A Call for Senator Kerry's Resignation!!!

  
Senator's Kerry doesn't have to apologize for his comments to students in Pasadena (Calif.) City College. His statement, Education, if you make the most of it, you study hard and do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Senator Kerry should do what is right and RESIGN!!!

Senator Kerry comments clearly shows how feels; "I apologize to no one . . . I'm not going to give them one ounce of daylight to spread one of their lies and to play this game ever, ever again. That is a lesson I learned deep and hard, Mr. Kerry comments says it all on how he feels about OUR Troops who are serving this country.

Mr. Kerry did this once before with is false comments in Washington when he testified before congress and made the statements that they personally committed or witnessed other U.S. Servicemen engage in war crimes.

 Mr. Kerry comments insults all who have served this country and paid the Ultimate Sacrifice!!!

Mr. Kerry comments insults all who have served this country in Peacetime!!!

Mr. Kerry comments insults all who have served in Past Wars.
 
 Mr. Kerry's comments insults all who serve today in this War on Terror


 No, Mr. Kerry you don't have to apologize for your comments, You must do what is right, You Must Resign!!
 I urge all Citizens of the State of Massachusetts, Veterans, and Families of Veterans to join in and Call for Senator Kerry to RESIGN from the United Sates Senate.

Here's what he meant to say:

A Kerry spokeswoman, Amy Brundage, said Kerry's prepared text had called for him to say: "Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

He was calling your 'Dear Fearless Leader' an idiot, get it?! no, you wouldn't would you...

So sad you winger's have nothing else left but to obfuscate, hate and lie.

It Obvious from the statement from Kerry’s office they are trying to cover their butts. Kerry chose to change the words written in his speech. Therefore he statements stands and he Must Resign, It’s insulting to All Who Served with Honor.

John Kerry is a disgrace to our State, it is a shame to have him represent us in Washington. He is too arrogant to realize what those words do to the family of a son or daughter who has been killed or maimed over there. Our young men and women serving are educated, trained and sacrificing to serve their country. He's using them for his own political agenda....as usual. I think the Senator is an elitist snob, and should resign immediately.

Okay, so you want Sen Kerry to resign over his comments, but you don't call for Bush's resignation for dragging us into Iraq under false pretense? If you look at those who now join the services, a majority of enlistees can't afford a higher education and have little choice. The armed services target urban and rural schools and areas where the ecomony is particularly depressed. Truthfully, I don't believe that Kerry meant to show any disrespect and I am no Kerry fan.

Kelleryjones: Respectfully you have NO Clue on who joins the Military. I retired from the USAF in 2000. I was a certified instructor, which was secondary to my primary duties, and I taught at the USAF Leadership School. The Students in the classes were a mixture of National Guardsman and Regular Air Force. The degrees of education ranged from a high school graduate to a Masters Degree holder. An Airman who applies to this school must pass a reading comprehensive test and a vocabulary test. When I first served, during the Viet Nam War, many if not all, of my basic training class, had at least two years of College. Today’s military requires an educated individual. To have John Kerry insult them with his remarks is intolerable to stand up for him is also an insult to our men and woman who serve this country bravely.

How long should Saddam been able to snub his nose up at UN inspectors? 13 years wasn't enough time for him to comply? Let us not forget that the intelligence at the time, showed that Saddam had WMD's, and most in the country though the same. And even the disgrace of a senator (John Kerry) voted for the war, before he voted against it. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback the President, but don't say he dragged us into war under false pretense. The just plain Kerry-speak.

Kerry said it was a botched joke. To me, that seems obvious. It is obvious to me that he meant to say that if you didn't do well in school you would end up lik BUSH, mired in Iraq. Duh!

This is typical Rush Limbaugh anti-intellectual, snippet and anecdote as proof of reality B.S.

This is an obvious political ploy to distort one silly statement and try to make political advantage of it by the cynical republican election campaign. They are trying to get all the servicement to vot republican by taking one botched joke and blowing it up out of all proportion. The best thing servicemen could do would be to vote Democratic! That way, they wouldn't be dying at the rate of 100+ per month in order to facilitate Bush's neo-colonial nation-building fiasco.

Yarmouth Taxpayer,
It is quite presumptious of you say that I have don't have a clue who enlists- I have several friends whose sons and daughters have enlisted and not one had gone to college- this is not to say that these kids were not smart, quite the contrary- what it does say is that many kids are priced out of the secondary school market and the only way to afford an education is to enlist. Wonder how many upper middle class college educated men and women enlist? Not many, because they have more choices in their lives purely based on their economic status. But if we get back to what Kerry really meant, there are no arguments- Bush is intellectually as agile as an elephant and look where we are now.And by the way, I've got some great military history in my family so don't tell me that I have insulted the troops- I don't buy that and neither should you.

Oh please. We need to impeach Bush and Cheney for lying to us and getting us into this disaster.
They are the ones who ignore the well-being of our troops, using Americans' admiration for our fighting men and women as a cheap wedge to divide the country. They are the ones who exploit the very danger that they have irresponsibly placed our troops in - to score cheap political points in the week before an election. And then they slash the VA benefits. Bunch of cowards who never served.

Oh Boy! Isn't that cute!

Well, if Kerry isn't a disgrace why is his own Party distancing themselves from him??? Let's see Kerry now will not appear with Tim Walz of Minnesota, Bruce Braley in Iowa asked kerry not to campaign with him, Bob Casey in Philadelphia, Harold Ford Jr. in Tennessee, Jon Tester in Montana and the list goes on. When you own party is distancing themselves from you, I'd call that a disgrace.

Bush says the War in Iraq will be just a comma in the history books...but thats ok

Kerry says something about ending up in Iraq if you dont study and that makes him unfit to be a senator...

I have never read such in your face partisan crap ever before

Youd hang a man for saying words you dont agree with because he's not your guy, and allow your guy(GW) to do anything he pleases, just because you voted for him.

I dont like Kerry but to call for his resignation because he "says" something innapropriate is stupid and makes you an idealouge...

Where is the outrage over our troops dying for THE OIL?
Here's is what our President told the doper Rush:
"Give me a second here, Rush, because I want to share something with you. I am deeply concerned about a country, the United States, leaving the Middle East. I am worried that rival forms of extremists will battle for power, obviously creating incredible damage if they do so; that they will topple modern governments, that they will be in a position to use oil as a tool to blackmail the West. People say, "What do you mean by that?" I say, "If they control oil resources, then they pull oil off the market in order to run the price up, and they will do so unless we abandon Israel, for example, or unless we abandon allies."

Memories...

“The audience laughed. I grimaced. But that wasn't the end of it. After a few more slides, there was a shot of Bush looking under furniture in the Oval Office. "Nope," he said. "No weapons over there." More laughter. Then another picture of Bush searching in his office: "Maybe under here." Laughter again.”

Mr. Kerry issued the following statement through his web site.

Too little too Late John. Why didn’t Mr. Kerry issue this statement at a press conference so the Troops could see his face? In case you are wondering what others are saying go the following web site at CBS 4 http://cbs4boston.com/viewersvoice

Has Bush ever apologized... for anything?

How about for the 3,000 dead US soldiers?

For the tens of thousands maimed and wounded?

For treating returning Iraqi veterans like dirt.

For the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi's that we came to liberate.

For the most divisive political climate this country has probably ever seen.

For gutting the Bill of Rights.

For using the Constitution as his toilet paper.

His arrogance prevents him from admitting that Iraq is in total anarchy and our soldiers pay the price for it.

He lives in a bubble surrounded by sycophantic yes men who stroke his fragile little ego.

Is he sorry for anything?

No, I didn’t think so.

How many innocent American lives have been saved because of the actions taken in Iraq and other places?

It's hard to measure something that hasn't happened.

Consider that Americans were attacked numerous time leading up to and including 9-11, NOTHING has happened since and you can be sure it not coincidence and that John Kerry and the rest of the Democrat party had nothing to do with it.

Amazingly every single American that has gone to the Middle East with the exception of a very small few have done so knowing the risks and done so with honor. What a gigantic disparity there is between the American liberal, and the American soldier. They are opposites yet the liberal cannot survive without the soldier. I bet most American soldiers would love to live in a world with out the American liberals, imagine how many soldiers’ lives would be saved.

AAll of the hijackers came into this country trained themselves and planned the 9-11 attack under Clinton. The fact that they pulled it of under GW is irrelevant.

The Cole was one attack in the 90's what about:
NYC, World Trade Center, 1993
Karachi, Pakistan, U.S. Consulate, 1995
Oklahoma City, 1995
Centenary Park in Atlanta, Georgia 1996
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, Khobar Towers, 1996
Karachi, Pakistan, 1997
Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy, 1998

I am willing to bet the laundry list above would be twice as long had Al Gore or John Kerry been elected. I know it would be!

Osama slipping out the back door into Pakistan... that's because Clinton was busy with Monica....

but thats ok because I know that when Pelosi becomes speaker then you will start really finding out about what the intelligence community really thought about regarding the puported WMD's.... I dont ask for much, but I like to be told the truth and to hear all sides to the story.
