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!

They will never wake up. They have been to sleep with fears of terrorism and muslims. As long as the republicans keep people fearful they will never realize what is going on.

I didn't know about the script. If there was one then perhaps he should release in order to clarify what he meant to say. The white house released the text of Bush's speech where he slams Kerry for his remarks hours before Bush gave the speech. That gave it extra play time on afternoon talk radio. That's why I think that Kerry should do the same thing with his speech.

Maybe the prepared speech was against Bush, but the words he spoke were NOT. I'm glad it backfired on him.
There is NO proof that Bush didn't do his job in the National Guard. The so-called documents that proved that he didn't were FAKE.
Yeah, Kerry served in Vietnam, but you know what? So did my dad. My dad was SHOT, several times, and got RIGHT BACK IN again! Kerry did not.
My dad volunteered for service. Kerry did not.
War hero? I think not.
Furthermore, ANY admiration I would have had for Kerry for serving his country fades in light of his protesting and treachery.
My father would have HATED Kerry, and would have seen him for what he is: A FAKE.
My dad was a real war hero. His battle buddy that was killed in the process of saving his life was a war hero. John Kerry? Pathetic.

Put a fork in Kerry...he's done.
His lame comments have hurt the Democrats, thats why no Democrat of importance has stepped up in public to defend his idiotic comments.
Kerry's slip revealed what the Swift Boats have claimed him to be all along- an elitist phony.
Kerry, in true gentleman fashion, opened his mouth and proved their claim.
Dems can fool some of the people some of the time, but they're not going to fool America on this!

you are wrong . speed reading? that is laughable , surely you can come up with something better than that . his comment was very simple , get an education or go to iraq , there is no possible way that was meant towards bush personally , bush is not in iraq
not to mention kerry's purple hearts are all debated from his previous acquaintances , he is a failure and bad mouthed the military when he got out publicly

Here is what he said...verbaitum..
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
---John Kerry
I don't see a single mention of Bush. Just like the left to play it off.
Edit -
This just pisses me off. here is a bit of information for those smugly agreeing with Kerry's comunist ***.
According to figures readily available, 99.9 percent of the enlisted forces have at least a high school education, 73.3 percent have some college, 16.2 percent have an associate’s degree or equivalent semester hours, and 4.7 have a bachelor’s degree.
What’s more, over 85 percent of field grade officers have advanced degrees – 70.7 percent have master’s degrees, 12.1 percent have professional degrees and 2.5 percent have doctorate degrees.
I'd take off my stripes forever just to get 10 minutes with that Son of a *****

I don't care who it was he aimed it at, that was completely inappropriate and was an insult at the military whether he admits it or not. Honestly, these people are supposed to be intelligent if they will run our country and all they can do is insult each other like school children. Why should they be running our country? They should be explaining what they stand for, what they will do to improve America (and actually mean it, for once), and acting like adults. No wonder we never get anywhere since they can't seem to grow up!

The prepared text of Kerry's speech was directed at Bush. The actual spoken comment was not. Do your research.

I'm a liberal and I wanted to punch Kerry in the face for being so stupid, maybe we should just drop this one.

Of course they know. But they are losing so badly that they are willing to distort everything, even past where they normally do.
