Mandated by "No Child Left Behind" (just ocurred to me how much that resembles the informal Marine motto of "No Man Left Behind"...)

Right, so you avoided participating in the conversation by turning it to an entirely different subject. Glad we agree. Just like you, and everyone else who is outraged about Kerry, took what he ACTUALLY said, changed the meaning, and created the outrage based on that. Now that we're all caught up...

Then again… actually following what Christ said has never been all that popular among most Christians, so it’s not all that surprising IMO.

I'm still trying to figure out the REAL reason for the outrage and popularity of Kerry bashing. It seems like such a non-issue when you look at the scope of shyt going on.

Can someone tell me WHY this statement is so news worthy?

You are going to twist this however you like.

Have at it.

Because it's so easy?

Not Afraid 11-02-2006 11:21 AM

So, all newsworthy events must be easy? Who cares what Kerry said, let along what he meant. He's such a non-entity at the moment. Well, I guess that's changed. He's got all eyes on him now. What a way to get publicity, and how dumb are we all for giving it to him?

SacTown Chronic 11-02-2006 11:22 AM

Dumber than the average soldier, apparently.

Not Afraid 11-02-2006 11:24 AM

Hey, I'm "plenty smart".


Damn. Forget about Kerry. Bush says funnier things.

I suspect mainly because as a high profile dem- it can be considered a concern that maybe more high profile dems in the Senate are akin to him in views- which is certainly a point to drive home during an election.

I don't want people like him running the country- of course there are people who do. I want them to lose. They want me to lose-

It would be a mistake to think that if a member of the GOP had made a verbal gaffe like that, that it would be ignored. The left would use it in their campaign too.

(is it any coincidence that the word campaign has "pain" in it)
