Senator Kerry is making a trip to Iraq. I just wanted everyone to know that I am emailing the troops I have addresses for, and asking them not to pose in photos with him. The sole purpose of the trip is to show the American public that everything is o.k. and to get photo ops to send to the AP. This is shameful.

"And I heard a rumor that he's a Vietnam Vet...."
That was for the 2004 campaign. Commodore Kerry has been replaced by Peacenik Kerry.
Thanks, that is the first time in a long time that I have laughed until I cried. It felt great!
I don't suppose its realistic to hope someone frags his a$$? Not really, just wishful thinking.
Isn't there some story about him, Christmas and a magic hat?
"They gave me a hat," Mr. Kerry says. "I have the hat to this day," he declares, rising to pull it from his briefcase. "I have the hat."
Honorary mine sweeper? EOD tech with a hammer?
Prayers for his safe return...............
Prayers for his-your son's- safe return...............
Thank for your kind words. My son was killed in action on Memorial Day, 2005.
That's all I came here to say.
You and Derek are in my thoughts and prayers Debbie. I pray that God will bless you and your family with peace during this Christmas Season.
Loved that pic of Kerry at Wendy's and the story...
[quote]John Kerry's heavily hyped cross-country bus tour stumbled out of the blocks yesterday, as a group of Marines publicly dissed the Vietnam War hero in the middle of a crowded restaurant.
Kerry was treating running mate Sen. John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, to a Wendy's lunch in Newburgh, N.Y., for their 27th wedding anniversary — an Edwards family tradition — when the candidate approached four Marines and asked them questions.
The Marines — two in uniform and two off-duty — were polite but curt while chatting with Kerry, answering most of his questions with a "yes, sir" or "no, sir."
But they turned downright nasty after the Massachusetts senator thanked them "for their service" and left.
"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one Marine said, adding, "I'm 100 percent against [him]."
A sergeant with 10 years of service under his belt said, "I speak for all of us. We think that we are doing the right thing in Iraq," before saying he is to be deployed there in a few weeks and is "eager" to go and serve.
The Marines — all of whom serve at nearby Stewart Air Force Base — wouldn't give their names.[/quote]
Jerk Kerry went a while back to Iraq and his photo ops looked as if they were staged, and the few Mass. Troops who clearly were ordered to pose did not appear to be excited to be with him in the same pictures.
That guy is so over, and I can scarcely contain my glee concerning the fact.
He's done this before...his entire life has been staged.

Wouldn't it be great if the soldiers, who ARE forced to pose with him, could set up some kind of signal, hand gesture or something- kind of an inside joke...
Knowing the ingenuity and smarts of our troops--I'm sure they are working on it as we speak. ;)
I hadn't noticed....
