It's interesting that most of the Representatives are from southern or mid western, or western states.

We have over 200 GOP members in the House. Why aren't they on the ball. They need to be alert, they need to move quickly when they have a hand with 4 aces....We should have had a news alert with all Republican names on it. Where are they?

My son is in the military and I'm very offended. I don't want a forced apology. I want him out of office. Resigned, indicted, I don't care.

Me too. Wait until the furor starts to die down a bit before fueling the fire. Oh well, Kerry will say some other stupid thing to keep it going until the elections.

Unless John Kerry releases the documents to prove otherwise, I believe that he received a Dishonorable Discharge because of his aiding the enemy by meeting with them -- giving a photo opportunity and a publicity stunt to try to end the Vietnam War.

I believe that Kerry pulled strings and somehow got it through Congress to change his discharge to "Honorable."

Until I see otherwise, I shall always believe this.

I invite you, Mr. Kerry, to prove me wrong! Sign the document which will release your service records to the public!

Republicans say something nice about Strom Thurman at his celebration "he'd be a good president" and they lose leadership posts. Democrats directly insult our troops and they get CBS/CNN/ABC/MSNBC making explanations for him.
Real nice!!

Where have they been hiding for the last 6 years. Between kerry Kennedy, Hillary, and harry Reid there are a dozen times they should have spoken up and asked for an apology.

NOW THAT THEY THINK THEY HAVE A NO-BRAINER THEY WANT TO SPEAK UP.

Bad call. I would insist that he doesn't apologize. After all, he meant exactly what he said and I wouldn't give the opportunity to even appear supportive of our military.

Wonder how Cindy Sheehan feels about Kerry's comments about her son and others. Especially since he went back for a second tour.

[ 29 House Republicans Demand Kerry Apologize ]

Thats a mistake, they SHOULD be demanding that the democrat party apologize for KERRY.. -OR- come out in support of his statement.. Which they have all stated in other terms anyway..

Its refreshing to see Moonbats flying into WALLS..

Kerry needs to resign.

STARE DECISIS - Trent Lott had to resign as Senate Majority Leader for a private party and salutation to fellow Senator Strom Thurmond (age 99 or 100).

The dems demanded Lott resign. The media demanded Lott resign.

STARE DECISIS! Kerry must resign!

I have called my 2 Senators and my Congressman. Surprisingly the 2 Republican senators said the usual, ok , I'll pass it on but my Democratic Congressman's office knew exactly what I was talking about. I got the feeling he had received many calls which might mean that Democrats and Independents are upset about this too. I can't think of much else that could get the country so united on something than slamming our kids, regardless of your view on the war.

Just fired off the following to my Rep, John Spratt:

Your silence on the Kerry matter is deafing. As a member of the House Armed Services committee, you should have been out front in condeming his words. Your party, like Kerry, have attempted to spin this into a joke gone bad. With his track record, do you really want to stick with that position? If so, you need to resign from the Committee. The men and women you claim to serve desrve better.

I see Alabama politicians are distinguished here by their absence. I'm getting ready to e-mail my congressman and demand that he add his name to this list. I also want to know why none of the Repubs in Congress have called for Kerry's resignation.

Yep- Old Kerry 'apologized' alright- he came out and basically accused people (and we all know who he meant) of misinterpreting his 'botched joke' and forcing him to issue an apologize- Why those dirty Republicans- making that poor Senator have to apologize for something he didn't do. Sigh,

I called my Dem congressman's,(Boyd, FL) office and asked that he call for an apology, not only to my warrior son, but to our family was we are enraged at Kerry's thoughtless remark.

I have not seen his name signed to any such request. A Democrat representing a Republican district. He brings so much money to the district that people keep voting for him.

This isn't my first brush with Boyd. I call and email regularly to express my displeasure. He toes the party line and is totally partisan. We have much work to do here in NW Florida!

Looks like Florida, has more reps signed up than any other state. That is good to see. It is dishearteneing to have a partisan Dem for your rep though. Makes you want to move.
