Yep...the liberal leaders sure give lip service to supporting our troops. But when you listen to their statements...you see more clearly they don't really support our military at all.
Old kerry and kennedy can't say ENOUGH terrible/negative things about our troops. And they continue to do so....as often as the opportunity presents itself.
These are our Armed Forces...the men and women we depend on to protect our Nation. And they pretty much just continue to SPIT in their faces, every chance they get. Especially kerry and kennedy.

What Did John Kerry Do?
Posted by Hugh Hewitt | 11:17 PM

He slandered the military, of course, and the white hot anger is the result. (See this e-mail from a Navy officer. I have received scores of similar e-mails and calls)
Kerry reminded people that the war against the war has been underway since mid-2003, and that the Democrats have never taken the many opportunities to try and rally around the effort to reconstruct a free Iraq but at every turn have demanded an exit on some sort of rushed and arbitrary timetable.
They disparaged the effort to push elections forward, then the effort to form a government, and now that government's effort to rule and unite.
The enemy has been watching, and has calculated that they only way they can win is by waiting out America ---just as the North Vietnamese did.
Today Kerry also reminded all Americans of the deep, **anti-military bias** that has infected the left since Vietnam, and through the left, the MSM.
In a flash all the anti-military rhetoric that began in the late '60s and built through 9/11 was back on the front shelf.
(Donna Shalala's on Vietnam veterans: “not our best and brightest."
Clinton Assistant Secretary of the Army Sara Lister: ""The Marines are extremists.
Wherever you have extremists, you've got some risks of total disconnection with society. And that's a little dangerous."
Michael Moore's portrait of the recruits in his bit of agitprop.)
The coverage of the Kerry slander is also reminding Americans of the MSM's deep-seated left-leaning bias, a reminder that will grow more pronounced as viewers recall the pursuit of Trent Lott and more recently George Allen over gaffes.
Kerry's slander is much, much worse than a gaffe, but the MSM was already in "he was misunderstood" mode tonight, as my interview with ABC News' Mark Halperin today made clear:
Yes, their anti-military position is worse than ever. Think of our Nation where the liberals have restrained ALL the recruiters from encouraging more young men and women to serve their country....not just keeping them off their liberal campuses.
Then we'll be just like Canada, France, Germany...most all of Europe...except the UK....we WON'T be able to defend ourselves as the terrorists continue to meet their goal to destroy us.
Want democrats to do that ....make our military just like Europe's? Then the muslims will be telling US what we're going to be doing...just as they NOW are doing in the UK, France and Germany.
I want a strong military. I'm voting Republican because they've ALWAYS supported a STRONG military.
So unlike the liberals who think America shouldn't be a strong military/world power...and will seek to lessen their strength. Like they want to now bring them home in 'shame'...admitting defeat. Letting our enemies win.
That's NOT the America way. It's the liberal way....wanting to be Europeans...not Americans.
While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation:
What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

Update on john kerry's HUGE blunder. Which he's NOW trying to pass off as being a failed JOKE. LOL Yea, some joke insulting our troops for being less than intelligent.
He's sure fired up the republican base. McCain was on Fox News last night telling America what HE thought of kerry's insult to our troops. He stated how HARMFUL these sort of statements from kerry, were to our troops/POWS in VN...and now he's repeating it again...with our troops in Iraq.
He's made such a political blunder....that news reports have said his own party has cancelled his campaign schedule for the next two days so he doesn't do MORE damage.
They've got to keep him out of the public eye...he's helping the troop-supporting Republican party everytime he opens his BIG MOUTH.
Maybe this was their 'October Surprise'. lol lol

BUSHY NEED TO APOLOGY TO AMERICA FOR STARTING A WAR ON LIES. KERRY SIMPLY WILL NOT APOLOGIZE TO FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSHY.
Oct 31, 2006 — Washington (Reuters) - What do you call a situation where 3,000 citizens of a country kill each other every month through bombing, shooting and beheading? If the country is Iraq, it depends on who answers the question.
U.S. and Iraqi government leaders are avoiding the term "civil war," although President George W. Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and several generals have said Iraq was "close to," "nearing" or "in danger of" civil war.
Experts outside the administration have been less circumspect.
"Iraq's conflict is now worse than civil war," said an October report by the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank close to the Democratic Party.
"The country suffers from at least four internal conflicts — a Shiite-Sunni civil war in the center, intra-Shiite conflicts in the south, a Sunni insurgency in the west and ethnic tensions between Arabs and Kurds in the north."
Gen. John P. Abizaid, the commander of U.S. military operations in the Middle East, told a Senate committee in August that "the sectarian violence is probably as bad as I've seen it, in Baghdad in particular, and that if not stopped, it is possible that Iraq could move toward civil war."
Since then, the death toll from sectarian violence has risen steadily, as have the number of insurgent attacks on U.S. troops. From July to September, 9,200 Iraqi civilians were killed, according to an October 30 report by the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.
"In Iraq, we'll never be in civil war," Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said a few months after taking office six months ago.
His predecessor, Iyad Allawi, saw things differently. "We are losing each day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more. If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."
In the latest of a series of reports on Iraq, Anthony Cordesman, a widely-respected expert at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies, said this month the level and sources of violence in Iraq clearly meet a dictionary definition of civil war.

Try and dance around kerry's HUGE insult to our troops, AGAIN
Wasn't that long ago that he accused our troops of 'terrorizing the Iraqi people - breaking into their homes and terrorizing them.' That was as they were trying to find the terrorists who were killing their fellow soldiers.
Yep....he sure supports our troops alright. Again that liberal mind think.
KERRY needs to apologize to our TROOPS....the insult he made was directed towards our TROOPS and their intelligence levels....not the President.
This is about kerry's screw-up and the veterans groups are up-in-arms demanding kerry apologize to THEM.

Some Dems join GOP seeking Kerry apology
WASHINGTON - A few Democratic candidates joined Republicans Wednesday in pressing John Kerry to apologize for a comment critics said appeared disrespectful of U.S. troops as several Kerry campaign appearances were canceled
Whatever the intent, Senator Kerry was wrong to say what he said," said Democratic Rep. Harold Ford (news, bio, voting record) Jr., running for Senate in Tennessee.
"Sen. Kerry's remarks were poorly worded and just plain stupid," said Montana Senate President Jon Tester, a Democrat trying to unseat GOP Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record). "He owes our troops and their families an apology."
"I'm sorry he did what he did. But I think the issue ... we want to make sure it doesn't confuse the subject of the war in Iraq," Democratic Rep. Ben Cardin, running for Senate in Maryland, said on CNN.

No matter how much Linda and the neocons try to spin this, the fact remains that this election is about the Iraq War and the Republican failed policies. I suppose a misinterpreted statement is FAR worse than all of the people murdered by the Bush Administration (that is in Linda's eyes of course).
Kerry's blunder was in the midst of a barrage of jokes that were directly aimed at George Bush, and NOT at the the troops. Linda knows this, but she is simply using the Republican talking points, as she cannot put together thoughts on her own.
Kerry's only mistake was not being entirely clear that his comments were aimed at the President, the real joke of humanity. Let's not forget, people misspeak all the time, and George Bush is by far the best example of someone who can't put together a coherent sentance...
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
"Too many OBGYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
"There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world worst leaders to hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and allies with the world's worst weapons."
"See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
All of these quotes were made by George W. Bush...
So, let's all let Linda have her moment in the sun, as she loves to walk in lockstep with the neocons. It will be short lived.

Bushy 3 years ago was crawling around on this hands and knees in the oval office (with a big smirk on his face) pretending he was looking for WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTING.
Bushy was doing his little joke while U.S. Troops were getting killed like they are still are getting killed in Iraq today.
I believe Kerry should apologize the minute BUSHY/CHENEY apologize for the war they started on BOLD FACE LIES.
In just a few days Americans can start taking their country back for LIARS.

Jason Smith notes a Heritage Foundation study debunking the myth of the poor, uneducated soldier:
"According to a comprehensive study of all enlistees for the years 1998-99 and 2003 that The Heritage Foundation just released, the typical recruit in the all-volunteer force is wealthier, more educated and more rural than the average 18- to 24-year-old citizen is.
Indeed, for every two recruits coming from the poorest neighborhoods, there are three recruits coming from the richest neighborhoods.
If, for example, we consider the education of every recruit, 98% joined with high-school diplomas or better. By comparison, 75% of the general population meets that standard.
Among all three-digit ZIP code areas in the USA in 2003 (one can study larger areas by isolating just the first three digits of ZIP codes), not one had a higher graduation rate among civilians than among its recruits."

Appears this slander against our troops is gaining momentum. The American Legion is now calling for an apology from kerry as are the Army and Navy Times. GOOD...they all DESERVE an apology from kerry. EACH and EVERY soldier who HAS served and is serving doesn't appreciate his garbage.
=====
And just for the record....because the anti-military liberals are trying to SPIN what kerry said and what THEY believe he meant....here's what kerry ACTUALLY DID SAY:
Kerry: You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Kerry's not a candidate, and has now backed away from campaigning for Democrats. If you read the text of what he was supposed to say, it was obviously a botched attept to make a joke about the president.
The Republicans' squaking about this is evidence of their desperation. They're grabbing at straws big time..it'll all blow over in a few days and won't change peoples' minds about the way this administration is ruining this country.

Kerry has apologized and the White House has accepted his apology.
It's over and won't hurt the Democrats.
I don't cut and paste a lot of stuff here, so I going to post a long one here. If you didn't see Keith Olbermann's editorial last night on Countdown, you missed a great oration. This is the text in it's entirety.
On the 22nd of May, 1856, as the deteriorating American political system veered toward the edge of the cliff, U.S. Rep. Preston Brooks of South Carolina shuffled into the Senate of this nation, his leg stiff from an old dueling injury, supported by a cane. And he looked for the familiar figure of the prominent senator from Massachusetts, Charles Sumner.
Brooks found Sumner at his desk, mailing out copies of a speech he had delivered three days earlier — a speech against slavery. The congressman matter-of-factly raised his walking stick in midair and smashed its metal point across the senator’s head. Congressman Brooks hit his victim repeatedly. Sen. Sumner somehow got to his feet and tried to flee. Brooks chased him and delivered untold blows to Sumner’s head. Even though Sumner lay unconscious and bleeding on the Senate floor, Brooks finally stopped beating him only because his cane finally broke.
Others will cite John Brown’s attack on the arsenal at Harper’s Ferry as the exact point after which the Civil War became inevitable.
In point of fact, it might have been the moment, not when Brooks broke his cane over the prostrate body of Sen. Sumner — but when voters in Brooks’ district started sending him new canes.
Tonight, we almost wonder to whom President Bush will send the next new cane.
There is tonight no political division in this country that he and his party will not exploit, nor have not exploited; no anxiety that he and his party will not inflame.
There is no line this president has not crossed — nor will not cross — to keep one political party in power.
He has spread any and every fear among us in a desperate effort to avoid that which he most fears — some check, some balance against what has become not an imperial, but a unilateral presidency.
And now it is evident that it no longer matters to him whether that effort to avoid the judgment of the people is subtle and nuanced or laughably transparent.
Sen. John Kerry called him out Monday.
He did it two years too late.
He had been too cordial — just as Vice President Gore had been too cordial in 2000, just as millions of us have been too cordial ever since.
Sen. Kerry, as you well know, spoke at a college in Southern California. With bitter humor he told the students that he had been in Texas the day before, that President Bush used to live in that state, but that now he lives in the state of denial.
He said the trip had reminded him about the value of education — that “if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you can get stuck in Iraq.”
The senator, in essence, called Mr. Bush stupid.
The context was unmistakable: Texas; the state of denial; stuck in Iraq. No interpretation required.
And Mr. Bush and his minions responded by appearing to be too stupid to realize that they had been called stupid.
They demanded Kerry apologize to the troops in Iraq.
And so he now has.
That phrase — “appearing to be too stupid” — is used deliberately, Mr. Bush.
Because there are only three possibilities here.
One, sir, is that you are far more stupid than the worst of your critics have suggested; that you could not follow the construction of a simple sentence; that you could not recognize your own life story when it was deftly summarized; that you could not perceive it was the sad ledger of your presidency that was being recounted.
This, of course, compliments you, Mr. Bush, because even those who do not “make the most of it,” who do not “study hard,” who do not “do their homework,” and who do not “make an effort to be smart” might still just be stupid, but honest.
No, the first option, sir, is, at best, improbable. You are not honest.
The second option is that you and those who work for you deliberately twisted what Sen. Kerry said to fit your political template; that you decided to take advantage of it, to once again pretend that the attacks, solely about your own incompetence, were in fact attacks on the troops or even on the nation itself.
The third possibility is, obviously, the nightmare scenario: that the first two options are in some way conflated.
That it is both politically convenient for you and personally satisfying to you, to confuse yourself with the country for which, sir, you work.
A brief reminder, Mr. Bush: You are not the United States of America.
You are merely a politician whose entire legacy will have been a willingness to make anything political; to have, in this case, refused to acknowledge that the insult wasn’t about the troops, and that the insult was not even truly about you either, that the insult, in fact, is you.
So now John Kerry has apologized to the troops; apologized for the Republicans’ deliberate distortions.
Thus, the president will now begin the apologies he owes our troops, right?
This president must apologize to the troops for having suggested, six weeks ago, that the chaos in Iraq, the death and the carnage, the slaughtered Iraqi civilians and the dead American service personnel, will, to history, “look like just a comma.”
This president must apologize to the troops because the intelligence he claims led us into Iraq proved to be undeniably and irredeemably wrong.
This president must apologize to the troops for having laughed about the failure of that intelligence at a banquet while our troops were in harm’s way.
This president must apologize to the troops because the streets of Iraq were not strewn with flowers and its residents did not greet them as liberators.
This president must apologize to the troops because his administration ran out of “plan” after barely two months.
This president must apologize to the troops for getting 2,815 of them killed.
This president must apologize to the troops for getting this country into a war without a clue.
And Mr. Bush owes us an apology for this destructive and omnivorous presidency.
We will not receive them, of course.
This president never apologizes.
Not to the troops.
Not to the people.
Nor will those henchmen who have echoed him.
In calling him a “stuffed suit,” Sen. Kerry was wrong about the press secretary.
Mr. Snow’s words and conduct, falsely earnest and earnestly false, suggest he is not “stuffed,” he is inflated.
And in leaving him out of the equation, Sen. Kerry gave an unwarranted pass to his old friend Sen. John McCain, who should be ashamed of himself tonight.
He rolled over and pretended Kerry had said what he obviously had not.
Only, the symbolic stick he broke over Kerry’s head came in a context even more disturbing.
Mr. McCain demanded the apology while electioneering for a Republican congressional candidate in Illinois.
He was speaking of how often he had been to Walter Reed Hospital to see the wounded Iraq veterans, of how “many of them have lost limbs.”
He said all this while demanding that the voters of Illinois reject a candidate who is not only a wounded Iraq veteran, but who lost two limbs there, Tammy Duckworth.
Support some of the wounded veterans. But bad-mouth the Democratic one.
And exploit all the veterans and all the still-serving personnel in a cheap and tawdry political trick to try to bury the truth: that John Kerry said the president had been stupid.
And to continue this slander as late as this morning — as biased or gullible or lazy newscasters nodded in sleep-walking assent.
Sen. McCain became a front man in a collective lie to break sticks over the heads of Democrats — one of them his friend, another his fellow veteran, legless, for whom he should weep and applaud or at minimum about whom he should stay quiet.
That was beneath the senator from Arizona.
And it was all because of an imaginary insult to the troops that his party cynically manufactured out of a desperation and a futility as deep as that of Congressman Brooks, when he went hunting for Sen. Sumner.
This is our beloved country now as you have redefined it, Mr. Bush.
Get a tortured Vietnam veteran to attack a decorated Vietnam veteran in defense of military personnel whom that decorated veteran did not insult.
Or, get your henchmen to take advantage of the evil lingering dregs of the fear of miscegenation in Tennessee, in your party’s advertisements against Harold Ford.
Or, get the satellites who orbit around you, like Rush Limbaugh, to exploit the illness — and the bipartisanship — of Michael J. Fox. Yes, get someone to make fun of the cripple.
Oh, and sir, don’t forget to drag your own wife into it.
“It’s always easy,” she said of Mr. Fox’s commercials — and she used this phrase twice — “to manipulate people’s feelings.”
Where on earth might the first lady have gotten that idea, Mr. President?
From your endless manipulation of people’s feelings about terrorism?
“However they put it,” you said Monday of the Democrats, on the subject of Iraq, “their approach comes down to this: The terrorists win, and America loses.”
No manipulation of feelings there.
No manipulation of the charlatans of your administration into the only truth-tellers.
No shocked outrage at the Kerry insult that wasn’t; no subtle smile as the first lady silently sticks the knife in Michael J. Fox’s back; no attempt on the campaign trail to bury the reality that you have already assured that the terrorists are winning.
Winning in Iraq, sir.
Winning in America, sir.
There we have chaos — joint U.S.-Iraqi checkpoints at Sadr City, the base of the radical Shiite militias, and the Americans have been ordered out by the prime minister of Iraq … and our secretary of defense doesn’t even know about it!
And here we have deliberate, systematic, institutionalized lying and smearing and terrorizing — a code of deceit that somehow permits a president to say, “If you listen carefully for a Democrat plan for success, they don’t have one.”
Permits him to say this while his plan in Iraq has amounted to a twisted version of the advice once offered to Lyndon Johnson about his Iraq, called Vietnam.
Instead of “declare victory and get out” we now have “declare victory and stay indefinitely.”
And also here — we have institutionalized the terrorizing of the opposition.
True domestic terror:
Critics of your administration in the media receive letters filled with fake anthrax.
Braying newspapers applaud or laugh or reveal details the FBI wished kept quiet, and thus impede or ruin the investigation.
A series of reactionary columnists encourages treason charges against a newspaper that published “national security information” that was openly available on the Internet.
One radio critic receives a letter threatening the revelation of as much personal information about her as can be obtained and expressing the hope that someone will then shoot her with an AK-47 machine gun.
And finally, a critic of an incumbent Republican senator, a critic armed with nothing but words, is attacked by the senator’s supporters and thrown to the floor in full view of television cameras as if someone really did want to re-enact the intent — and the rage — of the day Preston Brooks found Sen. Charles Sumner.
Of course, Mr. President, you did none of these things.
You instructed no one to mail the fake anthrax, nor undermine the FBI’s case, nor call for the execution of the editors of the New York Times, nor threaten to assassinate Stephanie Miller, nor beat up a man yelling at Sen. George Allen, nor have the first lady knife Michael J. Fox, nor tell John McCain to lie about John Kerry.
No, you did not.
And the genius of the thing is the same as in King Henry’s rhetorical question about Archbishop Thomas Becket: “Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
All you have to do, sir, is hand out enough new canes.

from the profe's post:
"So now John Kerry has apologized to the troops; apologized for the Republicans' deliberate distortions."
See how they are??? EVERYTHING is the fault of all or some republican.
kerry made a statement he OWNS IT. No one else. And anyone who can read....can see what kerry said. There was NO 'joke' there. And this ISN'T the first time kerry has shown his distain for our troops by insulting their intelligence and their actions.
Was it a 'joke' when he called our Iraqi troops TERRORISTS?????
Was it a joke with he accused our VN vet/POW of horrific war crimes in from of our Senate? Nope.
It's a lifelong pattern of dislike for our military.
READ kerry's own words.....he DOES NOT support a draft....and he doesn't support a volunteer army EITHER. So just HOW do his supporters believe we're EVER going to protect our National interests?
Under ANY extreme liberal, like kerry, we won't be able to do so. THAT'S how wacko they are.
And it's NOT just kerry's OWN comptempt...it represents many of the leaders in the dem party. kennedy, pelosi, etc. The MOST extreme of the dem party.
The Republicans didn't present this in ANY way .....and our vets and currently serving troops didn't find it the least bit funny. Nor did the DECENT dems who TOLD him he needed to apologize to THEM.
He has NOW apologized [read -flipped flopped] after he swore he'd NEVER apologize to ANYONE? Yep....HIS side of the aisle was pressuring him too to apologize. HIS side too KNEW what a put down he AGAIN made about our troops.
He's an elite ultra-progressive-liberal....and it appears they've stolen the party from the more reasonable dems. They've hijacked it....and the moderate dems aren't in agreement with their socialist, anti-American platform NOR do they have such negativity for our military soldiers.
So....let them blame everyone but their man, kerry, who actually INSULTED our troops. Who has CONTINUED to insult and slander our troops. They can NEVER see how harmful their positions/statement's are. They never will.
kerry doesn't stand a chance of getting their parties nomination for '08. He's a LOSER....but he was campaigning with other dems to help get them elected when this happened. THEY cancelled their appearances so they didn't have to stand along side this dispicable person. LOL
He's now morfed into what the liberals have been saying about President Bush....they don't WANT kerry with them....he'll help them LOSE. It's called KARMA.

It is an excellent commentary by Keith Olbermann. Unfortunately Bush and his administration seem to have a large contingent of followers who believe in them without question, only watch Fox News and seem programmed to follow whatever is put forth. It's unsettling that so many minds seemed dulled to the reality of what has happened since Bush was elected.
They so readily jump on a small blurb like Kerry's but openly ignore the consequences of the war and how many innocent people have been killed. They ignore the fact that Cheney cut back the military under Bush Sr. They ignore the fact that the troops were sent to fight a war without the proper equipment and the military is now so desperate it has lowered it's standards and accepts those who do not pass the aptitude or drug tests and those with mental problems. (Yet they obsess over whether a soldier may be gay). They ignore the fact that Bush went to war with no plan and still doesn't have one years later as he sends more troops to be killed each month.
Soldiers who cannot handle the stress of combat are given mind altering drugs and told to smarten up. Soldiers who ask about their promised bonuses are told that they aren't good soldiers because they seem more concerned about money than the job at hand. It's easy to see who owes the troops an apology and it certainly isn't Kerry.

I also wanted to SHARE this text, from yesterdays Imus radio show. I found it priceless that even kerry's FRIEND was telling him to SHUT UP. Knowing the damage he had ALREADY done. lol

The Kerry Kerfuffle
Senator John Kerry called in to Imus this morning.
The conversation went a little something like this:
I-man: "Please stop it. Stop talking. Go home, get on the bike, go wind surfing, anything, stop it. You're going to ruin this."
Kerry: "I'm not gonna let these guys distort something completely out of its context, solely for the purpose of avoiding responsibility, which is what they're doing. Look, everybody knows I botched the joke, it's not the first time anybody's done that."
I-man: "Certainly, it's not the first time you've done it...I know what you meant. But just stop it, I'm begging you. I love you, but just stop it."
Kerry: "Well, I think it's important to talk about Iraq."
I-man: "I'm beggin' you."
Kerry: "I hear you, you do not have to beg, you're my friend, I understand what you're saying. But I'm telling you, I'm not going to let these guys lie and smear and they put their whole machine out to do it, and they ought to
apologize"…

I hope the voters THINK about what putting MORE radical liberals/dems, like kerry and his ilk, in our Congress is going to mean.
So many important areas to be aware they plan on changing IF they get enough political power. I'm praying they don't.
------------
But let's be realistic here....progressive socialists like kerry, kennedy, [vomit] pelosi....want us OUT of Iraq.
But they REFUSE to tell us how THEY plan to protect our Nation. Oh...they do say we can TALK with our terorist enemies....but do YOU THINK these terrorists are 'reasonable' people who want anything other than our total destruction???? I sure don't.
Especially since these liberals don't support our Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act....nor applying ANY measures to capture the terrorist HERE, in our own country.
We would not have caught the ones we have....had it not been for the choice this administration HAS made/taken to protect us....here in America.
When one checks out their past voting records....a HUGE problem can be seen.
So...let's say they gain enough power to force the US to withdraw from Iraq. What happens then?
Besides telling the terrorists they've beat us? They won...we lost.
Do we just sit here and wait to be attacked here again? AQ is in Iraq....fighting us and the Iraqi's who are giving their own lives to for their FREEDOM.
What defenses can America use to do just that?
Well....how I see this situation is under a liberal congress....we won't have any good way to accomplish that. Because of their political positions.....and NOT JUST on the Iraq war issue....they have voted to leave America INCAPABLE of defending our own land/Nation.
They have consistantly voted AGAINST most measures that would/have enabled us to do just that - protect and defend our own land.
They wanted kerry to be president....and he was against MOST defensive bills ......so will HE and all these anti-war liberals put themselves up against the terrorists in our NATION....if and when they're called to action, here in America?
I don't believe cowards would. And imo, they are cowards ....they would do little to protect us...they would be VERY willing to 'compromise' with our enemies - read = give in to their demands....and that shows by what they have supported with their votes in the past 5-6 years....and all they have voted against.
Please be aware BEFORE you place that vote this next Tuesday. IF you want them in control of our congress....then you are encouraging a weaker capability to defend our Nation....because it's NOT a value to them.
They want these funds spent on more social programs....entitlements.
And, imo, having ALL the entitlements in the world.....really won't matter if we can't even defend our own Nation.

Anyone else here find it so amusing that Linduh simply doesn't let go??? Her hatred towards Kerry really shines through, as does her stupidity. I just love to see her rant, especially about stupid topics such as this. Forget the Iraq War, forget North Korea, forget Iran, forget the Bush Administration's Cut and Run policies in Afghanistan, or any of the real problems facing Americans... instead, she wants to rant about someone who simply misspoke. To make matters worse, she quotes only the misspoken sentance, because that is the only means of the Republican Nazi machine to make their point. They purposely ignore sentances prior, where Kerry was in the midst of a series of jokes that led into this poorly worded one.
Everyone misspeaks, and as we all know, George Bush is at the top of the list of misspoken statements. It happens... but stupid people will grab that torch and run with it until they fall flat on their face... this is the perfect example.

Yea, rather let's listen to rustygumbo....who has admitted he's further left than a progressive.
My points aren't isolated to ONLY this most recent smear of our troops from kerry - a LIFELONG pattern of his....many in the dem party have SMEARED our troops during THIS administration - including some liberal posters HERE.
It only shows their OWN hatred for our soldiers/strong military status. I believe intelligent voters are VERY much aware of how the dem party didn't EVER support missile DEFENSE.
So how they expect to allow our military to actually DEFEND this Nation against threatened NW attacks from NK and Iran???....it is BEYOND my reasonable understanding.
They vote against protecting this Nation in SEVERAL ways....then they say we shouldn't go off our shores to STOP these threats BEFORE they occur. We should wait until we're attacked here, on our OWN soil
How will we defend our own soil.....I ask WITH WHAT???
That isn't very smart.....especially coming from a party that doesn't vote to give this country the means to PROTECT itself from incoming rockets. Pretty dumb thinking on their part, imo.
I think most adults can remember reading the dems/liberals calling our troops terrorists, warmongers, murders. Criticizing their actions to protect one another....to 'weed out' the terrorists in Iraq who were MURDERING our troops. Yea....and blaming our troops for all SORTS of unproven actions against the 'poor Iraqi victims'.
They weren't taking our SOLDIERS sides...saying SHOW ME THE PROOF against them FIRST. NOPE....they were pronouncing them GUILTY as charged....even when it was our enemies making the charges.
I don't think MOST American's call that SUPPORT by ANY stretch of the imagenation.
Those statements come from A far left base that LIES about supporting them. And they don't see a NEED for a strong defense/military.
Nope...but it is very representative of their common positions AGAINST almost ALL American actions. kerry's their chosen LEADER....but he most certainly isnt alone in all who DO support HIS positions. They have taken over the dem party...these extremists....and that's nothing but bad for America's future.
Take note....they haven't JUST been bashing THIS administration. IF you've read their posts/their political POSITIONS....they've been AGAINST MOST of American POLICIES....even under a dem admin.
Yep...put those dems in power and soon we'll be at war here....right in your own home town.
They usually side with our enemies. saddam thanked THEM for supporting HIM right before we invaded.
And, of course, so did the communist leaders in VN. They HONORED those American traitors like kerry, fonda, etc....who worked for their side....against America.
And now they're repeating the process....give up....admit defeat...and RUN from those who have stated their goal is to destroy us.
These can't possibly be the people most American's want to see in power - the anti-American, radical left.

What would a Democrat president have done at that point? Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack.

Where else can she find the attention that she enjoys here. Bigpeepa's irate caps aimed her way, your appreciation of the show and the various and sundry grunts and chants suffice now to give her a reason to be....a reason to frown while grinning...a reason to scream while laughing.

ROFLMHO.....look who's here posting.....conrade helen.
...who goes around to other boards telling them how she DOESN'T POST AT THE RT any longer....because only the lowest scumbags are still here.
She puts herself out of that catagory she sets.....but then CONTINUES TO COME HERE TO POST AWAY.
See...I've long told everyone what a LIAR she is....and she's proved it again.

On a side note just for comrad helen.....I got a HUGE laugh out of your post on TRB....where you lied again by making some untrue comment about how you don't take what's said on one board to another. LOL LOL LOL
You did that ALL the time here....bringing otwa threads here.
Who do you REALLY think you were fooling? Not those who are aware of your lying ways.
