Gawd....there's so much "low-hanging fruit" that I won't even build up a sweat reaching for the more-obscure quotes of Messr. "SKerry" ;-) Hey, I'm tapering....I'm not supposed to be building a big sweat this week, anyway (heh-heh). BTW, #2 is an added bonus: another quote from good old Ter-ay-zah about Laura Bush.
#1. Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. In 1994, discussing the possibility of U.S. troops being killed in Bosnia he said, "If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no." An article in the National Review, circa 1995.
#2. "Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don't know that she's ever had a real job - I mean, since she's been grown up."
- Hmm.... this one is interesting, considering that Laura first received a B.S. in education from SMU in 1968 before teaching in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973, she went back to school and attained an M.S. in Library Science and worked as a school librarian in Austin. It seems to me that Ter-ay-zah's main avocation has been in marrying rich men and spending their money on ultra-liberal causes of which the richest of them all (a Republican Senator) would most likely have disapproved.
Okay, back to Messr. "SKerry" (hee-hee)
#3. "There were all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harrassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns , which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered by the government of the United States from the top down." From Kerry's April 18, 1971 testimony. Guess this makes him a self-admitted war criminal, huh?
#4. "Did the training wheels fall off?" John Kerry's comment after hearing that George Bush fell off his bike. 2004. Nice guy.
#5. "I don't fall down. The son of a bitch knocked me over." John Kerry after falling when a Secret Service agent accidentally got in his way on March 19, 2004.
#6. "When it was popular to be a Massachusetts liberal, his voting record was that. When it was popular to be for the Iraq War he was for it. Now it's popular to be against it, and he's against it." Jay Carson, a Dean campaign spokesman.
#7. "The Senator with the most special interest money over the last 15 years is John Kerry, who's just been running around telling all Americans how he's going to get the special interests and don't let the door hit you on the way out. That is exactly what's wrong with American politics and that's why 50 percent of the people in this country don't vote." Howard Dean on February 1st, 2004.
#8. "I don't own an SUV" said John Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies....Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the SUV. "The family has it. I don't have it," he said. The Guardian. April 23rd, 2004.
#9. "Kerry then went on to promise that the 8 to 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. would be given a "path to citizenship" in his first 100 days in office". Matt Hayes at FOXNews describes a promise made by John Kerry at a national conference of the race identity group "La Raza" (The Race).
#10. "John Kerry is a down-the-line liberal who won election as Lieutenant-Governor by emphasizing his anti-war credentials." The Economist, April 21st, 1984.
#11. "Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture don't have the judgement to be president or the capability to be elected president." John Kerry, December 20th, 2003.
#12. "Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror, and therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that, and I disagree with the Governor (Howard Dean)." John Kerry, December 15th, 2003.
#13. "I agree completely with this Administration's goal of a regime change in Iraq - Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations." John Kerry, July 29th, 2002.
#14. "I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations." John Kerry, 1970.
#15. "John Kerry said yesterday that he will treat the war on terror "primarily" as law-enforcement action..." Washinton Times, April 19th, 2004.
Ooh...and I LOVE this one:
#16. "When you cut tax rates, employment always goes up. The idea that you can increase taxes and stimulate the economy is pretty damn stupid." Edward Prescott, Arizona State University Professor of Economics and the 2004 Nobel Prize winner for Economics, voicing his disagreement with Mr. Kerry on taxes and outsourcing. From the Arizona Republic, October 19th, 2004 "Nobelist Prescott Lauds Bush Policies"
And last, but not least, and from the venerable New York Times (Todd S. Purdum reporting in the January 25th, 2004 edition):
#17. "Mr. Kerry voted for the USA Patriot Act, Mr. Bush's No Child Left Behind education bill and the Congressional resolution authorizing the president to use force in Iraq, only to sharply criticize all three once he became a presidential candidate. Mr. Kerry counters that his quarrel is with Mr. Bush's execution of the policies, but he has struggled for months to explain his shifting stance on the Iraq war."
This is just a small sample of quotable quotes from Kamp Kerry over the years. I've left out John "Benny Hinn" Edwards and his "heal the sick, raise the dead" pronouncements of the last week or so. I would've had a few of his.....but I couldn't stop laughing long enough to get them down on paper (figuratively).
Face it guys....Messr. Kerry is trying to be all things to all people. He's gone on the attack the last week in a desperate attempt to shore up his sagging poll numbers, and is saying anything, no matter how outrageous or untrue in a calculated attempt at winning the election. He believes, like almost all liberals, that the good result at the end (his election) justifies all of the bad stuff done along the road to get to the desired result. Take the Mary Cheney incident as illustrative of this point.
He'd sell out his "integrity, integrity, integrity" spouting mother in order to get into the Oval Office, if she weren't already dead.
Now, I want to see some counterattacks by all the Kerry-ites out there. And remember, I've got to get my fanny-perpendicular down to Orlando tomorrow morning, so I want to see 'em TONIGHT! (hee-hee)
