John Kerry – Open Mouth and Insert Foot
I’ve sat back and listened to the debate of what John Kerry said and didn’t say about his little “joke.” Quite frankly I’m disgusted at what he said about our troops in Iraq. I know what I heard him say and it was a bash against our troops and NOT against President Bush.
His refusal to admit what he said was wrong but not unusual for John Kerry. He’s had a lot of time to play the blame game. Back during the Vietnam War he blamed the soldiers for atrocities and said he was blaming the administration. Now let me get this right. If two kids on a school playground are fighting, then the blame must go to the teacher, administrators, principal or even the school board – because these children are fighting?
I also am offended by his remarks that if we didn’t get his joke as a bash against this administration that we were stupid. Well, excuse me Mr. Kerry, I’m a mere mortal and have learned throughout the years that us mere mortals take responsibility for our words, actions and deeds. But you must consider yourself not a mortal but something higher!
Finally, after almost two days of his arrogant attitude refusing to apologize, I see that he apologized for his botched joke. Not good enough for me. He didn’t say, I’m sorry that I said that about our troops, he didn’t say that he didn’t mean it, but he did say that he botched the joke and is apologizing for it. That is narcissism at its highest! He’s never wrong but everyone else is.
So once again John Kerry has opened his mouth and inserted his foot. I am very proud of our troops and know that they chose to serve their country. I saw some stats this morning that said that 99% of our soldiers are all high school graduates and that the average age is 26 years old. No drop outs here or no uneducated soldiers as far as I can see.
John Kerry is still living in the past and as far as I am concerned he will never get out of the Vietnam Era. Grow up, John, take responsibility for your words and actions and start acting like a true patriot. But then you would have to be a mere mortal to do that.
Until later,
Linda
