An e-mail from my good buddy Ken Mehlman (re Kerry)-- WAAAY over the top!

Dear {TexasLawyer},

Listen closely this election season and you'll hear the truth about what Democrats represent.

Monday, failed Presidential candidate John Kerry brazenly insulted the brave American men and women serving in our military. At a campaign stop for Democrats in California, Kerry told students that "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."

In Kerry's cocoon of privilege, those who serve in our military are failures who never did their homework or "made an effort to be smart."

John Kerry is dead wrong. Our troops who put their lives on the line represent the very best of America. They strongly believe in the cause they're fighting for. Our troops deserve to be honored, not insulted by the likes of John Kerry. Stand up and tell John Kerry to apologize to our men and women in uniform.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time John Kerry insulted or demeaned American troops. Last year, Kerry told a CBS interviewer that "there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."

Will Democrats stand up and condemn these demeaning attacks by John Kerry? Or will they stay silent?

John Kerry's outrageous comments are a vivid reminder of why these elections matter. In six days, politicians who are as bad or worse than John Kerry could take control of Congress. In their unguarded moments they talk about impeachment, insult the President as a "liar" and a "loser," and say that "everything is on the table" when it comes to tax increases on all Americans.

1. Ah yuor buddy is really scratching

you know what is ironic though? By this they are reminding folks that there IS a war they don't necessarily like beng fought in Iraq... I hope it backfires as badly as I think it should, if not worst

2. Mehlman proves that bullshit flies.

Never mind the pigs.

3. Kerry didn't fail, he won. His boy is a failed human being,

fake president, father, husband (from the rumors), everything. He's a walking talking living breathing lump of Eastern excrement that like to say he's a Texan.

5. The elephant in Mehlman's living room,

which goes unacknowledged, is that Kerry served in the freakin' military and saw battle, while Bush and most of his chickenhawks never did.

And Bush and his chickenhawks have sent our men and women to die in an insane war, and cut veterans' benefits too.
