1. Precisely
John Kerry doesn't owe my military family an apology for his comment.

The Bush Regime, however, owes us an apology and ever so much more.

11. Bush owes an apology and SO much more
a nice long answer on the question WHY, for starters.
I'd like both Bush & Cheney to answer. I think they would differ quite a bit.

After some truth serum, but I'll leave that to commanders in the field.

12. Hey, BMC!
Exactly. I want an answer, a truthful answer, to "why", from them both.

15. You deserve it. You also probably know most of it.
But so much remains to be told. A good start would be Cheney's secret Energy Meetings.

Du doesn't know all that is to be had. But we know it's there and where to look.

:hi:

2. Thank you. The Republicans are engaging in
distraction and our incompetent media is falling for it. :grr:

:hi:

Hope your lawsuit goes well. Good going!:applause:

I wonder how many lawsuits will be filed after the election. I wonder if Hassturd will just swear in all the pukes before a single suit is filed.

I wonder if we will truly take back our country next week, but hope is still alive. We're breathing aren't we?!

Tough week coming, besides THIS one, lol.

4. As much as I like Kerry and his great rebuttal, I agree - distraction
we do not want. Let the focus be on the pretzeldent and the Evil Twins and their disastrous policies, where it belongs.

7. Yep..
I am a bit "peeved" at all the '08 wannabees who have injected themselves into the mainstream. Right now the spotlight should be on the people who are actually RUNNING.. I do think the ones who are not running this year should be supporting the "runners", but they should not be in there grabbing all the oxygen in the room.

With the distraction setting of our media being on HIGH all the time, they should be aware, and keep the message on the ones who are running NOW..not in 2 years..

I would vote for kerry if he ends up the candidate, but I am still miffed at him for being brave NOW,.and not when it might have mattered. There was NO reason for him to be timid in 04..his seat was safe..

His lack of boldness when it mattered is partly responsible for all the shit we have endured since Jan 05..

8. Hear you
about the 08 wannabees stealing limelight or drawing unnnecessary attention.

Of course, Kerry is the only "big" Dem that went to campaign for Lamont. So I think he has his priorities straight, generally speaking.

Al Gore respected the 2000 Selection when he too should have banged his fist imho. Look what a man he became afterwards. I myself am nowhere near these men when it comes to putting life and limbs on the line in public office as they have.

I like them both but share your frustration w/rgds to their timing.

We nor they can change the past. The moment is now...

5. Bush owes us all an apology. He's killing our sons and daughters.
And he's saying it is okay for America to torture people.

This man is evil and his cohorts are trying to take the high ground by saying Kerry is against our troops. What a load of crap!

If we keep the subject on Iraq, this will backfire on the slimeballs.

9. Great thread
I was just thinking the same thing. All the RWs are doing is try AGAIN to divert attention away from the mess which they have made of everything.

13. ...abusing our troops, abandoning our veterans, destroying our Constitution...
...raping our treasury, destroying the middle class...

It's a long list of things which affect everyone, regardless of political affiliation.

14. Even 'discussing' whether he's the issue ISN'T THE ISSUE.
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 07:03 PM by TahitiNut
Yet we have thread after thread after thread with Kerry's name in the Subject ... like ONE or TWO isn't fucking enough????

No wonder the 'Issues' sink to the bottom faster than lead balloons.

91 fucking "Kerry" threads in General Discussion alone since yesterday morning!!!

Fucking disgusting. :grr:
