 Thursday, November 2, 2006 Kerry's Remark: Right either way Republicans evidenced their election desperation by braying about an offhand comment that Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., made at a California college rally. "Education" Kerry said "-- if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." Was Kerry making fun of the president, or warning students against the pitfalls awaiting the undereducated in general? It doesn't matter. Kerry was right either way. Kerry wasn't saying -- regardless of the Republican spin -- that our troops are stupid. Kerry's intended point was obvious. President Bush didn't do his homework before he ordered the invasion. He didn't study the intricacies of Mideast religion, culture, politics and tribalism. He wasn't smart about it and we are stuck in Iraq. Although there are plenty of well-educated people in our armed forces -- Kerry was one of them -- military service has long been an opportunity employer for those with less education and fewer skills than they need to work in the private sector. Indeed, the military sells itself as a place to garner skills and to help pay for higher education. And wars, including this one, are often fought by those less privileged -- albeit no less smart -- than the sons and daughters of those who lead us into them. Apologies? Sure, from the cut-and-run Democratic candidates who've cancelled appearances with Kerry. |
Oh, PLEEEEASE DO!!!
Everytime I read about these people or hear them speak, I JUST WISH I COULD SLAP THEM UPSIDE THE HEAD!!!

LOL.

If you're on the Federal Do Not Call list, I understand that it's something like a $5,000.00 fine for businesses to call people on that list. I believe that the entities exempted from this are political organizations and people whom you have had a business relationship with, but I'm wondering if the case can be made that since you discontinued your subscription some time ago and have repeatedly told them that you are not interested in their product, that their continued, unwanted sales calls constitute a violation of the Do Not Call List?
It sure would be nice for a few thousand people to each stick the P.I. with a $5,000.00 Federal fine.
My contribution:
If you work hard and study hard, you'll do well. If you don't, well, you'll be stuck with Sheila Jackson Lee as your mentor.
Please consider posting your joke on this thread too:

A good collection of funny "stuck in" jokes is developing there.
Good idea. I know they can call if you have a relationship w/them, but I haven't had a subscription with them for a good 4 years. I don't see any relationship now.
The posting is entirely to much for my low bandwidth connection. But thanks anyway. It takes forever for the whole post to load. As I try reading chunks the stuff continues to scroll downward. But I assure you I get the over all message regarding both Jock as well as the Hildabeast.
This is a variation of "fake, but accurate."

For those people who may believe the lie about Kerry's comment being a "botched joke", keep in mind that the Seattle PI editorial is featured prominiently on Kerry's own website.

If you can stand it, click on that link, then mouse over the Seattle PI editorial icon.
Can I question his patriotism now?
I'm sure that most any vet would have encouraged you to do so long ago :-)
Thanks very much for the information. I'm wondering if this means we can demand equal time for John O'Neil, since the P.I.'s "editorial' is being implemented as political advertising?
