Kerry: Republicans to pay heavy price for Iraq war (GAG ALERT)
ABC News ^ | Oct. 30, 2006 | Michael Rowland

Posted on 10/29/2006 8:56:58 PM PST by FairOpinion

John Kerry must be ruing the fact this year's mid-term elections are not a presidential poll.

The rising tide of public discontent with the Republicans has come two years too late for the 2004 Democrat nominee but this has not stopped him barnstorming the country on behalf of his party's congressional candidates.

Looking much better in person than the cadaver that he often comes across as on TV, Senator Kerry said the war in Iraq was an enormous issue in this campaign and that the Bush administration was simply unwilling to acknowledge the mistakes that have been made since the 2003 invasion.

He believes the Republicans are about to pay a heavy political price for the mishandling of the whole Iraq adventure.

Still victory in just one chamber and the power base it would give the relevance starved Democrats, threatens to turn Mr Bush into a lame duck President for his final two years in office.

It is almost enough to bring a grin to Senator Kerry's notoriously wooden face.

"Looking much better in person than the cadaver that he often comes across as on TV, " -- some compliment, LOL

"It is almost enough to bring a grin to Senator Kerry's notoriously wooden face." -- I guess the writer of the article is not exactly a Kerry fan. :)

Isn't this the war Kerry voted for (before he voted against it)?

And better than the hopes of the POWs and MIAs he abandoned--SCORNED--along with McCain--in Vietnam....

How he can sleep at night is a mystery to me. Even more of a mystery is how a plurality of voters can let him stay in office and look at themselves in the mirror.

He ought to know about paying a heavy price. How much money did he waste on his '04 presidential campaign?

I hope he rots in hell for what he's doing to this country and causing American deaths.

He believes the Republicans are about to pay a heavy political price for the mishandling of the whole Iraq adventure not electing THEE John Kerry as their president. After all, he did serve in Viet Nam for 3 whole months.

I gues we'll find out in little over a week if this true, or just more fabricated "discontent.

I still can't fathom how so many people of any political persuasion could have adopted this transparently empty-headed, arrogant windbag as their candidate for anything. I can only guess that it indicates the blindness of their partisanship.

"Looking much better in person than the cadaver that he often comes across as on TV ..."

This goes beyond "faint praise". This is sort of bated, bland, bleached, blurred, breathless, deadened, deep, delicate, dim, distant, dull, dusty, faded, faltering, far-off, feeble, gentle, hazy, hoarse, hushed, ill-defined, imperceptible, inaudible, indistinct, lenient, light, low, low-pitched, mild, moderate, muffled, murmuring, muted, muttering, obscure, padded, pale, piano, quiet, remote, shadowy, slight, smooth, soft, softened, soothing, stifled, subdued, tenuous, thin, unclear, vague, wan, weak, whispered praise.

Or perhaps, delicate, dizzy, drooping, enervated, exhausted, faltering, fatigued, feeble, fragile, languid, lethargic, light-headed, rocky, slight, tender, unenthusiastic, woozy praise.

(Thanks to Thesaurus.com.)
