John Kerry insults our troops as dumb

[Xavier_Onassis]

It is not the soldiers whose lack of study got them "stuck in Iraq". It is Rumsfeld, Cheney and Juniorbush.
Soldiers go where they are told, regardless of how well they studied.

Kerry was insulting Juniorbush and Co., not the soldiers.

John Kerry is a loser, a fumbler yet an unrestrained ego. We'd all be grateful if he carted his sorry ass off stage, for good. That said, it's clear to me that the stumblebum intended to ridicule Bush as dumb. Not only was that his likely intent, his actual words can be construed that way, when th proper light is shone upon them.

"Just have to stay fresh for another week."

Well, if the GOP wants to try to get some mileage out of Kerry's remarks, here is a prime suggestion;

Immediately muzzle George W Bush.

He is the last person you want leading any anti-Dem charge going into this election.

Everyday there's another story of additional deaths in Iraq, Bush is a political liability. Candidates are *running* away from him.

Locally, a race we have that shouldnt even be close is. Political neophite Dan Maffei is in a very tight race with Congressman Jim Walsh, who has been a very important ally for Bush. Maffei's camapign has been simple- he's ran against George Bush as much as Walsh, as Walsh has been a rubber stamp. Walsh has never had anything but token opposition- election before last, i think he actually ran unopposed.

The GOP will definitely be losing the seat of another strong Bush ally, the retiring Sherwood Boehlert.  Despite the GOP pouring over $2 million in negative campaigning into this race, Mike Arcuri has a comfortable lead over Republican Ray Meier.

I dont see the GOP getting any traction on this at all if you're going to put the face of a failed war out front.

Just shows Bush has a real lack of comprehension and strategic thinking.

And he case can be made that THEY think the troops are dumb for taking it that way. They just think of the troops as cannon fodder just like they think of the fundies.

Oh, come on sirs, this will make Bush look like a drowning man grabbing for a flotation device. No one is going to buy the Bush spin on the comment.

No one needs to go by anyone's spin.  They just have to listen to what Kerry said.  The more he tries to redefine what he said, the more the "do" he spreads.  Perhaps we'll soon get a rendition of I really meant to apologize to the troops before I didn't apologize to the troops

[larry]

Sirs, we'll see what tomorrow will bring. I don't see it being high on the issue list and if Bush pushes to make it an issue, it will only hurt Bush in the long run. Bush is stupid and inept, that is what Kerry said.

[sirs]

Sirs, we'll see what tomorrow will bring.....

What the hell does tomorrow bring?  Is Kerry going to repeat what he said, yesterday?  That's actually the more pertinent day     

[larry]

Tomorrow is one day closer to the election. Kerry still has time to make Bush look like the fool he is. We'll see what tomorrow will bring.

Ummm, ok.  Until then, Kerry still stepped in a bucket load of AMBE yesterday.

Meanwhile, Mr. Maliki of Iraq has thrown "W" a curve ball. That is a big issue.

One can only wish that the politicans would actually stick to the issues vs inane jokes that demean our soldiers, or repeat lies about lies, and not be called on it by the media.  One can only wish

That's obvious. 
103 of our troops killed in Iraq this month alone, 2,800+ all together, a war of choice based on lies, and they want KERRY to apologize? Not a frikking chance in hell.
