Here's to the Democratics getting majority in the Senate and Congress - it's about d@mn time. Maybe they will start holding Bush accountable for all this crap - cuz god knows the republican are not!!
Impeachment!
LMAO
Oh maybe I should not say that cuz now that Bush signed that bill to get rid of Habas Corpus then I could be deemed as a 'terrorist' or and 'enemy' and get arested and not have any rights at all!!!!!!!!!What has this world come to??????? Oh that's right - we have a weasel for a president.... God Bless us All.

To add to my post..... The republicans have completely blown this out of proportion and they knew EXACTLY what Kerry was meaning to say. They are jusy tryin to take away from the election and the fact that the republicans are STUPID!

I really don't think he meant it the way it was taken. When I heard it I thought he was meaning that if you don't study you might have no other option than going into the service. I didn't at all take it that he was demeaning the wonderful people who are serving in our military.
How can anything he says hurt the democrats any worse than Bush has hurt the republicans? Maybe we need to revive the Bull Moose Party!

No he NEVER saw combat, nor did Rumsfeld nor Cheney . . . I'd think the troops would be pissed about that! I know I would!

I think its definetly gonna affect the democrats which sucks, but i also believe that what he said was aimed at the president and he just placed words wrong. It was a simple mistake and its gotten out of hand. he screwed up what he was saying

I agree. I think he was trying to point out the way the Bush administration is. Some people may not realize it, but since he has taken office, and moreso since he implemented the no child left behind act, Bush has used the info to campaign HEAVILY in inner city, low income and low performance schools for military recruitment. If you research this, you will find that since the military now gets more info on school records, they seek out students who don't perform well, or don't have a lot of money, because their statistics show it's easier to recruit those kids. Kerry should have worded his statement very differently though, because it was easily misconstrued to sound like only uneducated, low income people go into the military, which is not true at all.

It is possible it will hurt him in the election, because while it was not intended to put down the troops, but Bush and his lie induced state of war, taking it out of context and accusing him of putting down the troops is not good for his campaign.
Since the attack of 9/11 the right wing knee-jerk nationalist fundamentalists have been having a hayday in American anyway. It is only through exposing the current administrations lies and the over 800 US laws they are violating daily, not to mention violating treaties, the Geneva convention etc, that there is any hope for rational thought returning to the American people.

You people didn't listen to his entire speech - just what Fox news wants to tell you. He was bashing Bush to begin with and it all kinda flowed together. They are just showing the public that certain quote and making it seem like it was bashing the troops.

Keep talking, Girl, and maybe they'll hear you! Kerry botched a joke, that was aimed at the President and his adminstration ONLY, and the repubs are doing everything in their power to blow it out of proportion and twist it all out of shape! Fox news is idiotic, Fox news panders to the repubs, Fox news is a sore on America's behind!

The only way it wouldn't hurt him is if the unintelligent people anywhere didn't realize it was a put down. How crazy for him to say such things! Worst part is he now denies ever saying it.... What's that all about? Question now is.....do you think anyone in the Armed Forces would want to protect him after saying such a ridiculous thing?

Yeah - a put down to our president!! I don't think of it as being a put-down to the Americans - so am *I* unitellegent?? I think the unintellegent ones are the ones who think it was solely about the TROOPS. He was talking about BUSH!

I am sure it will hurt him, and his chances of running for President, as even if this was a Joke, and a slip up, he should have Read the whole thing as it was intended to be Read. As for hurting the other Democrats... unless they are backing him up and making a Big deal of it like the Democrats do, I see no reason it should even effect them.\
But one thing I have learned, when it comes to Politics, is that everyone tends to think they are better than the next person, and know everything. But have they ever walked in someone elses shoes to really prove they are better?

I don't think it was a "slip up" - he meant to put down Bush. It's easy to.

I definitely think that it will hurt Kerry's chances in the upcoming election. Hopefully it won't hurt other democrat's chances because after all they didn't say that comment, Kerry did.

He is now saying that it was suppose to be a jab at Bush, but when I heard it I was sitting on the couch next to my air force fiance! My fiance busted his butt through high school and went into the military. He ended up in Iraq and I would like to think hes not stupid! I do think this is going to hurt him and many other democrats in the upcoming election. I dont see how he can change it around and make that comment something positive. Do we ever know why they say some of the stupid things they say? This is really going to effect his chances in the election.

Kerry was talking about HISTORY, but flubbed it. How we needed to educate ourselves so we would never make the same mistakes others have made in the past. It was an itellectual comment that he flubbed in translation. His fault. But remember this: Kerry SERVED IN COMBAT for crying out loud, which Bush never did! And Kerry has done more for American troops and their families in Iraq than probably any other senator than John McCain. Look up his congressional votes if you need more proof. Do not count on the media or anyone else for unbiased and educated edidence. Think for yourself, after you've looked at the FACTS. John Kerry does not hate the military. He hates what Bush has done to them, and America as a whole.

I don't know that it will hurt the Democrats. Anyone can pretty much see that his assinine comments/beliefs are not shared by others. I have heard that he was thinking of running for president in 2008, and if he thought he had a chance, he can definately kiss that goodbye.

I don't think so at all. Anyone who is smart will look at the ENTIRE story and see that his remark was made at BUSH!

Well if you knew what he was talking about you would not be posting this.
If you would have seen his entire speech he was bashing Bush and that comment was meant as BUSH being stupid to get us into this crap in the first place. He was NOT calling the troops stupid and unintellegent. He was referring to our stupid @ss president.
