John Kerry's insulting and demeaning remarks about our troops and his half hearted "apology" are not enough. Trent Lott did the honorable deed and resigned when his remarks offended some people at Strom Thurmonds birthday party. Lott's remarks did not even come close to the offensive stab at our troops uttered by Kerry. It is clear that Kerry has nothing but the utmost disdain for the military and has the record to prove it. He feels that his three month tour in Vietnam qualifies him as a combat hero but there is no need to hash all that out again. I call upon all our elected leaders, both democrat and republican to call upon Kerry to resign over his shameful remarks. For the record here is his 10/31/06 quote, "You know, education, if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you -- you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." John McCain had the best response, "Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education.
“Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
“They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night.
“Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.”
Perhaps the mainsteam media would be more on top of Kerry if he called our troops macacas instead of stupid.
