Notice that for quite some time that the Dems have been criticizing President Bush for his handling of the war. The Dems say they can do better. Can they? Look back at the Vietnam War.
The Dems fought that war and that was a disaster. We lost 58,209 troops in that war and we sent around three million soldiers there. The war lasted around 30 years and the Dems could not even complete the primary objective which was, To ensure that Communist did not take over the country. There was even controversy on why we went to that war when it had nothing to do with the U.S.

Now take a look at the current war. We have only fought for around 5 years and we were successfully able to complete our primary objective, which was to ensure the freedom of both the Afghan's and the Iraqi's. We have only sent around 300,000 to both regions but yet instead of losing 58,290 soldiers, we have only lost around 3,000., which by the way is the fewest amount of KIA in any war that the U.S has fought in.

I served our country(1981-1987). I remember being stabbed. I remember the first time I got shot at. Nobody ever forgets that. And I never regretted a moment of it. I did it for EVERYONE. All Americans.

Isn't it about time. ONCE AND FOR ALL. To send a BIG message on election day and vote Republican. John Kerry's statement was an insult to every one of us. And he easily could have just apologized, and claimed he was tired or mis-spoke. HE DID NOT.
Are you pissed at the Democratic party? Are you going to SHOW IT and VOTE REPUBLICAN?

Should he also speak to some progressive stations in order to reach the majority of Americans who don't think he's doing a bang up job?

Working on a paper, & have my own opinion....curious about what others think. Here's the question:

If Marx knows workers are not legally enslaved, why does he use the metaphor for slavery throughout his work to describe the relationship between capitalist & wage-laborer? Can slavery be abolished by paying workers better wages?

Liberals want the government to fund and control stem cell research.

These are things that totalitarian governments do and Liberals want them all.

Bush(following in Clinton's footsteps)okays warentless wiretapping and all of the sudden he is a fascist and labeled a totalitarian dictator.

I just don't understand the Liberal reasoning.

It shocks me how many posts I have seen this morning basically trying to valid the statements made by John Kerry by saying that it is true that the military is uneducated. These are the same people who have been claiming they support the troops. Are they showing their true stripes regarding their real opinions of the military with these posts? I fully expected liberals to side with John Kerry in not apologizing because this is standard operating procedure when one of their own makes a mistake, but the utter disrespect of the military intelligence level is just staggering. There is vast gulf of difference between opposition to the war and denigrating the fine men and women serving our country honorably.

This question does not regard John Kerry and his comments directly. If you wish to post on that I have another open question on that issue.

There is an ever increasing global population but most of us continue to do or put up with a lot we do not like because a few legislate and regulate our lives for us.

I do not condon anarchy, my own view is that most of us lack the balls to stand up for what we want and there is a huge dose of apathy affecting us. What is your take on the situation?

Kerry was speed reading from a script if you noticed on TV. He goofed up his comment by leaving out a reference to Bush , NOT THE TROOPS!

Kerry served in Vietnam
Bush did not!
Bush was a National Air Guard who didn't even show up to all of his monthly drills. Another "Fortunate One" like the CCR song goes!

Wake up Middle Class Americans!

or will he continue to slander Soldiers like he did when he came back from Vietnam?

Finally, the mainstream voter has seen in Kerry what the military voters saw from the start with his presidential bid- that you can size a man up pretty good from their appearance- and they knew Kerry was a phony elitist trying to use a phony war record to further his career and cover up how he came back from Vietnam and slandered his fellow soldiers. His new comments just reinforced what the military set already knew.

The man is a phony and America wants him to apologize. Will he?

When is he going to apologize?

Cindy Sheehan has struck a blow against war profiteering and suffering and the hypocrisy of the Bush administration. She has singlehandedly made a lot of people switch sides. She has steeled the resolve of the right wingnuts, showing them up for the rigidly irrational, defend-anything boobs that they are.

Murtha outed the US Armed Forces personal agenda "recreational genocide" tactics in Iraq. It's a funny irony of modern American politics that the GOP attacked him more for outing the military for its abuses, than they attacked the abusive military itself, after he outed them. Those crazy people.

You seem incapable of leaving defend mode, no matter what the guy does.

Be objective, and answer the question.

No Democrats have even defended Kerry's comments. Proof positive that his own party is DONE with him and his nonsense.

Is the silence of his party on his MISTAKE proof of what a HUGE MISTAKE it was?
