Members chris-dax Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Dems Join GOP Seeking Kerry Apology Nov 01 11:55 AM US/Eastern By JENNIFER LOVEN Associated Press Writer 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 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. "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. A spokesman for Democratic congressional candidate Bruce Braley in Iowa said Braley had decided independently to cancel an event with Kerry scheduled for Thursday. Meredith Salsbery, a spokeswoman for congressional candidate Tim Walz, said Kerry made the final decision but acknowledged campaign officials were worried that the controversy would distract from his effort to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Gil Gutknecht. Kerry spokesman David Wade confirmed he no longer would appear at a Philadelphia rally on Wednesday for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bob Casey. Sen. John McCain said Wednesday he wasn't sure "how you could construe" Kerry's comment as a joke. "As it stands, he owes an apology to the men and women who are serving in Iraq out of patriotism and love of country, not because of any academic deficiencies," McCain said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

I agree that Kerry wrapped up a big ol' Election Day present with a pretty bow and handed it to the RNC. Democrats could've simply kept their mouths shut for the next six days and rejoiced... but when was a politician ever able to keep his/her mouth shut? Your comment on Democrats and Kerry despising the military are hilarious though. Needlessly feeding kids into a meat grinder for nothing is way more despicable than an ill-considered remark at the podium. As for Kerry's "accusations", some members of the military have already been convicted of exactly that, with more courts-martial on the way. More people have died in swimming pools deaths since 9/11 than actually died on 9/11, yet we've spent over $150 million per 9/11 victim in the War on Terror. Who is it that's misunderstanding the issue again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as many Democrats in Congress and the Senate have served in the Armed Forces as Republicans, if not more. Including Kerry. Further, the popular line is to blame Clinton for the military budget cuts of Bush I/Cheney. Party of Personal Responsibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SunRaFan Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Kerry drives me nuts. I don't understand how you can be a career politician and constantly get stuck with your foot in your mouth. The initial comment is certainly in bad taste, whether or not it was intentional. The thing that really bugs me his how lame is his response to the controversy is. He has plenty of time to prepare a good response. I agree that he shouldn't apologize. Every time the right tries to attack the left for being unpatriotic and not supporting the troops, the right should turn those charges right back in their faces. Kerry could say "I don't want anybody to be stuck in Iraq, and I want all of the troops there to come home safely. It's a disgrace that we're asking them to risk there lives in a mission with no tangible goals, and under incompetent leadership. Anyone who truelly supports the troops should be demanding an immediate replacement of the Secretary of Defense and a clear plan for ending our occupation of Iraq. Patriotism demands no less than that." One reason the left always looks so weak is they respond so weakly to direct attacks on their patriotism. They need to show that they won't simply take charges like that laying down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth B. Mehlman is the chairman of the RNC, would you call him the head of the Republican Party? Ed Gillespie was the chairman before him, was he the leader of the Republican Party?

Even though the news media maybe rallying around him, his fellow Dems are putting as much distance between themselves and Kerry as possible. I didn't know hybrids could burn rubber like that.
