BETHEVIPER said:listen to the before and after on that speech, you will realize that he was not making any reference to the president. He waited till morning to tell everyone he would in no way make an appology, then waited till that night to finally appologize.
if he mispoke he would have came right back with a quick appology, and everyone would have just been talking about what a dumazz he was. instead, he didnt see anything wrong with what he said, that is untill he realized that the country was pissed about it, even his party was mighty pissed. so pissed they all, all , all told him to stay home, dont come campaigning for me.
if you know anything about kerrys past, you would know that he has done this kind of thing his whole life. he has never missed a chance to get a leg up on his service and never missed a chance to caulk a leg up at the service.
kerry might have just cost his party enough votes to loose. at the least, that, and the mountains of other ignorant quotes will insure that we will never have to utter the words, president john "f-in" kerry
now im just wound up,
sorry for the venting

I couldnt honestly imagine taking office as a new president and getting 9-11-01 dumped in your lap then to have North Korea playing with bombs and the loon in Iran making bombs, the guy has a full agenda, not even mentioning the situation in Iraq. I know I wouldnt want to stand for 5 minutes in his shoes!!!
I really dont think a democrat or republican could do a better job because of the party they represent, what we need is a normal american in office who hasnt come from million dollar familys and knows what its like to have to work paycheck,to paycheck and deal with common everyday problems in life, that would be the person who would keep our trillions of dollars where they would do the most good.......here!!!
All the scandals in politics, theres too many to count year after year on both sides, I say bring in someone like Ross Perot was, how much worse could it have actually been?
Bischof said:Actually the "joke" was already in written form and in the hands of the press before Kerry put his foot in his mouth. The apology came out pretty damn fast.
the joke was to a small gathering of students, there was no press, no prewriten statement to the press. this story was broke by some kid on utube who attended and recorded the speech. only the next day did they give a transcript of the "misspoken words".
funny how if kerry insults the military(again) he is misunderstood, he made a mistake, he didnt really mean it, it is just the mean conservatives trying to use it in a campaign, bla, bla, bla. Now on the other hand, rush, points out the obvious, and deliberate lies in a campain add with michael fox in it and he is mean, then the press talks about how mean he is and how it makes michael feal, lets not talk about the fact that he is right about the add.
an example of this below, i googled, rush mean fox, look at the hit no i get. then look at the 2milion less hits for the words fox lied rush. then when you look through the first page you realize that the no should be lower because they are just quoting rush.
3,100,000 rush mean fox
1,060,000 fox lied rush
sorry, just on a rant
