Kerry: Iraq Election No Big Deal
NewsMax.com ^ | 1/30/05 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 01/30/2005 9:31:32 AM PST by kattracks

A bitter-sounding Sen. John Kerry dismissed the historic Iraqi election on Sunday, warning Americans not to "overhype" the watershed event.

"No one in the United States should try to overhype this election," Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press." The failed presidential candidate questioned the historic referendum's legitimacy, saying, "It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote."

Kerry also pooh-poohed reports of a surprisingly high 72 percent turnout by Iraqi voters, insisting instead that the election has "gone as expected."

Asked if he thought Iraq was now less of a terrorist threat, Kerry at first said, "No, it's more. And, in fact, I believe the world is less safe today than it was two and a half years ago."

But he changed his answer moments later, after "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert pressed him on the bizarre claim.

"I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone, and I've said that a hundred times," he insisted.

John Kerry is a bitter man. The more he talks, the more the Bush voters are vindicated.

John F'in Kerry should have resigned his Senate seat and run as a candidate in Iraq's elections, representing al Qaeda, of course.

As incompetent a politician as he is however, he would have lost that election too.

I can hear the Kerry/Iraq campaign mullah babbling now "let every ink-stained finger count!!!!"

Kerry had one shot---when he ran as a "moderate" war hero. That fell apart under scrutiny and he can't fly under the radar any more. With every day he proves his voting history--the most far left wing member of the Senate. He will never get the nomination again--even the RATS are not that stupid.

You know the beautiful part of these former democratic presidential candidates is that when they do not have their handlers whispering in thier ears we get to see their true psychopathic selves and breathe a huge grateful sigh of relief that they lost.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Millions of voters turned out and yet the dems will find a way to rain on the parade. I'm convinced the US will be a conservative country for many, many years to come.

The very junior senator (the soberer one) from MA is rapidly becoming an Al Gore/Michael Moore, that is, a nobody. In a few years, quiz shows will ask who was the Demcoratic candidate in 2004 who ran against former President George W. Bush? Until last year, few people in the US ever heard of John Kerry, and in a few years it will revert back again.
What a sad experience for those decent people in Massachusetts, however, to be saddled with two of the greatest losers in the country as their US Senators. I refer, of course, to thoso folks in Massachusetts who had the sense not to vote for either fool.

in January 2005

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress

By SAMUEL Z. GOLDHABER

"...One time Kerry was ordered to destroy a Viet Cong village
but disobeyed orders and suggested that the Navy Command
simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be
friend the villagers with food, hospital supplies,
and better educational facilities."

He was in command of a Swift Boat

Hanoi Kerry STILL goes unpunished.

U.S. Constitution Amendment XIV

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States,

shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Hang your heads in shame!

You remain silent while Hanoi Kerry betrays our troops to our enemies.

So when you wake up in the morning,
and look in the mirror,
before you go to the US Senate,
or to the TV or Radio studios,
know that you did nothing to remove this traitor.

Well REAL Americans know what you did NOT do!
