Sigh ... proving again why he would have been a lousy President. Regardless of his clarification, it is my belief that he spoke what was in his heart and it is obvious that his mouth is not connected to his brain. Thank you America for not voting this idiot as MY Commander in Chief.
Kerry's comment: "I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up in Iraq."
It was taken to mean that troops serving aren't smart, they are intellectually lazy and I for one (as one of those troops) was pissed. I was proud to see several in both parties completely lay into this guy.
Could you imagine running for re-election this year in the Senate and you have been associated as being a good friend of this idiot? Regardless of his clarification that he was supposed to say: "I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq."
(He was trying to take a plug at Bush) -- Either way, this guy is an ass. I'm sorry, but as an active duty member the mere thought of this guy having any type of leadership in this government is frightening. He says he supports the troops, he fights for them and their benefits, etc. Folks, that is a lie. Let us remember that he voted "NO" to increasing the budget to get our troops better body armor ... gosh, I really hate this man.
Funny thing though, a comment was later released that said: "He has already cost us one election. The guy just needs to keep his mouth shut until after the election," (a top Democratic strategist said Tuesday.)
Too bad that person did have the scrotum to give his name.
Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!
