Great article. Thanks for posting. He is SOOOOOOOOO right.
But unfortunately for us, Kerry did say something stupid.
He opened his mouth and said something that could easily easily easily be turned around and used to the advantage of his opposing party.
This is politics. It is a contact sport, it is muckraking at its worst. Dubya and company have been spinning things from day one. This is their modus operandi. For Kerry to forget this is headshaking.
I used to have a Washington Post article - I think I have it on my computer at work - that was printed during the election year that quoted Kerry, then gave Bush's spin on what he said.
It was never the same.
Kerry never protested this then, which infuriated me and he never protested this newest spin either, simply because he realized much too late that he hurt a lot of people who are sadly either truly not intelligent enough to follow Kerry's line of thought or are very ready to be offended.
Kerry needs to be very direct when he speaks - 'or like our President, end up in Iraq' and forget about subtleties. The American newspapers are designed to be read by a person with a 6th grade education. Many people watch television because reading and have to read between the lines is either too difficult or something they were never taught.
Subtleties are lost on most of America.
