First off, I'm not a Democrat, much less a Fascist Republican. I'm a card-carrying Socialist, but in this country most people honestly do not know what that means (oh, and to you immigration Nazis - I am a legal American citizen). Regardless, the best I can do to express my political preferences is to vote Democrat, which entitles me to espouse why I believe the Dems may have blown it come Tuesday.
No, it's not what Kerry said about lack of education and the military (albeit that being true), it's about the fact that he f-u-c-k-i-n-g pussed out and apologized for it. Lest we forget, John Kerry is no longer the poster child for the Democratic Party (as a matter-of-fact, one of the biggest problems the Dems have is that there is no admirable, worthy person to represent their party). But, if you chose to make a comment that is taken out of context and republished by the likes of Hannidy and that idiot nimrod, Tucker Carlson, AND your own party will not back you up, why the hell do you back down and apologize? Grow some balls, or at least attempt a nutsack, for fuck sake.
Let me tell you about the military.
Case #1 - I am an Army brat, my father was one of the poorest kids I'd ever heard about. When he graduated high school in bumfuck Oklahoma, it was either work for the county picking up trash on I-20 or join the military if he wanted a college education. He chose the military. After 25 years, he retired, an officer with a lucrative pension. Yeah, go Army.
Case #2 - My ex-fiancé was a hell-raising, kick-ass 6'3, 245 pound asshole with an IQ of a hamster who figured out the best way to live life was rage against the machine. Well, when he was 18, The Machine (in the form of a criminal court judge) gave him two choices when he appeared before the Reno court for robbery, drugs, and lots of other sundries that need not be mentioned... GO ARMY or GO JAIL. Guess what he chose? That's easy, right? Guess what his MOS was (for you dipshits out there, that means your specialty)... E.O.D. Explosive Ordinance Division. That's right - the ARMY gave him fucking bombs to play with. Long story short, I finally realized the short fuse on this guy (no pun intended) and left before it got ugly. Turns out, after his stint in Bosnia, he came back to the US, claimed he ruined his back, collected full disability and went on to graduate college with a degree in golf management. Yup, he now lives in San Diego - on your fucking dime - and runs a luxury golf course. I guess we tax monkeys are the dumbnuts.
Case #3 - My office is down the hall from an ARMY ROTC office. Every time I have to use the restroom or go to the water cooler or go to the parking lot, I have to pass by these Neanderthals and all their "Rah, Rah, Rah" posters, pictures of the Bush Nazis, and their conference rooms. Yesterday, I walked passed the room when they were trying to come up with ways to convince the incoming freshmen why it was best for them to sign-up so they wouldn't have to pay their exorbitant college tuition. One assmunch said to tell them the media was wrong... "We won't send you for more than one tour in three years". What? Hello, there are battalions out there on their fourth and fifth fucking tour in Iraq right now and we've "only" been at war for four years. I guess they figure if you're too stupid to read a goddamn newspaper, you're just smart enough to enlist.
Recruiters are amoral pigshits who should rot in hell.
All that being said, I know all about the military. I have lived in countries where the draft is fully in place and men and women gladly join to do their time because they trust their government is not going to send them off to get shot just to fatten the pockets of those on the highest ladder rung. In this country, you generally have a choice when you join the military...
You are:
#1 Stupid
#2 Lazy
#3 Poor
or, my personal favorite
#4 You simply want to blow someone's fucking head off.
Kerry was an idiot for saying what he said. He should have apologized for being an idiot - simple. Go home, John and write a fucking book or something. Better yet, if you're going to open your mouth about the military, why not remind people that you were a Yale grad, lots of dough in pocket, and still volunteered for three fucking tours in Vietnam. That's half the number of times Bush and Cheney were pardoned for service.
Get your shit together, Dems or things will only swirl closer to the ninth circle of Hell.
