| 25. And millions upon millions of people both in the US and worldwide |
|
Saw through that sham, and knew exactly what Bush would do once he got the IWR through, go to war no matter what. Millions called upon their Congressmen and Senators, begging them not to vote for the IWR, for they knew what a sham it was. In fact messeges to the various Congressional members was running 280-1 against the IWR. Is it too much to ask of a Senator to due his A number 1 job and represent his constituents?
Sorry friend, that arguement just doesn't fly. If Kerry is that dumb to be taken in by Bush, when millions of ordinary Americans, who don't have the kind of access Kerry does, knew that the IWR was a sham, then quite frankly, the man is too dumb for the highest office in the land.
If Kerry cannot fulfill the primary requirement for his job, representing the will of his constituents, then he is not fit to be promoted.
Spin, distortion, and after the fact explanations cannot undo the reality of what Kerry did, which was authorize an illegal, immoral war. The best Kerry can do is to make amends for his mistake, yet he isn't even doing that. Instead, he calling for more money and more troops to be thrown into the fray, with only a vague promise of getting the troops home before the end of his first term. Sorry, but it seems to me that Kerry is still for this war.
