I'm trying to be sensible here but this Kerry quote, folks it bought tears to my eyes.

I have a grandson getting close to military age. Whatever his choice, know that I could never be less prideful should he choose the uniform of his country and serve it so bravely or strive for physician status.

For Kerry to have said what he said, I'm perfectly serious, I felt the pain those prideful and hopeful troops might feel when they hear about it. What a very mean slap in the face. A slap in the face to the best this country has to offer.

Ladies and gems, it's the Middle Class who supplies the soldiers to defend this country. Get it? The Middle Class, that great body of people who carry this country on their backs while struggling to raise the next generation of citizens and soldiers. In other words, it's US!

Sure we're just average schlubs, not blue-blooded like the great John F. Kerry. We obey the laws, we don't riot over cartoons, we work jobs and we keep this country neat and clean out here in la-la land. No country ever succeeds without a mighty but mostly productive Middle Class.

And here this man just reached out and slapped every one of us in the face. Slapped us and haughtily reminded us that we but a hoard of idiots existing to keep the likes of John Kerry and his ilk up at their proper social status as he sees it.

There is not enough anger in the universe as I feel for this despicable man and trying not to be too melodramatic, I apologize to our military right now for the words of this man. Not a single one of us carrying this country on our backs shares John Kerry's disdain. We admire our soldiers as it was US, America's mighty Middle Class, who supplied the soldiers. Our military will always be a source of our silly plebian pride and joy.

Hope some military guys see this.

Call your congressman and both US Senators - local offices or DC. Raise Hell and let them feel your pain.

Well, a military wife just saw it! Bless you.

That is one of the finest posts I've seen on this forum. God bless you, Fishtalk, God bless our troops, and God bless the USofA.

Instead of anger, I'm feeling glee that this a$$hat gave the GOP a gift a week out from the elections.

Don't worry, be happy!

DITTO AND BUMP!! Our son enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for 8 years. He is extremely intelligent, scored one of the highest scores in our state on the exam, and became an expert in satellite communications. He served proudly and with honor. He served in Iraq. John Kerry has insulted our military men and women in the past, and he continues to do so to this day. This man deserves no respect whatsoever from any American.

That was perfect--Great job!

I have been FUMING all morning after I saw that despicable piece of Dem flesh say what he did about our kids. Not only did he slap them, he slapped us parents. I don't feel like I failed my kid because she wanted to enlist. She was on her own, with a great job and was 25 yrs old at the time. And she made us so damn proud.

Kerry slapped us, and he slapped all military moms and dads and families the country over. Because he was a failed pres candidate, he is accusing us military parents as being failures to make himself look big.

Bastard
