Not only was Kerry's comments an insult to our military and their families, it was also a huge dig (unreported) at anyone who decides to forego college and enter the workplace out of high school. In effect, "Don't go to college, and your stupid." Doesn't look like the Democrat 2004 standard-bearer is working hard for the "working man," does it?
Sounds a bit elitist, doesn't it? Every Dem candidate should be asked to tell Kerry to apologize not only to soldiers, but to every blue-collor worker in America

Last night I thought Kerry meant to diss Bush and he made a Freudian slip and revealed what he subconsciously thought of the troops.
Today I think Kerry meant to imply that Bush is endangering the lives of students who don't do well in school.
I can hear them now... "We would'a won in 2006 if it weren't for that moron John Kerry... We would'a!... We would'a!... We would'a!"
(Time to come home now, Trelayne...)
Kerry has canceled all campaign appearances for today!
Where in that "joke" is the jab at the President?
Pray for W and Our Troops
Would you have Kerry come and campaign for you, if you were a Donk?
LOL! Literally. :)
It took the military almost 20 years to recover from Vietnam. If the Dem defeatists have their way and we cut and run, how many Americans will volunteer for the military in the future? If you can't support the mission, you can't support the troops.
I believe that all along he has looked with disdain at the military (even while he was enlisted). What happens then, is that he forgets sometimes that he is supposed to be a concerned vet and he lets his true disdain and contempt slip out. When that happens he has to remind himself to put on his veteran persona and go on the offensive, acting indignant.
What he doesn't understand is that only those idiots who have imbibed of the liberal cool-aid will fall for it. The rest of us see it for what it is.
Not just no, but #e!! no.
My computer was down yesterday, and I didn't get to check FR. I have a bunch of work to do, but must check some FR articles.
Yep. It's a mistake I make often, but in this case, coming from a journalist who earns a living by writing, it's inexcusable, even more so when the article is about stupid people who don't go to collage.
John (f(ing) Kerry is living, walking and talking proof that his statement is so very untrue.
Look at Kerry, he went to the finest schools money could buy, groomed by the best groomers elitists use to refine their brats,
but he's still an idiot.
Amen.
It's like when you tell the kids to apologize to each other. Yeah, that's sincere.
LOL!

That can only mean one thing. Kerry is going to come out with a great big lie tomorrow that will explain it all away, as well as attack us for attacking his 'war hero' military service. We'll hear jabs at the "right wing co conspirators, Bush and his goons, Swiftboat Vets, Veterans for truth, etc etc.
He's going to unload.
You're either a robot or a Virgo. :^)
And my pet peeve is "definitely."
Now this disappoints me. He really needs to keep stumping for those Dem candidates.
C'mon, John Effin'. Don't wimp out on us NOW!!
In fact, keep up the GREAT work!
Kerry has been making disparaging remarks about our military for years now. He hates the military and he hates our Country. This is no surprise to those who follow politics closely. But the shocker is that he would voice this a week before the election, educating the entire electorate as well as everyone else on the planet.
Yeah, he'll try to explain it away again. Just another skerry flip flop as in the 04 elections.
Kerry has cancelled his scheduled appearances for today.
[Rumor: Kerry is to undergo emergency surgery --- to have his foot removed from his mouth.]
I thought reservists were considered in the military.
@@@@@
I never knew that civilians could learn to fly jet fighters on the Government's dime!

Members of the armed forces with higher education are more often commissioned officers (lieutenant and above). In 2004, 92.1 percent of active-duty officer accessions held baccalaureate degrees or higher.[5] From 2000 to 2005, between 10 percent and 17 percent of active-duty officer accessions held advanced degrees, and between 35 percent and 45 percent of... |
