Kerry blows off again

[shinerbock]

He's bitter.

So that makes what 6 or 7 completely asinine statements by Kerry, to what, 800 or 900 by Bush? Kerry really going to have to step it up if he hopes to make a dent in Bush's lead :P

Hahahahaha!

But seriously, if you reference a youtube video, provide the link.

The difference is, a dumb statement by Bush involves saying "internets" or "the google" but a dumb remark by Kerry insults U.S. troops.

As a military wife, I was highly offended by Kerry's asinine comment. It is so typical of his ilk yet it makes it no less insulting.

As insulting say, as making a joke about combat wounds/casualties in front of the wounded?

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself—not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."

Pres. George W. Bush, after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006

Yes, because Bush trying to belittle himself to get a laugh out of troops is similar to him calling them stupid. Good call. Typical liberal response, one of their own makes a completely disrespectful statement, and then goes off the deep end about Republicans, and liberals simply go, "well Bush is worse." I can't wait for Tuesday.

Ah yes, I forgot, I'm a liberal

Hey, both of the jackasses made disrespectful comments - why should either get a pass? But in the case of jokes that insult the military - one of these tools served in combat; the other didn't - so the jokes coming from one are tolerated a hell of a lot less.

At least when our past PM made a "joke" like that, the Padre had the balls to tell him to STFU and show some respect for the wounded. So far Harper has managed to avoid sticking his foot in his mouth... of course he hasn't visited the wounded yet - that'll come next weekend I'm sure, unless the PCs have wrangled up some competent PR people.

Awww, whine whine freaking whine. Typical conservative response. Get over it, there are more important things in life. Most people know Kerry is a babbling fool. Which in reference to your later post in this thread is the reason why there is so much backlash on this. Because Liberals tend to be more open-minded and realize that Kerry is an idiot. When Bush makes a blunder many Conservatives write it off as nothing instead of actually calling it out.

I don't think Bush trying to ease a soldiers situation with a little humor is nearly the same as him calling them uneducated and dumb.

I've noticed as the older I get, and the busier I get with actually living an adult life, this stuff becomes less and less important. Not the actual political process, because I am an informed voter, but the constant bickering.
