'm not sure 9%
Total Votes: 140,111
Done and passed on...
What ARE you talking about? I don't believe I have replied to or pinged you. Perhaps you are mistaking me for someone else?
I see the problem now. I made a misread, have already aplogized to the sensible person who pointed it out and now you jump on me.
Well, read my many posts before you jump, okay?
I'm sorry I thought the poll numbers were the reverse of what they are. That's what caused the mistake, not any intent to spin.
I think he was intending to slam Pres. Bush as stuck in Iraq because he wasn't very bright. However it's not what he said, and he is just too arrogant and egotistical to say, "I didn't intend to insult the troops, and I'm sorry".
If this is an apology- I accept.
