And Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who have given their lives in this. This is an absolute insult." (White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, Briefing, 10/31/06)

John Kerry-the gift that keeps on giving. :^D

The
Best
Halloween
Gift
Ever.

[MNJohnnie]

Thank you John Kerry for undoing, 1 week before the elections, the multi million dollar 2 year effort of the Democrat Party to supress Conservative Voter turnout.

"John Kerry-the gift that keeps on giving."

That is funny, I said the exact same thing to my husband just 5 minutes before I came on here! LOL Kerry is still being a sore loserman from the '04 election. What a long faced baby.

[Apercu]

When are we going to finally see a copy of John F'n Kerry's (who by the way served in Viet Nam) Bad Conduct Discharge?

[LegalEagle61]

Yes, i thought Rove was going to give us our October Surprise, but Kerry beat him to it! Thanks Kerry!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Nice post, great links! Happy Halloween to Conservatives, thanks to Kerry. *SMIRK*

[dead]

Let's not forget Kerry's biggest troop slandering moment, said before congress, while his "brothers in arms" were out there dying in the battlezone.

[kjo]

This ain't going away. Let's hope he's stupid enough to continue stonewalling. Let the anger build.

A classic case of backpedaling if there ever was one.

The Junior Senator from Mass. is a buffoon.

[YoungSoutherner]

I don't know if anyone paid much attention to the fact that he made these statements in California and Seattle. This idiot has enough common sense not to come down south and say this.

[MEGoody]

Sorry, Johnny, but you called the troops uneducated, and everyone knows it. And it will be remembered, at least by some, come election day.

[LegalEagle61]

"Let's hope he's stupid enough to continue stonewalling"

I don't think we have to HOPE too much about that! LOL!

[Wombat101]

Look up "rectum" in the dictionary and I'm sure you'll find Mr. Kerry's picture next to the definition.

Too bad one of those self-inflicted wounds you spent four months collecting (after receiving five draft deferments and then voluntgerring for service that you hoped would keep you out of real combat forever, before you turned traitor and avoided the court-martial and conviction that you so richly deserved, but were saved from by that other naval-officer-turned-traitor, Jimmy Carter) didn't turn gangrenous and spare us your absurdity.

[Nachum]

No apologies! You go John! You tell it like it is. I want you to repeat this message as often as you can and I want the msm to broadcast every word.

Just remember John, it is exactly like Viet Nam! We're all on your side man. Call Jane Fonda and get her up there with you. No more apologies!

[baseball_fan]

Rep. Duncan Hunter on Fox News this afternoon after Kerry declined to apologize told the story that his son who graduated from college and had a good job was running sprints one day up a hill. He asked him what gives, and his son said he had joined the Marines to go serve. The bottom line: its our best and brightest who are in Iraq, its not some dumping ground. (Rep. btw has announced he is running for President in '08.)

Brit Hume this afternoon also made the point that Kerry twice voted to send troops to Iraq. But that was left out of Kerry's comments to the school kids.

"John Kerry-the gift that keeps on giving. :^D"

You are so right, let him rant.
He just mkes the Right look so good.
He will never see the day to be President of this great country.
Now he has the Swift Boat vets really angry, just wait for the fallout.
It's coming, may be next month, may be next year.
Swift Boat vets don't forget.

[shankbear]

His old long slumping face is going to need about a gallon of Botox after this .

[HighlyOpinionated]

Cindy Sheehan's son was a flunk-out, so he volunteered for the military and even went back to Iraq for a second tour of duty (which he wouldn't have done had he made better grades in math).

So if he was a flunk-out, does that make her a flunkee?
