Kerry says US needs its own 'regime change'

Regime prevention is what we need. Shouldn't be difficult to accomplish with comments like Kerry's.

[hillaryisajackass]

THAT WAS AWESOME MAN........"KERRY-SAN".......LOL......MAN.....THANKS FOR THE LAUGH!!!!!!

[Timesink]

The Jack@ss speaks...And seals his fate. That tape is gonna play over and over and over in Iowa and New Hampshire come wintertime, and not many voters are going to be amused by it. Not even RAT voters.

[hillaryisajackass]

BROTHER.......THAT IS AN AWESOME QUOTE......IM LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF.....LOVE IT!!!!!

[hillaryisajackass]

I HAVE TO AGREE.......READ THE SEDITION ACT OF 1918.......I BELIEVE THE BOY JUST STEPPED IN IT......AND I MEAN S T E P P E D ...IN IT!!!!........LOOK FOR SAVAGE TONIGHT TO WET THE MICROPHONE.....LOL

[Timesink]

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!!!!!

I noticed running across CNN's crawl last night that Terry McMoron has had to pretty much issue an open "order" to all the RAT candidates that they're supposed to be attacking the GOP instead of each other. They are SO F---ED.

[bandleader]

RIGHT ON!!!!!I can't wait to hear Maha Rushie address this today!!!!!!What was it that Lee Atwater used to say?I think it was"When Your Enemy Is In The Process Of Destroying Himself,Stay Out Of His Way"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Maybe 10-15% max are going to find this at all "arousing." And we're talking about the 10-15% that also make up the psychopathic wing of the party ... the same types that hang out at DUh and openly pray (to whom, I have no idea) for a Saddam win, etc. All the RAT candidate has to do is manage to get listed on the ballot and those nuts will vote for him. So why spend even one second pandering to them?

[Timesink]

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.

More like January, IMHO. The other RAT candidates will not hesitate to use this to take him out.

Is Kerry running for President...of France?

[Callahan]

Not the most coherent statement. He's putting himself at odd's with the Democrat wacko base by endorsing regime change in Iraq, then alienating the moderates by say we need "regime change" in Washington, implying Bush is on the same level as a scumbag terrorist dictator. Methinks his wife is at the controls.

[Dahoser]

However, here in the People's Republic of New York, the President's approval rating still hasn't cracked 50%. The latest Siena College poll found it rose to 3 points to 48% statewide since the war began. The same poll saw Congress's approval rise 4 points to 43%. Margin of error is 3.9%. This particular poll did not ask about the war itself, though.

[nfldgirl]

He is a Viet Nam vet who has been accused of killing an unarmed village of women and children...

Wasn't that the other "John Kerry" former Senator from Nebraska that was involved with this controversy? I think so....but could be wrong. Maybe there's another Vietnam controversy surrounding this "SINater" as well. As far as his comments...gosh, aren't these Dem pols just despicable! Here are the latest DNC talking points:
(1) Bush [Administration] is trying to fund Homeland Security "on the cheap," and
(2) [After the war]...We'll need a new president to rebuild the country's damaged relationships with the rest of the world...(or words to that affect).
In other words..."We need a regime change in the United States..."

Sickening! We need only look at the likes of "JFK," Hillary, Daschle, Gephardt, Kennedy, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, et al., to know who are the true enemies of America.

Kerry's is a campaign still in search of a sound bite.

I don't think this was the one they're searching for...

[Navar]

Pride goes before a fall. Kerry is a self loving gasbag that wouldn't make a scab on President Bush's behind. May his hatred for our president destroy his popularity. May he drown in the sewagepool of verbal excretement him and his party spew out. I am sick of the liberal's oral flatulence. It's the same crew all the time. Will they ever commit political suicide and spare us this unending diet of crap? Good grief how does Ted Kennedy and the rest stay in office? year after year? It's as if they are untouchables or something!

[Mr. K]

YES MY HORRIBLE MISTAKE AND I APOLOGIZE

[ozzymandus]

He wasn't in favor of a regime change when clinton was commiting treason, was he????

[NYC Republican]

RUSH is ALL over this, right off the bat. I LOOOOOVVVVEEE ITTT!!!!

[dufekin]

"Senator John F. Kerry said yesterday that President Bush committed a ''breach of trust'' in the eyes of many United Nations members by going to war with Iraq, creating a diplomatic chasm that will not be bridged as long as Bush remains in office."

Hey, Kerry, do you know how the Presidential election works? It's called the electoral college. At present, there are 539 electoral votes; you need more than half (at least 270) to win decisively. Now, how many electoral votes do you get from the French? Zero. How many electoral votes do you gain in America from placating the French? About -200. How many electoral votes come from any United Nations member state except the United States of America? Zero. How many electoral votes do you gain from American States by appeasing various tyrants who happen to hold sway in the United Nations? Almost -300. Maybe you should start caring about the needs of the American people, not weaseling appeasement just because weak Frogs an Ocean away cannot stomach reality?

[Jim Noble]

The RAT candidates all have the same problem-to get any traction with the base (which they need to do, no question)-they need to throw the crowd suicidal one-liners like this.

Kerry said this for the first time in California about a week ago, and all the commie America-hating Saddamites in his audience went wild. Brought the house down.

So, like a fool, he has been repeating this one-liner over and over. Sooner or later, he will do it in front of normal people, or on TV, and he'll be finished.

What's a RAT who wants to be President to do?
