Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.
Incredible. Just astounding.
He's deranged....or else a sure sign that he realizes just how deep he steped in it...
Glad you took my comment in the fun spirit it was intended!
Nevermind. You wanted a link to something else. :-)
"Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks."
I'm not a fan of McCain, but in this case he's spot on with that.
...John F'g Kerry served in Viet Nam.
I wasn't sure until I went out to www.johnkerry.com and checked press releases
http://www.johnkerry.com/news/releases/release.html?id=33
It is absolutely astonishing and the Democrat strategists are probably going into a complete meltdown, because it is too close to the mid terms for a Democrat to make such a statement.
This statement is known as "defending the indefensible."
Has Fox mentioned it on TV yet?
The Kerry response is not satire. No one is making this excuse up. Visit Drugde or NRO.
Won't work.......Republican women are more like Lynn Cheney........Republican women are not victims........
Kerry is just misunderstood. He was against going with that comment before he agreed with that comment. See!
He is just going through the five stages:
DENIAL - Denying that's what he was saying.
ANGER - For being so stupid - there goes my 2nd chance at President (unfortunately this helps Hillary Rodham)
BARGAINING - What would a Clinton do? Maybe they'll (public) believe it's a right wing conspriacy.
DEPRESSION - "Oh NO! - the public's not buying it!
ACCEPTANCE - Some kind of Mickey Mouse apology so that he can always say he apologized.
Here's the link.

It's also on www.johnkerry.com under "press releases."
All right. Anger then, not tears. Either will suffice.
The point is to make hay while the sun shines.
;^)
Sorry, thought you were talking about videp.
Well said by one is more qualified than most of us. Thank you, Senator McCain
I don't necessarily agree with the Senator on most things but he's dead on in this one.
-if we do not grab the football (skerry's gaffe) and run to the end zone we are fools!
Senator Kerry, why are you "Swift Boating" our brave men and women in the militay?
