Kerry Ignites the GOP Base!


No GOP activist, and even the President has been able to stir up the passion of the GOP Base. Kerry does it for them with one line in a speech to a High School. Remember his "I voted for the war in Iraq, then voted against the War in Iraq" This could the the October surprise for the GOP, and it was served up by Democrat Kerry

With a botched punch line, Sen. Kerry has again given the men and women serving in the armed forces a GUT SHOT, and a black eye.

He should resign and bottle ketchup for remainder of his non productive life.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen.
John Kerry' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> John Kerry said on Wednesday he was sorry about a "botched joke" that drew election-year fire from
President George W. Bush' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> President George W. Bush and other Republicans who accused him of insulting U.S. troops in
Iraq' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Iraq.

Kerry reiterated the target of his joke was Bush, who immediately seized on the senator's remarks to rally Republican supporters ahead of Tuesday's elections, in which the party's control of Congress is at risk.
Kerry said he was returning to Washington from a trip campaigning on behalf of Democratic congressional candidates because he did not want to be "a distraction."
A day after rejecting calls to apologize for his remarks, Kerry, appearing on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show on MSNBC, declared: "I said it was a botched joke. Of course, I'm sorry about a botched joke."
While campaigning in California on Monday, Kerry told a college crowd: "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."
Kerry's office said the senator had misread his prepared remarks. They said he had intended 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' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> President Bush."
