So in other words, sorry YOU were offended, moron. I’m not sorry for what I said.
Kerry should resign.
Yes, Kerry must RESIGN!
Why do people in Massachutes keep reelecting morons like Kennedy and Kerry?
He was offensive before he decided he wasn’t offensive before he decided he was offensive.
Not even his sugar momma’s cash can bail him out of this one. Intelligent people know he said what he meant and he meant what he said, and real people are ticked off. Arrogant. Elitist. Moron.
@#(*&%^ MORON!
Democrats don’t resign over any impropriety that’s why we have a “double standard” in this country. Let a Republican say what John Kerry said and their would be a formal Congressional hearing before the liberal media demands his resignation. But that’s okay, because Republicans set a higher standard for themselves. That’s why they are respected more for their principles. Now, a Democrat has no standards and therefore can do and say what they want without worrying about the liberal media coming after them. Hence, the “double standard”—-The Republican’s stardards are “HIGH” and the Democrat’s are “LOW”.
I’m sorry you are too stupid to realize I was calling the President stupid, not you.
Now that the president has demanded Kerry apologize to the troops for what he characterizes as a single disparaging remark, the American public should turn that finger right back at Bush. Because does ANYONE owe a bigger apology to our troops than George W. Bush??
He owes an apology to the 101 families who lost loved ones to the violence in Iraq last month while the White House meandered between staying the course and suggesting a possible change in strategy without really defining what and when that might be.
He owes an apology to the troops for being absolutely clueless about what he was getting them into when he first orchestrated this war with Iraq; for failing to consider the long-term consequences of an invasion; for failing to take into account the hostilities between Sunnis and Shiites; and for failing to have any sort of endgame in mind beyond toppling Saddam Hussein from power and finishing the job Bush Senior started in 1991.
He owes an apology to the troops for sending them into harm’s way without sufficient numbers and equipment; he owes an apology for the thousands of weapons apparently delivered into the wrong hands in Iraq, with one recent audit estimating that one in 25 weapons intended for Iraqi security forces – and paid for by our tax dollars — has gone missing. Oops.
He owes an apology to the American people for misleading us into this war with lies and false information.
He owes an apology to the troops for severely underestimating the tenacity of Iraqi insurgents and neighboring jihadists, inadvertently creating a breeding ground for terrorists and actually expanding their threat around the globe.
And of course, he owes an apology to the free world for failing to capture Osama bin Laden FIVE YEARS after the 9/11 attacks.

I won’t comment on your whole diatribe, but when was the last time YOU tried to capture an individual in mountainous terrain, your opponent’s home turf, when he has help of the indiginous personnel? Finding one man (or a small group of men) is much harder than finding a large collection of individuals. I get so freakin’ tired of hearing this “why hasn’t he captured Osama yet?” If I read the situation correctly, he may also be getting help from other countries with equipment and intel which would make this job even harder. Whatever your feelings on the war, give up the “catching Osama” argument. I don’t think you could do any better, if you were in charge, and whining that whine makes you sound like an idiot. IMHO, anyway.

DFTTs and they/she/he/it will go away.
#10 Thanks tedtam, I was having trouble holding my tongue, er, fingers after that diatribe too.

#9 And you owe an apology for trolling and not turning your tinfoil upside down on Oct 28th when we changed from DST.
Don’t know why, but this blast from the past just came to me:
“Did you know you ran that stopsign ?”
“Yes, officer; and I was just going to go back and stop for it.”
the movie title “seems like old times”, seemed fitting for kerry also.

But the trolls are soooo cuuuute when they begin to cry! The maternal instinct in me just rears up and I HAVE to feed them!
/tic
Kerry did not apologize before he did not apologize.
#9 I think you owe us an apology for being stupid!
Were you in on those meetings, How do you know what they knew?
Idiot.

Because birds of a feather . . . .
You know.. after thinking about this.. why did he have to apologize through his WEB SITE? What kind of person apologizes through a website? Did he write it? Did someone hack his website? Did someone else write it to try to “calm” the storm? I’m sure the drive by media will be done with this now since he “pseudo apologized”, but I still think he’s full of crap and is a chicken not to get in front of an audience, or a worthlessly sympathetic news anchor, and say he apologizes to the troops for what he said, from his own horse mouth.
Do they still make stockades? Now THAT would be a great photoshop.
Thanks for allowing run-on sentences…
Re 21 - Maybe Kerry couldn’t bring himself to apologize in person, in front of a camera somewhere, because he’s not really sorry.
Perhaps in his eyes, if you’re a Yale grad eager to avoid the draft and earn military credentials to support running for office someday, well, that’s one thing. But if you join voluntarily, you are clearly so dumb - uh, excuse me, unfortunate - that you can’t get a job flipping burgers.
And maybe you’re a mother-raping baby-killer, too…but Kerry wasn’t dumb enough to say THAT.
