What Kerry said Monday at a campaign rally was this: "You know,
education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your
homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you
don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
A Kerry spokeswoman, Amy Brundage, said later that the
senator's prepared text had called for him to say: "Do you know where
you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're
intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in
Iraq. Just ask President Bush"
I see this as more of advice about how important education is. I do not
see how it insults the troops and I certainly do no not believe that
someone who actually went overseas to fight in a war instead of
skipping national guard duty would ever intend to insult the
troops.
Remember your famous line, "what was the intention?" If you truly
believe that Kerry intended to insult the troops then you are certainly
in the right political wing.
In the past I have made a point of not engaging you over the stream of
Rumsfeld mistakes and lies he has been caught in (on video and print)
because I know that is someone you respect and do not want to see flaws
in. The fact that you would jump on this non-issue and buy into the
White House spin makes me think I should be showing you all the
negative things about him to open your eyes.
Kerry is not someone I care about much one way or the other since he is
not president, it's just the twisting of words and intentions from the
most corrupt administration, senate and congress in modern times gets
very tiresome. Look at your party's recent history of scandals from
Duke Cunningham to Jeff Gannon to Jack Abromoff to Tom Delay to Mark
Foley and a host of others who have disgraced themselves, their
positions and the American people. The Democrats are far from perfect
but the list of indictments and resignations from the republicans is
sickening. The Republicans are the party who run on a "moral" platform
and appear tied at the hip to Christian conservative values and they
currently control all of the branches of government.
