John Kerry, RESIGN NOW PLEASE

[kosar]

Here ya go, sponge. Don't be a 'Wayne' and automatically discount it because of the source, Michelle Malkin. These are facts, not her opinion.

These comments sound familiar at all?

"During a Vietnam-era run for Congress three decades ago, John Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes."

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran who turned against the war, made the observations in answers to a 1972 candidate questionnaire from a Massachusetts peace group.

After Kerry caused a firestorm this week with what he termed a botched campaign joke that Republicans said insulted current soldiers, The Associated Press was alerted to the historical comments by a former law enforcement official who monitored 1970s anti-war activities...

...In 1972, as he ran for the House, he was less apologetic in his comments about the merits of a volunteer army. He declared in the questionnaire that he opposed the draft but considered a volunteer army "a greater anathema."

"I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown," Kerry wrote. "We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply 'doing its job.'

"Equally as important, a volunteer army with our present constitutional crisis takes accountability away from the president and put the people further from control over military activities," he wrote.

...Kerry filled out the candidate questionnaire at the request of Massachusetts Political Action for Peace, an anti-war group that decades later turned over its historical documents to university researchers."

Here's an AP (who if you listen to some on here, is a commie bastion) account. Again, AP, Malkin, whatever. These are the facts.

Not sure what the Murtha reference is all about. Everything I posted came from Kerry, not Murtha. Kerry has a long history of hating troops and his recent comments reflect that precisely.

WASHINGTON - During a Vietnam-era run for Congress three decades ago, John Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes."

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran who turned against the war, made the observations in answers to a 1972 candidate questionnaire from a Massachusetts peace group.

After Kerry caused a firestorm this week with what he termed a botched campaign joke that Republicans said insulted current soldiers, The Associated Press was alerted to the historical comments by a former law enforcement official who monitored 1970s anti-war activities

Kerry apologized Wednesday for the 2006 campaign trail gaffe that some took as suggesting U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq were undereducated. He contended the remark was aimed at Bush, not the soldiers.

In 1972, as he ran for the House, he was less apologetic in his comments about the merits of a volunteer army. He declared in the questionnaire that he opposed the draft but considered a volunteer army "a greater anathema."

"I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown," Kerry wrote. "We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply 'doing its job.'

"Equally as important, a volunteer army with our present constitutional crisis takes accountability away from the president and put the people further from control over military activities," he wrote.

Kerry's spokesman, David Wade, said Wednesday the historical document needed to be viewed in the era in which it was written but that it nonetheless raised a "bedrock question in a time of war when sacrifice should be shared by all Americans."

"These are the words 34 years ago of a 28-year-old veteran home from a war gone wrong, wondering who in America will bear the cost of battle and shoulder the responsibility of military service," Wade said.

Kerry filled out the candidate questionnaire at the request of Massachusetts Political Action for Peace, an anti-war group that decades later turned over its historical documents to university researchers.

AP obtained the document from someone who gathered it from archives during Kerry's unsuccessful 2004 presidential campaign against President Bush. Republicans in that election relentlessly assailed Kerry's role in the anti-war movement decades earlier.

Kerry and Bush renewed their rivalry again this week, with the president accusing Kerry of offending troops. Kerry said he botched the text of a joke and didn't mean to insult troops.

On Wednesday, Kerry canceled campaign appearance on behalf of Democratic congressional candidates and issued an apology.

Another botched joke, I guess.

Kerry says U.S. troops "terrorizing" Iraqi women and children


On Sunday's edition of CBS's "Face the Nation", Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) said in an interview with Bob Schieffer that U.S. troops were terrorizing Iraqi women and children.

Here's a blurb from the transcript:

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs."


And then he tells us who needs to be terrorizing the women and children:

"Whether you like it or not... Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all of the talk of 210,000 people trained, there just is no excuse for not transferring more of that authority."

 

[Master Capper]

Kerry should issue his rersignation as soon as Dickless Cheney issues his resignatiion. If you want a guy to resign for telling the truth then surely you want a guy to resign for being a liar. Then again it looks like another GOP back er on the far religious right wing that was so against gay rights, now has been linked to paying a male prostitute and buying drugs. Sad thing is that this is becoming very typical of the current GOP which basis their philosphy on do what I say, but not as I do.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

". If you want a guy to resign for telling the truth then surely you want a guy to resign for being a liar."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

do I really need to comment---liberal logic--the gift that keeps giving --
3 cheers--:nono: :nono: :nono:


and on one of your leaders remarks yesterday--Pelosi--
"The president has the worst jobs record since the Great Depression, and the economy is slowing due to the housing slump."

Would you classify that a lie- blatant studity or just liberal logic--and what about those that fall for the grft--would they fall into the grouping Edward refers to as superior intellectuals???

Could we get a list of quotes from liberals on their predictions of how the tax cuts would devestate the economy?

I believe Tax cuts done the right way can even grow the economy more then now. There are still weak spots that could get help. Anything that takes five years to really take hold is not the best. There has to be ways to get things moving faster in less then that.
