imo kerry has made collosal mistakes. he has a history of putting down the government and military affiars.
Frankly, I expect the challenger of the incumbent president to criticize the government's actions, military or no. You take offense to that? You would rather he simply agreed with every aciton and policy of the Bush administration? You think that it's a mistake? Obviously, unquestioning loyalty is a trait you value highly.
he disrespected the soldiers in the war with iraq. me, having a cousin in the iraq
Oh, did he now? He went on the record insulting American troops? See, I've heard him say several times how much he respects and related to the fighting men and women of the United States. Could it be he wasn't criticizing the troops, but just the war itself?
me, having a cousin in the iraq, was not very fond of kerrys comments about the war, neither were his parents.
Ah, you just answered my question.
for this reason alone, in this time of war, that man should not be president. sence when is the president susposed to help the enemy? by raping them of thier moral and country pride, kerry would help the enemy.
So, let me get this straight... because Kerry does not support the way that the war is being handled (and let's be honest, things in Iraq are not going well) means that he is helping the enemy? To me, it seems as though he wants to find a better strategy to win. But maybe that's just me. No, wait, it isn't. He said as much during the debates.
ne ways, when u said kerry has made no mistakes, i just thought of that. so i typed it
When did I say Kerry has made no mistakes? I said he hasn't made any huge, major, collosal, absolute fuck-ups like Bush has. Kerry has cost thousands upon thousands upon thousands of innocents their lives.
not to offend you, but ive noticed by your posts that your a pretty pessimistic person. you look at the worst of everything... optimism rules.
We're talking about the reckless neo-conservative bigotted cowboy that was just RE-ELECTED. The only reason that Bush was saved from becoming a lame duck president was 9/11. He must be thanking the good Lord in heaven for that tragedy, because it let him get away with anything. And the country still supports him, no matter what.
Of course I'm pessimistic. I get that way when people take democracy for granted. When people get so lazy and apathetic that they swallow anything the media feeds them.
As I've said before, my patience with the majority of Americans has run out.
