How about New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg's rant on the Senate floor yesterday?
LAUTENBERG: Come on, America, face up to what we're doing here. This is the ultimate disgrace. Risk your life and then be abused by those in highest office in the country. The chicken hawk has no idea what it means to have the courage to put your life at risk to defend this nation. But they're quick to disparage those who did sacrifice. I don't understand how their conscience permits them to challenge Senator Kerry's commitment to our nation's defense. Mr. President, the reality is that the chicken hawks in this administration are doing a lousy job of bolstering our nation's defense and supporting the troops.
Right now, the Dems are simply ratcheting up the attack machine to draw attention away from Kerry's medal lies. In doing so, they're demoralizing soldiers, encouraging terrorists, and undermining a must-win effort in Iraq. What they're doing is the definition of treason: They're hoping that the failure of the Iraqi effort, the death of more troops, and things to going sideways in any way they can will somehow make the American people think that it's all President Bush's fault....and I see this as completely immoral and THE reason not to vote Democrat.....perhaps ever again.
This "attack a day" strategy is serving nothing more than show the Democrat's true colors. They've labeled our president every name in the book and repeated it, over and over hoping that it will somehow stick in American's heads and cause then to accept it as fact.
Isn't it funny how the Dems are touting John Kerry as a "hero" of a war they so passionately opposed? Do you know that Kerry was in Vietnam for something like four months? And his purple-heart-earning wounds were nothing more than "band-aid" type stuff?
But, question his record and get hit with the "how dare you question a 'war hero's' committment to our country's defense" line. I'm sick of it. John Kerry requested an education deferment AFTER he graduated from college so he could go to Paris and "study" for a year, but was denied and was forced to enter service. Do you ever hear anything about that? Nope. Because John Kerry is the press' hero. Kerry's SERVICE to his country in Vietnam was more than negated by the DISSERVICE he did his fellow soldiers and his country by his activities after returning stateside.
Have you visited any Vietman veteran sites? These people HATE John Kerry because of his anti-war protests while THEY were still fighting...he told congress of the travesties being committed by soldiers and admitted to committing war crimes
himself.
Is there a statute of limitations on war crimes? When he's elected will he be immediately impeached for committing them in Vietnam? And how will relations between Vietnam be if a president is elected who
admits committing war crimes on the people of that country?
So John Kerry says he's committed to defending this country? This is a man who stated the the threat posed by terrorism is exaggerated. And what is he, as a US senator doing right now to prove his committment to protect this country? He and his party are doing everything they possibly can, on all levels, to undermine the fight on terrorism that has been undertaken by President Bush. Good God, they've even used the
senate intelligence committee to play polititics, and when they were discovered, screamed about how the memo outlining these plans was obtained illegally, and, of course, the media played right along. I wanna know, if they think the President's Daily Briefing, a highly classified document should be public info....why aren't these memos? Even the e-mail used by the president is public information.....why weren't these memos, which were stored on a non-secure government-owned server public information? And why are Dems using a committee that is so vitally important right now to play politics? If this isn't dangerous behavior, I don't know what is.
One more thing....the Democrats tout themselves as the party in the spirit of John Kennedy. I gotta tell ya, I think that if JFK knew what his party has become and what the Dems are up to these days.....he'd flip in his grave. His positions have become more right leaning than even some of the republicans serving in congress.
You see Dems, Howard Dean screwed you. I admire Howard Dean from his truthfullness and his straight talk, but he made the anti-war position mainstream in the Democrat party....and John Kerry is having problems "adjusting his postions."
Have you listened to John Kerry speak about what he'd do if he were elected? It's all pscyco-babble and double talk...not to mention impossible. "I'll reach out to the international community and get them to shoulder some of the burden in Iraq".....JOHN, HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA DO THIS?? The UN (I suppose he thinks of the UN as the 'world commmunity') was there. THEY LEFT AFTER THE TERRORIST TRIED TO SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS. (For you folks who are keeping score, that's terrorism-1, UN-0)
What about his other snafus? The letters to two different constituents taking two different positions on the same issue(these were within a couple of weeks of each other), the numerous SUVs that he owns when talking to the Detroit crowd, but doesn't own any when speaking on Earth Day, the thousand dollar hairstyle from the stylists that he flew in for an appearance on "meet the press," the vote "for the 87 billion, BEFORE I voted against it," the war medals that he threw over the fence that weren't his that he doesn't want to talk about, the abortion flip, the education bill flip, Saying he's not gonna make an issue out of President Bush's national guard service and "changing" his mind the Patriot Act flip, the warnings about bad security at Boston's Logan Airport, the missing senate votes in 2003, the outsourcing garbage, the gay marriage non-position, etc, etc, etc.
I think Limbaugh is asking a great question: Dems, if you had to go through the primary process again, would you choose this man a second time? I strongly suspect that the answer would be "no."
War hero, my @ss. This man is more of a "hipster doofus" than even Kramer. Vote your conscience in Novermber.
