Kerry: Prez has last chance to `get it right'
Boston Herald ^ | 1/31/05 | AP

Posted on 01/31/2005 2:45:39 AM PST by kattracks

Sen. John Kerry [related, bio] yesterday described the elections in Iraq as ``significant'' and ``important'' but said they should not be ``overhyped.''
      ``It is hard to say that something is legitimate when whole portions of the country can't vote and doesn't vote,'' the Massachusetts Democrat said in an interview on NBC's ``Meet the Press.''
     Although the Bush administration has said the mere fact that elections take place is a huge sign of progress, Sen. Kerry said the next step is more important.
     ``What the administration does in these next few days will decide the outcome of Iraq. And this is - not may be - this is the last chance for the president to get it right,'' Kerry said, urging Bush to involve other nations in training Iraqis to take responsibility for their own security.


     Kerry rejected a recent call by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio] (D-Mass.) for an immediate withdrawal of some American forces, a call Kennedy repeated yesterday.
     ``The best way to demonstrate to the Iraqi people that we have no long-term designs on their country is for the administration to withdraw some troops now'' and negotiate further withdrawals, Kennedy said in a statement.

He's exported the hackneyed democrapic party mantra out of Florida..."people were denied the right to vote...", to Iraq.
It's all he has to say, even though it's been proven that democraps have given the right to vote to more than a few dead people!

So much the better if they do run Kerry in 2008. We will elect a new Republican president and increase the Republican majorities in both houses of Congress.

No way. Not going to happen. There is no loyalty among RATS. Once a RAT stumbles, that's the end.

Besides, they already have a candidate. And when she claps her thunder thighs, the entire RAT party will tremble with desire to do her bidding.

Kerry will be long forgotten. As Mick Jagger once said,
"Who wants yesterdays papers
Who wants yesterdays girl
Who wants yesterdays papers
Nobody in the world "

That's the way the RAT brain works.

Kerry is Yesterday.

It has become a fetish with John F. Kerry that the French should be allowed to screw up in Iraq. The process will not be complete until there is a bumbling French response followed by ignominious withdrawl at the first sight of blood.

And the World just doesn't have enough expansionist German imperialism. It just doesn't feel right to not have a German jack-boot pressed against somebody's face somewhere in the World...

"Overhyped" seems to be the operative word here.....

Hmmmm...can we all say, "3 purple heart war hero that never spent a moment in a hospital?"

Kerry is OVERHYPE!

From a dim perspective, he's right: They don't want it talked about too much, because it's further proof of just how stupid these looney left-wingers are.

Kerry and Kennedy should both be locked up somewhere.

Kerry's appearance on Meet The Press yesterday was horrific. The people of this country should be thankful that Bush won - I believe the majority of the people are. I know I am.

I didn't comment on Kerry's MTP appearance yesterday, because it seemed like a waste of electrons.

Upon reflection, it reveals the Democrats utter disdain for elections and the constitutional process.

This was the most disgraceful action by a defeated national candidate in a long time, if not ever.

The sovereigns in this land heard Senator Kerry's arguments over and over again from mid-2003 until November 2, 2004.

He, and his arguments, lost.

That doesn't mean the arguments were wrong. But it does mean that the questions that he opened were resolved in the negative, at least for now.

President Mubarak, to take one of Kerry's complaints yesterday, won't be helping us train Iraqis. After we train a few Egyptians, there won't even BE a President Mubarak.

John Kerry-YOU LOST. STFU.

Tim Russert-for SHAME!

If it weren't for Boxer and Kennedy, Kerry (et al) might never have the opportunity to sound so, um, "centrist".

Make no mistake about it, Mr. John Kerry is both a traitor and lunatic, just like Al Gore, Teddy Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, and the rest of the entire Democrat "traitor" Party!!!

When is the President going to remind this POS, that the Executive Branch (President) sets foreign policy, not some loser Communist sympathizer, who happens to be a senator.

JFK reminds you of someone who can't see that it has passed them by. You just can't see how foolish you look. Your cohorts won't tell you how embarrassing you look because you'll never believe them anyway. Eventually you become the democrats inside joke and John is fast approaching this point.

Is this the same John Kerry that went to a photo-op and found that there was a war going on?
