FLASH: McCain Calls On Kerry To Apologize
drudge ^ | 10/31/2006 | milwguy

Posted on 10/31/2006 8:59:29 AM PST by milwguy

Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.

When McCain is good, he is very, very good. And he's right on this time.

It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.

It disgusts me that democrat losers, who have never had to bear the responsibility of being president lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those that have.

I am a voting resident of Arizona. I sent McCain a note letting him know it is the first time in a long time he has done something I approve of. Asking the traitor Kerry to apologize was the right thing to do.

Kerry is a democrat dangit and he doesn't have to apologize for anything- Troop bashing is his right! Disparaging soldiers is his forte, Being a scum is his ideology. Kerry is getting worse and worse and his actions are both despicable and shameful.

"Not a big john mccain fan, but a great slapdown. Just hope the MSM gives this the traction it deserves. Will serve to remind voters why Dems are not to be trusted with our security"

Ditto that.

BTW, did you know that John Kerry was in Vietnam?

Kerry will do what he always does--come out swinging as the aggreived party and looking like the mushy liberal wimp victim he is.

McCain has now joined the Sen. who bitchslapped Kennedy as the two RINOs showing real Republicans how to win a streetfight.

Here ya go, I'll raise the rhetoric with some links from the 2004 campaign:

Kerry knows some things about dishonesty. The treasonous dishonesty and corruption within the VVAW was clearly evident when Kerry Betrayed the U.S. by Supporting the Enemy During the Vietnam War. His astounding history of betrayal did not end there. With his usual complete lack of concern for America's serivcemen, Kerry Betrayed American POWs With Lies About the Vietnam War.

BTW, when is John F. Kerry going to actually send in that Form SF-171 that he said he signed?

That's unintentionally funny. A SF171 is an Application for Federal Employment.

This is simmering hostility towards the Swift Boat Vets for ending the myth of Kerry as a Vietnam hero. That simmering anger towards his fellow Swift Boat officers and the GOP boiled over today in this angry, juvenile statement from Kerry.

Best thing I've heard McCain say in years. I'll follow his lead on this one.

I think this Kerry stuff needs to stay at the top for the rest of the campaign.

This could nationalize the election in a way the dems didn't expect.

"Kerry will apologize, say he didn't mean it the way it came out, remind us that he was in the service in Vietnam. He will ignore the fact that he only went in the Navy after he was refused a deferment to continue studies in Paris, and only served in Vietnam because the type of vessel he was on was then assigned for Vietnam duty, which then required three invented Purple Hearts to escape from the assigment and get back to the States."

To start his Anti American Anti War rantings which he parlayed into a career as a do nothing Senator from the Communist bastion of Massatwoshits.
