One of the men in a buzz-generating photograph taken in Iraq is a St. Cloud police sergeant, St. Cloud Police Chief Dennis Ballantine said.
Marty Sayre is one eight soldiers in a photo poking fun at Sen. John Kerry that is making the rounds on the Internet. The photo shows the National Guard soldiers holding a sign that says Halp us Jon Carry we R stuck hear N Irak.
The sign is a riff on comments Kerry made Monday to a group of college students. You study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you dont, you get stuck in Iraq, he said.
The comments immediately became fodder in a heated midterm election battle that has focused on the war in Iraq.
Kerry later said it was a bad joke and apologized to anyone he offended.
Ballantine said he received an e-mail from Sayre, who said he was in the photograph. Sayre wrote that the photo was meant for family and friends and was surprised by the attention it has gotten, Ballantine said.
Ballantine said he was happy to see the photo, because its proof that Sayre is alive and well.
Ballantine also pointed out that Sayre has a bachelors degree.
My home state. I'm so proud!
If the Dems take the House (which I doubt), don't be suprised if we hear something about Article 88. It really doesn't apply in this case, but the MSM/Dems will try to find some way to go after this group. Now that the officer's name is known, don't be suprised if we hear someone conveniently find something bad to say about him.
Where's the political comment? Who's the Jon Carry they refer to in their sign?
But just imagine if Bubba J. Clinton had been in the Oval Office when our soldiers put out their plea for Jon Carry to halp them. We're talking career enders here.
That's what someone thought of Kerry back in 2004

Normally I wouldn't but I adopted this yesterday. It's the least I can do to support our troops.
Same thing they did in FL.
...everything they can.
I think I will try out this new tagline for awhile. ;^)
Well, I offered on one FR post that the military ballots should be counted by the military and passed on. I do not trust the Democrats with our military votes.
>>>>>>"This photo alone will give a ten point boost to Republican Senatorial candidate Mark Kennedy in Minnesota!"<<<<<
This photo will make me GRIN and it will swell my chest for the rest of my life!
God Bless our Troops

>>>>>"The MSM is 100% clueless how much this energized conservatives AROUND THE PLANET"<<<<<
To quote Jackie Gleason "How SWWEEEEEEEET it is!"
TT
How's that one?
>>>>>"Karl Rove has asked Cary to speak at the Republican National Convention in 08,2012.2016,.................."<<<<<<
I'm hoping jon cary pre-records these speeches for the Republican National Conventions and then promptly departs the pattern and assumes room temp.
(but that is just me)

Do you think he has any idea what a joke he is yet?
Nor do I. That, and our national security, our national treasury, our judicial appointments ...
Do you think he gets that he has been the butt of a joke or two or three for several years now?
