Kerry says US needs its own 'regime change'

By echoing the ''regime change'' line popular with hundreds of thousands of antiwar protesters who have demonstrated across the nation in recent weeks, the Massachusetts senator and Democratic presidential contender seemed to be reaching out to a newly invigorated constituency as rival Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont and a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq, closes in on Kerry in opinion polls.

The Jack@ss speaks...

Kerry is not fit to wipe Bush's shoes!! The Democratic wasteproducts that are running in 2004 are pathetic losers!

[kevao]

Let him take it up with the UN Security Council.

My idea of a regime change means removing 90% of the Demorats from the House and the Senate. Can you say recall?

[MassExodus]

Just saw this headline on Drudge.

My first reaction was "GUFFAW ! THIS GUY IS TOAST!"

The fall out from this will be fun to watch.

Next Democrat canidate, step forward.

[Ga Rob]

Oh how sweet it is....keep it up, PLEASE CONTINUE!!!!! When the RNC makes the commercials for 2004 there will be plenty of true statements by these morons!!!!!

[hawkaw]

At a time of war this is not a good thing to say.

Wow. Isn't this guy a Vietham vet? He of all people should to atleast hold off on this until the war is completely over and the troops are safe!

[N. Theknow]

Really going after that less than 30% base of support.

Now about that 70% plus.....

[Nagual]

Yo Mr Kerry,

We had a "regime change", your butt hole party lost. Guess what? The purge will continue.

Sayo-nara Kerry-san.

[Fred Mertz]

I predict an apology before the sun sets today or Kerry will be toast from here on.

This guy is a US senator and wannabe president? Not anymore...

[b4its2late]

Where's Kerry from?

Some village is definitely missing its' idiot.

[MinuteGal]

Kerry is 57 varieties of a loser.

..."According to Kerry, 'Things are going too well, we are becoming too powerful and before you know it the economy will rebound so strongly that we won't need the French'..."

[chiefqc]

The dumb-o-crat leadership is a total failure. They lead with their own self appointed egos instead of with their brains.

Defeat more in 2004.

[Ga Rob]

"Isn't this guy a Vietham vet? ".....

He is a leftist...power hungry traitor. Do you seriously believe he cares about anything other than his own power?? I doubt some of the stories I have heard and read about his service. The American people will see him for what he is.

[orbitboy]

the DUmmies never cease to amaze, this won't play well in Peoria

[Cyber Liberty]

Excellent news. Excellent.

What a maroon

''What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States,'' Kerry said in a speech at the Peterborough Town Library.

Using the phrase "regime change" in this fashion is profoundly offensive. It trust it will be found as such by the voters, should Kerry be the Dem nominee.

In using "regime change," he mocks the efforts our young men and women are undertaking on our behalf and on behalf of freedom in general, at the risk of their lives. And he implicitly compares President Bush to Saddam.

My guess is he'll be very sorry he ever used that phrase in such a context. I hope there's video tape of the remarks; it could come in handy in October and November of 2004.

[antienvironmentalist]

What an effective way to secure a defeat.

It's almost like he pulled defeat from the jaws of victory, except that he pulled defeat from the jaws of defeat.
