for those that think John Kerry was wrong for making this comment
"Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - "If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq," he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps."***
your as gullible as a lamb to the slaughter for falling for the politically correctness disease that has infected America. You believe that because he is a politician he has no right to say what most of America feels. I guess you believe that he should act as a politician and smile with a deceitful grin. The American troops are not stupid and most of them are in Iraq through the archaic belief that it is American and patriotic to fight wars. Fighting to save your country under attack is one thing, but fighting for the deranged lies of a supposed leader who gets away with murder through his persona of a mental patient that we try to protect is another. The fact also remains that most of the troops on the front line are there because it was their only choice for getting an education. I know i almost joined the army because i couldn't afford college. The Army bombards us with advertising campaigns on how much better life is in the army, and how they will pay for our tuition. In this respect John Kerry is absolutely right. His comment subtly communicated the destruction of our educational systems and how some our citizens and brave soldiers are in Iraq because they had no choice and could not seep through the educational system. the rest are in Iraq because they were duped into believing it was a war over weapons of mass destruction. John Kerry's comment might of hurt ego's but Bush actions have destroyed lives
For those of you who took offense, then i suggest you stop judging others and start taking a look at the facts. The Republicans made a mistake with Foley's sex scandal and how convenient to now bring the blame back on Democrats right on the midterm elections. If you are that gullible then please don't vote at all because ill fear for the future of America. I wont say to choose a side, Republican or Democrat either way the only choice your making is how fast or slow your going to get screwed. This is a call to use your own thoughts and intellect and make decisions for yourself and please for the love of all that is great in America, do not fall for the trap of freedom of choices provided to you. The media is a mass manipulation machine that is now in the process of skewing the outcome of the midterm elections by staining the name of Democrats through a person that is not even in the running. If the rest of you haven't noticed, Iraq was a total failure and is in the brink of a civil war (if not already done so), we are still in Afghanistan, Bush has increased hatred for America by an unmeasurable amount, the economy is being predicted as going to collapse, social security has still not been resolved, medicare is still a problem, and people are living in utter total fear of terrorism to the point of giving up their liberties for dubious promised freedoms, but Im sure John Kerry's comments are a matter of national security. Its time to grow up America, we deserve and should be better then this.
till then...Dissent.
