Did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam?
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Kerry says Republican John McCain doesn't have the judgment to be president.
If that's the case, then it's probably a good thing McCain rejected overtures from Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, to form a bipartisan ticket and run with Kerry as his candidate for vice president.
Kerry had no kind words for his Senate colleague Sunday, accusing McCain of poor decision-making on everything from backing tax cuts for the wealthy to making support for continuing the U.S. military presence in Iraq the centerpiece of his presidential campaign.
"John McCain … has proven that he has been wrong about every judgment he's made about the war. Wrong about the Iraqis paying for the reconstruction, wrong about whether or not the oil would pay for it, wrong about Sunni and Shia violence through the years, wrong about the willingness of the Iraqis to stand up for themselves," Kerry, who supports Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"If you like the Bush tax cut and what it's done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, then John McCain is going to give you a third term of George Bush and Karl Rove," the Massachusetts senator added, echoing an Obama campaign talking point.
Kerry later said the McCain of 2008 isn't the McCain he courted in 2004.
"John McCain has changed in profound and fundamental ways that I find personally really surprising, and frankly upsetting. It is not the John McCain as the senator who defined himself, quote, as a maverick, though questionable," Kerry said. "This is want-to-be president John McCain. The result is that John McCain has flip-flopped on more issues than I was even ever accused possibly of thinking about."
McCain adviser Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said McCain was the one who stood up to the administration and urged President Bush to send more U.S. troops to Iraq to help control violence. Obama did not support the addition of troops.
Violence in Iraq has dropped to its lowest level in more than four years as a result of the 2007 buildup of forces.
Will the person who is not sick and tired of hearing from John Kerry, who is also not John Kerry, please stand up? He's like a parasite that simply won't go away! What am I talking about; he's a Democrat... of course he's a parasite. The unmitigated gaul it must take for a man like John Kerry to attack his "old friend" John McCain after considering him for his VP in 2004. John "Reporting for Duty" Kerry is a complete waste of space and time.
It wasn't John McCain that Kerry adored, it was the fact McCain spits in the faces of conservatives every chance he gets. McCain changes policies such as domestic drilling to help regain his base and maybe win the election, and Kerry changes his feelings for McCain because McCain changed his policies. Follow that? Kerry points the finger at McCain for doing the same thing which Kerry is guilty of as he is doing the thing he is blaming McCain for! If that made no sense at all to you; good. It means you probably aren't a Democrat who enjoys stabbing his "friends" in the back. I barely made it through the sentence myself.
I don't know what to say other than: the Swift Boat Veterans told you so!
