Cornyn on Kerry : Lone Star Times

Cornyn on Kerry

by David Benzion · 10/31/2006 4:49 pm

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, made the following statement regarding Senator John Kerry’s recent remarks disparaging members of the U.S. military.

“The members of the United States armed forces are the best trained, best equipped and best educated fighting force in the world, and it is shameful that a senior Democrat Senator would make them the butt of an apparent joke at a political rally. Sadly, this is not the first time Senator Kerry has disparaged the men and women in our military. Less than two years ago, he accused our troops of ‘terrorizing’ Iraqi children – remarks not dissimilar to his Vietnam-era testimony before the Senate in 1971. No one is lying about or distorting Senator’s Kerry’s remarks as he would have us believe. Senator Kerry’s remarks yesterday were clear and they were shameful. He owes the brave men and women in our military a very sincere apology.”

I have more respect for a young person that came from the service of his/her country than I do for a Che t-shirt wearing “educated” (indoctrinated) moron……

Military: discipline, teamwork, patriotism, critical problem solving, leadership, patriotism (and how to make a beer bong).

College: how to make a beer bong.

Military: pays you and houses you and feeds you.

College: You pay for everything.

Military: Uncle Sam sends you overseas to live for a year or so. Places like Bermuda, Japan, Germany, Norway, The UK…….

College: Mama pays for yor travels. At the mercy of her pocket book….

Military: You get to blow up stuff and shoot guns, really big guns, freaking HUGE GUNS (for real)

College: X-Box…. not as good as being there.

I won’t be holding my breath waiting for an apology from Kerry!

Yeah, this comes from a guy whose grade at Yale was a 76!

What I don’t understand is why someone hasn’t already taken him behind the shed and ‘taught him some manners’.

Even if this WAS about disparaging Bush (and nothing in his statement points to that), weren’t Kerry’s grades in the same range as Bush’s or worse. Sooo…..does this mean Kerry is “stuck in Iraq”? Or did his rich sugar momma save his lying butt?

Kerry is the best October Surprise ever given to the Republicans! Thank you Kerry! How Rove managed this is beyond me — the man is a genius!

Consider the source of the remarks…he is not very educated himself if he can make that type of statement at this critical time. Shame on him for sure. Unbelievable that he served in Vietnam. I guess he didn’t do his homework and study very hard since he ended up there. What goes around comes around.

You are right on gal! His statement was made by himself — no one held a gun to his head and made him say that! Just like he said that our soliders in Iraq were going house to house terrorizing women and children. He cannot escape what he SAID IN HIS OWWN WORDS! Blaming it on the “vast right win conspiracy” and Karl Rove will only resonate with the far left libtards and will get the far right out to vote, IMHO.
