Is it really possible that Kerry has more than 50% of the population supporting him?  With statements like this?  Incredible.

Seth, 50% of us support him for president because of the rest of the quote that wasn’t cited here.  Follow the links.

That’s the insult levied at liberals, right?  Take things out of context for either candidate and you can make either look like bumbling idiots.

Here’s the last part of that quote:

Kerry: But that’s what you have inspectors for. And that’s why I voted for the threat of force. Because he only does things when you have a legitimate threat of force. It’s absolutely impossible and irresponsible to suggest that if I were president, he wouldn’t necessarily be gone. He might be gone. Because if he hadn’t complied, we might have had to go to war. And we might have gone to war. But if we did, I’ll tell you this, Tom. We’d have gone to war with allies in a way that the American people weren’t carrying the burden. And the entire world would have understood why we were doing it.

Let’s see, he talks about inspectors despite the fact that Saddam wasn’t cooperating with the inspectors.  He emphasizes indecision about taking out Saddam.  Then he spews more nonsense about getting more allies involved in Iraq when clear the allies he’s talking about (France, Germany, etc.) aren’t interested in going to Iraq.  Not to mention the fact that the statement is an oblique jab at our current allies.

I don’t really see much that’s awe-inspiring there.

Lauren,

I never suggested that Kerry is a dumb bumbling idiot.  I’ve said “Traitorous slime”, but I’ve never called him dumb. 

As for liberals, I think Churchill said it best “If you’re not a liberal by 20 you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative by 40 you have no brains.”

Honestly, I am surprised that 2% of the population supports him.  I can only guess that CNN, NBC, NYT, Et al are not doing their jobs in reporting about Kerry.  Hmmmm… what are the chances of that?

By the way, the Robin Hood mentality is a bad thing to live your life by, but you’ll learn that at some point, I’m sure.

’Then he spews more nonsense about getting more allies involved in Iraq when clear the allies he’s talking about (France, Germany, etc.) aren’t interested in going to Iraq.’

Not interested? I’m sorry? The sentence should read ‘not interested in going to Iraq on whatever terms American dictates.’

France provided 10,000 troops for Operation Desert Storm. Clearly the actions of a craven, corrupt power.

The fact that Germany is unwilling to provide military support stems from its profound pacifism as a nation - an entirely understandable position given the horrors of the two global conflicts of the twentieth century it precipitated.

Yes, Seth.  Young, dumb, full of whatever.  When I grow up I want to be just as disillusioned and cynical as you.

Another one of Churchill’s ideas - gassing the Kurds.

Mark, France has said that they will not send troops to Iraq.  Period.  And, given the fact that France was in Saddam Hussein’s pocket, I don’t think we want them there.  They did enough for Iraqi’s through the corrupt oil for food program.
