I'm torn here: I was tickled to see (hear) Kerry once again put his foot in his mouth, but then my man George goes and does the same thing with his comment about people in public service ought to know the value of words....or words to that effect. Heheheh, this from the author of "Bush-speak". Politicians, in general, are good for comic relief, if nothing else.

Sorry, but I just don't understand why democrats keep getting the title "elitist." I think that should be reserved for politicians in general.

It's not like the GOP really gives a damn about the little guy, either. They just say they do.

The only real difference is the democrats are stupid enough to say it "to your face" so to speak, while Republicans lie to your face and serve their own interests, same as any other senator, behind your back.

Let's face it... They're all in it for only one thing: $$$

the east coast democrats (mostly Mass.) are the genuine elitists and those from California are the commie socialists. All the other democrats are just varying degrees of either.

Kerry is not stupid, nor an idiot. He typifies the 'born with a silver spoon in his mouth' person. Someone who has never had to work for anything in his entire life.

When he tries to talk to people who have done nothing but work for everything in thier entire lives, he is completely outside of his realm and comes off sounding ignorant. His ignorance is simply due to his life style and upbringing. He has no experience with what it is like to be a common person.

Unfortunately, this is not the exception as it pertains to politicians in our country.

Looks more like "born with a silver foot in his mouth".

see. i think that either side wasting my time with this kind of babble when there are real issues to be addressed as a bit retarded.

not pointing you out specifically mace, and i understand your point, but it seems that the arguements are getting more and more superficial and ridiculous as each political cycle rolls by.

this hurts everyone because there are alot of friggin people dying in the world right now and so many things that make what kerry or anyone said a triffling of an idea of an issue

so what.

he said that.

he isnt running.

next.

The point is, Kerry is representative of his party. You forget, the Democrats overwhelmingly chose him as their candidate for President, because they believe as he does, and thought he'd win. The key being they believe as he does.

i don't see how the democrats are really looking at anyone clearly.

lets talk in issues rather than generalities shall we?

Actually, he is running. That's the unfortunant part of the 365 day a year election cycle that we now have.

Let's say though you want to talk specifics. The specific problem is that Democrats, Kerry in particular, have absolutely no specific answers to a damn thing. The specific problem is that they are superficial, you cannot name one specific policy or plan to do anything. That is a very specific problem and why the Democrat party is no longer a serious political party, it is much more of a cult.

Uh, it is not the party's fault. It is our fault. If you are going to assess blame as to what is wrong with the political parties, start with the people who put them in the position they are in. Us.

It is easy to blame the politicians for all our problems. I am guilty of laying blame on the worthless-toad-sucking-monkeys as well.

But the real fault is ours. We vote them into office. Once there, we allow them to do what they want. It is within our power to stop this, but we will not do it. It is easier to blame them, than to accept responsibility for our own lack of action.

Instead of doing something about it, we post worthless dribble on a bulletin board espousing how they do it all wrong and how someone else might do it better, or worse. Does anyone really expect that to change anything?

i think we do skuzzy. (make a difference by posting here)

if the web is a network, then we are most certainly communicating with other nodes external to another persons understanding or meeting right?

This is not an isolated incident with Kerry--aside from the Winter Soldier hearings, in which he repeated heresay under oath, as FACT, there is this gem:

Quote

When he ran for Congress in 1972, he said he was against an all-volunteer Army - like the one we have now - because it would be full of lowlife thugs who would be more likely to be involved in "war crimes."

"I am convinced a volunteer Army would be an Army of the poor and the black and the brown," Kerry wrote in a candidate questionnaire to a Massachusetts peace group.

"We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear having a professional Army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply 'doing its job.' "

Yawn...

For one thing.... he misspoke. Botched it. His printed speech had in it the word "us" ...

... as in "got us stuck in Iraq." Bush got "us" stuck in Iraq.

To pretend to take Kerry's fumbling literally or so seriously begs the taking of Bush's words just as seriously:

"I was not pleased that Hamas has refused to announce its desire to destroy Israel."

So Bush is rooting for Hamas?

or...

"It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way."

So Bush is now trying to protect the terrorists?

or...

"But Iraq has - have got people there that are willing to kill, and they're hard-nosed killers. And we will work with the Iraqis to secure their future."

So Bush is in cahoots with them?

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Now Bush aims to harm the citizen's of the United States???!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

Oh yeah.... there is/was none... because he misspoke.

Just like Kerry did.

But noooo.... Lets give Bush the draft dodger a pass, and give Kerry the war hero heck.

Thing is... nobody's buying that swiftboating goblygook anymore. Kerry's scathing response got more play than his initial word fumbling. And it rang true. And.... the polling shows not a single change since Kerry's words. Nada. It didn't have any effect. Try as Santorum and other's might. Too bad.
