KERRY ON KERRY: RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE
National Review The Corner ^ | March 19, 2004 | Rich Lowrey

Posted on 03/19/2004 4:32:54 PM PST by EllaMinnow

This is from "Face the Nation" on September 14, 2003:

Sen. KERRY: I think we need--I think we need to roll back the top end of the Bush tax cut.

McMANUS: If that amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?

Sen. KERRY: I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to--to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible. What is responsible is for the administration to do this properly now. And I am laying out the way in which the administration could unite the American people, could bring other countries to the table, and I think could give the American people a sense that they're on the right track. There's a way to do this properly. But I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job.

Look, we could--we could do this job over a period of time at greater loss, at greater risk, and with much loss around the world with respect to the United States. The question is will we do this the best way possible so that we do the best to protect our troops and the best to advance the safety and security of the United States?

SCHIEFFER: Senator, let me...

Sen. KERRY: My plan will do that.

This Ad is likely the MOST damaging ad of all..

Kerry has a lot of explaining to do on that "no" vote..

39 dim senators voted yea in that bill, Kerry and Edwards voted no..

Saw this on Fox earlier.

If Bush just runs against Kerry's record, it won't even be close.

Thank you for posting this.

To all:

Special Report played this "Face the Nation" segment during their roundtable. Bill Kristol said both Kerry and Edwards ended up voting against (as we all know) the aid to our troops. A reckless vote indeed. Oh, they said the revelation of this tape had caused quite a stir in Washington today. I'll bet! I'll bet the dems are wondering what to do with this bozo.

For those who wish to see Kerry uttering these words, watch Special Report repeat later.

Thanks again for leaving me absolutely flabbergasted, I mean for the ping! Can't wait to catch Brit rebroadcast here here (CA) at 9!

There is so much that can be done with his own words. Kerry v Kerry: his own worst enemy.
