    Kinky and Perry supporters agree– we all hate John Kerry!

    A uniter, not a divider.

    I already e-mailed Kerry and told him what a butt he was and reminded him that he must have wasted his good education because he ended up in Vietnam.

  3. navymom on October 31st, 2006 at 12:33 pm

    What a #$*&%@! moron!

    And HE wanted to be our PRESIDENT!

    Scary scary scary!

    John Kerry is also a proven LIAR. Like Clinton he doesn’t care if he is under oath when he lies. Most people who lie under oath are sent to prison, I have to wonder why these 2 bozos get away with it.

  5. Smacktle on October 31st, 2006 at 12:39 pm

    That is pretty sad, but the t shirt girl is right there to console me.

    Now, Now…..I heard on Mike Gallegher this morning that a caller said that John Kerry mis-spoke. He said that what John Kerry meant, was that it was George Bush’s fault that he got us into Iraq and now he can’t get us out. When Mike told him that George W. went to Yale, the caller said that didn’t matter. John Kerry was talking about Bush. Not our soldiers. (Please don’t shoot the messenger)

    He certainly did not get ’stuck’ in Viet Nam.

    John Kerry is one of my most favorite targets for my “Top Ten” list of captions. So for this picture of a “nut case” aka John Kerry, I have written my “Top Ten” list:

    1) What do you people expect, I’m French!!!

    2) That was real blood I shed in Viet Nam, not Heinz ketchup!!!!

    3) If I was President, we would have “cut and run” a long time ago.

    4) I was in Viet Nam and Iraq is no Viet Nam. For one thing, Iraq has more sand.

    5) Look!!! I’ll say anything to be President.

    6) My wife said she would buy the Presidency for me as a gift, next time.

    7) Hillary has neither the war experience nor the medals that I have.

    8) You people need to buy your diplomas like I did.

    9) I’m on whichever side of the issue you want me to be on.

    10) Look!! At least I’m not as big a stiff as Algore is!!!!

    I hope John Kerry appreciates what I have done for his campaign. It was a joy and a pleasure to help in anyway I can.

    Matt, my thanks and respect go out to your brother. May God watch over him. Who is John Kerry again?

  11. Rahman Golddigger38 on October 31st, 2006 at 2:16 pm

    Kerry finally said what was to be said long time ago. It seems he is the only person brave enough to take this administration to task.
    The conservatives in power has done dis -service to our democracy by shutting out democrats , denying any participation in policy making. Soon they will learn where it hurts when ignored.

  12. Neocon on October 31st, 2006 at 2:18 pm

    Ah, it is a vast right wing conspiracy who put those words in Kerry’s mouth — just like back in ‘71 when he “testified under oath” before Congress. Now he is backpeddling big time. Keep it up Kerry! You are the Right’s best weapon as is the rest of the dhimicrapic party!

  13. Neocon on October 31st, 2006 at 2:20 pm

  14. Big45Iron on October 31st, 2006 at 2:21 pm

    I emailed Kerry and told him what a loser he was, and that he couldn’t even figure out how to sign an SF 180. Then I emailed Frist and Hutchison telling them that they need to start proceedings to censure or rebuke Kerry. I couldn’t get onto Cornyn’s website.

    Since Conservatives can’t find anything to blame on the DEMOCTATS and election approaching fast they have started mutilating their good name.
    What else they can do?

  18. Matt on October 31st, 2006 at 2:42 pm

    Kerry finally said what was to be said long time ago.

    Rahman, what Kerry said is not only offensive, but it’s demonstrably false. Members of the military are significantly better educated than the general population.

    Even if you and others believe that the war is wrong, Kerry stepped off into it by denigrating the men and women that are in our armed forces.

    Do you really, truly think that all of our service personnel are uneducated, mind-numbed robots?

  20. fasternu426 on October 31st, 2006 at 2:43 pm

    Liberal DHIMMICRATS have nothing but disdain for our troops. They hate them and use them as props only. Otherwise they could care less. They see them as photo ops but think of them as uneducated and boorish.

    And I’ll spell DHIMMICRAT however I wish.

    Keep drinking the demicrap koolaid! I guess it was a great right wing conspiracy that FORCED kerry to say the words he did. Perhaps Rove was below the podium pointing a gun at his middle. What about his testimony that he, himself, killed and tortured women and children in Vietnam. I guess the right wingers MADE him say that! Your position is pathetic and desperately reaching.

    According to him, today, at the Whitehouse.

  29. bigjolly on October 31st, 2006 at 2:55 pm

    #28 Rahman

    That is doubtful. Otherwise, why would Kerry have first issued the attack against the Whitehouse, saying it was typical GOP dirty tricks, and then, several hours later, decide he mis-stated a prewritten speechline? Doesn’t make sense.

    When there was an outcry from public benches yesterday about Kerry’s remarks , he tried to explain today that the country misunderstood his remarks , he meant empty suits at the white house.

    Uh, well, good luck getting anyone to buy that one. Kerry stepped over the line, he should just apologize and let it go. But alas, he’ll just keep diggin’ deeper. And Hillary will sit back and watch. Heck, she might even jump in and call for an apology herself, as several other Senators have done.

  35. Neocon on October 31st, 2006 at 3:09 pm

    Simple, Kerry got caught and began backpeddling, blaming his own words on others. The Dhims are used to getting a free ride from the DLWM, where no one questions them. I hope Kerry keeps it up! He and his ilk are the best campaign tools (literally) that the Pubbies have!

    Case in point is Charlie Rangal saying if the Dhims got into power, he would raise taxes (i.e., not renew the tax cuts). When his own words are pointed out by Cheney, he calls Cheney a sunofabitch! Amazing hypocracy! Keep it up guys! You too Rahman. You are only helping the pubbies’ cause.

  36. navymom on October 31st, 2006 at 3:11 pm

    My son is in the Navy, and he was not STUCK into Iraq, or STUCK into the military. HE VOLUNTEERED, as did everyone else currently in the military.

    IT IS THE MILITARY, get over it. If you signed up, you KNOW that there is a possiblity of going to war, that is the whole point of the MILITARY. If you do not agree with that sort of thinking, DON’T JOIN, and DON’T RUN FOR PRESIDENT, either!

  37. bigjolly on October 31st, 2006 at 3:12 pm

    Rahman,

    Here some stuff on Kerry - The Kerry Spot

    Why can’t he just say, “I misspoke”? Although honestly, looking at the tape, it looks like he meant what he was saying. Here’s his words:

    “You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

    It will be interesting to see the media try not to ignore this, because Kerry just exploded.

    Right or wrong, there is a general conception among people that those who cannot , otherwise, make it in private sector should consider seriously joining the army.
    I , for one, do not buy the argument that they enlist to defend the country.
    Ask any family today if they had the choice they would let their love ones go to Iraq, and who could blame them? Infact, army is having problem filling up their quotas and has started offering all kinds of goodies to encourage new comers.

  39. bigjolly on October 31st, 2006 at 3:20 pm

    #38 Rahman

    I , for one, do not buy the argument that they enlist to defend the country.

    And therein lies the problem - you are viewing the military from your own personal perception. No one can do that and make sense of any policy.

    You need to step back and realize that there are people that would and do enlist to defend their country.

  40. navymom on October 31st, 2006 at 3:25 pm

    #37 Thanks!

    #34
    Not everyone that is in the military is in Iraq. There are more branches of the military than the Army.
    You might be surprised how many people join up to serve their country. You sure seem to have a poor view of our military’s mental capacity. No wonder you support Kerry.

    I wanted to join Airforce because of my passion for flying and nothing else, I saw myself making my living as a commercial Pilot some day.
    I failed the medical and dream did not realize. But I ended up being a pilot eventually, as a private pilot that is and today I fly on my own dime.
    So if I had joined the airforce it was because of my passion rather than defending the country which I would have done anyway.

  42. USA Junkie on October 31st, 2006 at 3:30 pm

    #38 - Your ignorance goes before your fingers on the keyboard. You see the world only from your paradigms.

    I personally worked with both enlisted and officers. Those are the finest people on this planet. PERIOD. People join the military for many reasons. Some join because they know they will find the discipline and direction they want/need for their lives. They understand that the military can guide them toward this goal…and 99.9% of them find exactly what they are looking for. The officers who are trained through the ROTC programs are some of the best and brightest. They have to be or they don’t get to take the oath of office. I know young people who were upset that they got reserve duty instead of active military duty.

  49. fasternu426 on October 31st, 2006 at 3:44 pm

    Kerry is an elitist baya-stad who thought he wanted to be JFK when he grew up. Ivy league sphynchter who joined the NAVY just to pad his resume… He stabbed his shipmates and others that served in the back when he came home and LIED before congress. He needs a combat boot in his gravitass……

    He meant what he said! And he was sober. A lot of noise was made about Mel Gibson when he was hammered (I think I remember Ramennoodle making some of that noise too). Mel apologized for his remarks while drunk. Kerry is drunk on himself unlike Kennedy…..

    USA

    I did my stint in the USAF way back when. Part of that time as a class room instructor and other as an inspector.

    The excappees from Momma and those that came into the service “to get an education” drove me nuts. Those two groups of people ignored just what the military was all about (fighting wars, killing people and breaking things).

    I have no problem with a person that came in to “learn to fly” but those that ignored the primary purpose I have no use or respect for.

  53. fasternu426 on October 31st, 2006 at 4:45 pm

    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.

  54. Matt on October 31st, 2006 at 5:11 pm

    Ask any family today if they had the choice they would let their love ones go to Iraq, and who could blame them?

    Okay. Let’s ask a representative from the Bramanti family, for instance:

    Devil’s Advocate Zilla: Hey Matt, what do you think about your brother going to Iraq?

    Me: I’m proud of him, and I’m praying for his safety and success.

    DAZ: Why’d he join the army anyway? He must be a big dummy who couldn’t make it in the rough-and-tumble private sector!

    Me: Not at all. He’s very intelligent and well-educated. He’s got an accounting degree from one of the top programs in the nation, and would have no problem landing a job at a Big Four audit firm.

    Besides, he wants leadership experience, something the military provides officers much faster than private companies provide new hires. Instead of spending a couple years at the bottom of the totem pole, he’s in direct charge of a couple dozen guys and tens of millions worth of equipment.

    DAZ: Oh. I guess I’m a total dumbass, huh?

    Me: Yeah.

  55. phil on October 31st, 2006 at 5:34 pm

    Why is everyone so surprised that the phony war hero, Gomer Kerry said what he said?

    He showed his true colors when he came back from Vietnam and the Swift Boat vets exposed him for what he really is.

    I’m always a little leery when someone who served in the military, goes around reminding you every 5 minutes that they served in the military?

    Isn’t that what Gomer Kerry always does?

    It seems most of the real war heroes never really talk about what they did.

  56. glynne on October 31st, 2006 at 6:38 pm

    Question for the mob.

    Does someone have to live at the address where they vote to be legal? As in, can they just have their mail delivered there. Let’s just say I know someone who does this and if not legal, who do I report it to?

  57. glynne on October 31st, 2006 at 6:38 pm

    OOPS! Please delete. Wrong thread!

  58. nz-texas on October 31st, 2006 at 7:30 pm

    do you even have to be legal to vote?

  59. steve481 on October 31st, 2006 at 8:43 pm

    If I remember correctly, Senator Kerry went to Vietnam while Dubya stayed in the states and partied. Also, to get more recruits the military lowered their standards to let rejects from McDonald’s enlist.

  60. vlou on October 31st, 2006 at 9:48 pm

    (not actual quote) I eat 9 grapes a day. White grapes only. You soak them in gin overnight and eat them.

  64. tennvic on November 3rd, 2006 at 9:19 pm

    It is obvious that some of the people who have blogged here have no idea of what drives most to enlist into the Military. There are those who really feel the desire to give some of their lives to support the lifestyle so many of us take for granted. Thank God and your serving Military and Veterans for the Country that you live in. The level of education of the Military I served in in the ’60s - ’70s was somewhat less than todays but the patriotism was none the less.
    You civilians just don’t get it. The politicians that used their Military service for political and personal gain will never get it.
    My Brothers and Sister who laid to rest one of our finest yesterday understand more than Kerry will ever know. We have feelings, he has only ambitions which he believe, like Ted Kennedy, are above our pathetic lives.
    Nuff said. John get with Jane and just go away!!!!
