So what do we think of John Kerry's faux pas?View Messages“Hey moonglo, its 2006!! So what, Kerry got it wrong 34 years ago.” 12:25:15 PM 11/02/06 “... full disclosure ... And he got the same thing wrong again in 2006.” 12:29:56 PM 11/02/06 “ ![]() ![]() ”12:32:53 PM 11/02/06 12:37:20 PM 11/02/06 12:40:18 PM 11/02/06 12:45:56 PM 11/02/06 “ ”12:50:29 PM 11/02/06 12:52:06 PM 11/02/06 “ ”12:53:49 PM 11/02/06 “ ”12:54:50 PM 11/02/06 “ ”12:56:02 PM 11/02/06 “MarkO - which one of those is Bush busting on his own military?” 12:57:44 PM 11/02/06 “Forget Osama. Forget getting us stuck in a quagmire on false pretenses. Forget about running up the National debt. Forget all those Congressman and Senators in jail or under investigation. Time we dealt with the real threat to this country - John Kerry and his poor comedic talents! Get real. last edited: 11/02/06 12:59:14 PM” 12:58:36 PM 11/02/06 “yeah Vman - When Senators call our military a bunch of idiots, we should just ignore that. Good call. Can you run the country for a while because you've got such goodly smarts?” 1:02:04 PM 11/02/06 “Kerry an icon of the left, LOL! Kerry lost most of the left when he abdicated leadership and voted to trust this President to decide whether or not to invade Iraq. I sent him emails and went to his office to mouth off at his flack catcher about the vote. As unimpressed as I am by Kerry, I think making such hay out of his dumb remark was ridiculous. He didn't say that everyone fighting in Iraq was stuck there, he was just taking a jab at the President and Iraq policy without thinking through the implications. If troop morale is affected by such a remark, it is far more wounded by the wide broadcast of the remark aired by Bushes buddies than by Kerry's saying it. How weird that it should be such a distraction from critical issues. The Bush boys don't have many cards to play, but they played this one very well indeed.” 1:11:23 PM 11/02/06 “He didn't say that everyone fighting in Iraq was stuck there, he was just taking a jab at the President and Iraq policy without thinking through the implications. That is NOT what he said.” 1:15:34 PM 11/02/06 Hear ye! Hear ye! Come one! Come all! “Come witness the re-writing of history in REAL TIME folks! Getcha tickets he'ya!!!” 1:16:37 PM 11/02/06 “I appreciate all this non partisan support for a politician making a slip of the tongue in a statement...I remember how you supported Trent Lott when he made the supportive statement at that PRIVATE birthday party for Sen Thurmond....oh wait,...you called for his head. Yeah wow...so I think the refrain is bubbling up! WHEN you have libbie libbies libbies at the Table Table Table They will change the rules to fit them as they're able able able...... Ah the Duplicity...” 1:27:11 PM 11/02/06 “errrr, so who kicked Trent Lott out? You really do just make this stuff up huh?” 1:30:30 PM 11/02/06 “The real issue is the record numbers of troops dying in Iraq, not whether they went to college on not - this is why it's a diversion. Things are so bad in Iraq they'd rather talk about some fumbled joke than the success of the key policy of the entire bush administration. last edited: 11/02/06 1:34:05 PM” 1:32:25 PM 11/02/06 “LMAO @ the poor squirming lefties! Kerry wasn't doing anything but shineing a bright light on the normal and accepted contempt the left has for our military. I find it hilarious the way the Dems up for election have cut and run from Kerry after this bright light, much like the roachs they are. LOL [VBG]” 1:37:39 PM 11/02/06 ““MarkO - which one of those is Bush busting on his own military?” Visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center if you want to see some of the military personel "busted on" by Dubya. Yeah Stovey, I have so much contempt for the military I finished Army infantry school three weeks before I turned 35 so that I could serve four years in the Natl Guard Mountain Infantry.” 2:34:36 PM 11/02/06 “Y2...were you stoned during that time...? My God the media and dems were calling for Lott's head...not that I argued with them. He was as big an appeaser as we have ever had outside the Defeatocrat party...or France.” 2:37:24 PM 11/02/06 ““The real issue is the record numbers of troops dying in Iraq, not whether they went to college on not - this is why it's a diversion." My goodness the way you say that you make it sound like Kerry is the republican October surprise. LOL!” 3:13:37 PM 11/02/06 “Kerry is the gift that keeps on giving! [VBG]” 3:15:40 PM 11/02/06 ““Kerry is the gift that keeps on giving! [VBG]” Yup, if you are a simple dork.” 3:29:04 PM 11/02/06 “Well I do know one thing for sure. John sKerry's ability, or inability, to even tell a simple joke right has shown me unequivocally... John sKerry = Marvin Gardens.” 3:32:15 PM 11/02/06 “More namecalling from MarkO. Wasn't he just complaining about that? LMAO Hypocrite. [VBG]” 3:32:30 PM 11/02/06 “LOL..want the refrain When you have Libbies Libbies Libbies at the Table Table Table They will change the rules to suit them As they are able able able” 3:34:36 PM 11/02/06 “OMG - I just saw the video of Kerry's remarks, including the preceding sentences (on TV on the McLaughlin Group). It is very clear to me that he was saying Bush was stuck in Iraq because he didn't do his homework. Kerry - who has not earned people's trust will never get the truth out, but it is plain to see. I also heard that the prepared text was out and it supports Kerry's version. Selfishly, I won't be bothered by how quickly the attack machine nailed and distorted this if it keeps Kerry from getting the Democratic nomination - but to the extent that it helps any far right Republican candidates - yuch. Anyway, the truth is on Kerry's side this time, by my analysis.” 7:23:25 PM 11/03/06 “Pedx, your Massachusetts 'filter' is working in overdrive. ;-)” 8:50:27 PM 11/03/06 “Popcorn! Peanuts! Getcha popcorn and peanuts he-ya!” 8:53:46 PM 11/03/06 “Kerry un-apologizes ... supports article saying he was right either way ... http://www.johnkerry.com/news/articles/newsarticle.html?id=80” 12:48:52 AM 11/04/06 Yea, Kerrys a jerk, but.... “LOL, your house is burning down around you because of hypocrisy, corruption, lies and dishonesty and you guys are still whining about Kerry...LOL Thats it boys, keep it up, the rest of the country smells the smoke, LOL I love the smell of fear.” 1:23:10 AM 11/04/06 6:32:47 AM 11/04/06 “your house is burning down around you because of hypocrisy, corruption, lies and dishonesty you saying it doesn't make it so” 8:11:39 AM 11/04/06 “Kerry's comments were uncalled for. During this time of the political cycle, supporters need to support, not become an anchor.” 8:27:09 AM 11/04/06 “Personally, I hope the Kerry story gets even bigger. In fact, I hope that it gets so big that it blots out the Saddam Hussein conviction "story" that gets planted tomorrow. Of course, I'm still holding out hope that they'll find Nichole Brown Simpson's killer on Monday. Wouldn't that be something?” 10:27:49 AM 11/04/06 Judge for yourself “Here's the remark in context as he said it, you can see that the topic is Bush, not the troops: "Yesterday, I was in the state of Texas. As you all know, President Bush used to live there. Now he lives in a state of denial, a state of deception. I'm glad to be here with you. I really am. Thank you for the privilege of coming here. We're here to talk about education, but I want to say something before. You know, education, if you make the most of it, study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." Anyhow, its obvious that the Republican attack maching has taken this ball, out of context and run with it. Craven Dems are running away from it, and Kerry can't shake it - because he hasn't earned a reputation for straight talk. last edited: 11/04/06 11:58:20 AM” 11:56:01 AM 11/04/06 “He was obviously saying that if you don't do well in school you'll have to join the military. How can you read that anyway else?? It's funny how it's listed here as the same paragraph. Obviously the first part is a separate thought from the second. This spin meister is whoever compiled those paragraphs together. Try this more logical compilation of his speech: "Yesterday, I was in the state of Texas. As you all know, President Bush used to live there. Now he lives in a state of denial, a state of deception. I'm glad to be here with you. I really am. Thank you for the privilege of coming here. We're here to talk about education, but I want to say something before. You know, education, if you make the most of it, study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."” 4:01:01 PM 11/04/06 9:26:18 PM 11/09/06
