He'll never give an apology. You need to know John Kerry. He's never wrong. And if he is, he certainly won't admit it in public! NEVER! This goes on THROUGH election day. Dems will commit suicide trying to throw him under a bus, but the bus will run them all over...
sKerry's arrogance knows no bounds. I hope he keeps on digging himself in even deeper (and thus his own party...).
You could be right. JFK doesn't have a moral bone in his body and such things are foreign to him. He is a blue-blooded nothing sucking at the teat of privelage.
Last week I heard the father of a soldier who recently died in Iraq on the Laura Ingrahm show. That man spoke so proudly of his son and at times his voice cracked. Tears spilled down my face as I pondered the loss of a child. And yet it's how we do in this country. Our CITIZENS provide a military that not only protects our country but also the entire planet! What would this Earth place be like were it not for the American military? The mind boggles at the thought.
As bad as I hurt for that man who lost his 20-year old son, when Kerry made those mean remarks I got nauseous. How on earth could anyone, especially a U.S. Senator, say such a mean and nasty thing? Sure I'm on the pubbie side and the political benefit is not lost on me.
Even so, it's waaaaaay more than a political benefit to me. Kerry's remarks hurt me to the core.
I suspect the Dem party is going to have disown this man completely. I see no other way out for the Dems. Unless they hold a knife to Kerry's throat and make him apologize and frankly I don't think even that's going to do it.
The only definitive statement the opposition party can make regarding their vapid and very mean 2004 presidential candidate is to vanish him from the public eye.
For JFK made the worst mistake an American politician can make. He spit in the eye of the mighty Middle class, that vast demograph of American citizens who carry this country on their back. The Middle Class carries this country on its back; not the politicians, not Hollywood. We provide the soldiers for our military, not the politicians, not Hollywood. Any seasoned politico knows not to step on the mighty but often silent Middle class. Well damn, we're too busy carrying this country on our back, raising the soldiers and citizens of tomorrow, working and raising the economic status of not only the U.S., but the entire planet.
The political junkee side of my brain ponders what the Dems are going to do. They've got a nuke on their hands now and Kerry's timing was sooooo perfect, direct in the middle of the news cycle, one week before an important election. I write fiction and couldn't have come up with this Perfect Storm.
The emotional side of me desperately wants Kerry eliminated from the national scene. What he said was so damn mean and frankly, I am embarrassed. Let's hope our military believes us, the silly, non-blue-blooded minions of the Middle Class, that we in no way agree with John Kerry.
I really hurt for what Kerry said. The Dems really need to do the right thing here, on so many levels.
