Kerry on Meet the Press

[underpants]

Russert (lead in)"what would John Kerry do about Iraq? Social Security? we will talk to him and also ask him about his future and the future of the Democratic party"

Hey Russert did Kerry cover what he would do in the campaign? Were you not paying attention or did you not care?

[Hello_Kitty]

1. Of course not.

It was far too important to point out things like he called Mary Cheney a lesbian. :eyes:

[underpants]

3. Kerry had to reiterate his 4 points for Iraq to Russert

Kerry said that no one in the US should overhype this election it is the Iraqi people's day.

[mairceridwen]

4. Mary Cheney is a LESBIAN?!?!?!?!?!

*snicker*

[madrchsod]

2. why do i care what he thinks?

right now i care if there are enough republicans that will stop bush`s social security plunder.

[Hello_Kitty]

5. Say what you will about John Kerry

But watching him on MTP only underscores how he's so much smarter than * it's not even funny. Instead of 4 years of listening to this intelligent and articulate man we get the incoherent ramblings of an idiot legacy frat boy. :mad:

[underpants]

7. Clearly-also the war hero still has to defend himself

Russert actually took a page right from Hannity and asked about Kerry signing Form 180 no mention of W not signing it either.

Kerry defended that he WAS on the Cambodia border in December 1968 and DID go into Cambodia on another occasion it was just that he blended the two together.

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

32. And, the reason this keeps on happening is Kerry's reluctance...

If he had the (political) balls to call these folks for what they are, the whole issue of would be put to rest. Instead, he uses soft-spoken nuance to address the false claims. Reason and well-thought out retorts didn't work for Gore when they attacked his honesty, and this same method of response IS NOT working for Kerry.

6. 'Is Iraq better off without Saddam' goddamit get a new question

This whole interview is bullshit. Who cares?

[underpants]

8. I'm watching it on delay

Russert is such a douchebag

[lonestarnot]

9. Do you think bushitler paying him too?

[underpants]

10. Russert? No

GE pays him plenty to do the same.

[lonestarnot]

13. GE the same people who paid to launch Cassini with 72 lbs of plutonium

to slingshot earth without a peep from the media?

[blm]

11. In a way. GE is paying Russert and they are making BIG $$$ on Bush's wars.

.

[underpants]

12. "The President is hyping a fake crisis

the real crisis is 40 million people without healthcare.

Russert was almost screaming at him "Do you agree with yourself?" Kerry is sticking with his guns and throwing it back in Russerts face.

[blm]

16. Russert didn't get into details about Kerry's healthcare for all kids?

But, he had time to give rw talking points?

[underpants]

19. It appeared that Russert has never heard of John Kerry or anything

he stands for.

Russert took this right off of Hannity's program.

[gumby]

14. Timewarp.

Russert sucks, Big Time.
Of course Kerry didn't talk about election fraud. Oh, no, wouldn't be nice. Gave the dog-eared answer that he lost the election 'cause Bush is a War Preznit. BAH!

[Blue_Roses]

15. just now coming on here now

Brian Williams is on. Kerry's next. I'm already wanting to send Timmy an email and I haven't even seen this interview yet. I stopped watching Timmy after the election.

He's on now--damn I wish we had him as our President:(

[derby378]

17. "The world is less safe today than it was 2 1/2 years ago."

Too bad Kerry voted to allow Bush to invade Iraq in the first place...

[blm]

20. Blame Bush for not following the IWR. Why let Bush off the hook?

If the IWR was followed properly, it would have prevented invasion because of its emphasis on weapons inspections.

[derby378]

25. You miss the point

Kerry trusted Bush to follow the rules. We never did trust the Oaf of Office. And we were right.

[blm]

26. YOU missed the point. Resolutions are to PREVENT war through applied

guidelines.

Keep blaming the IWR and those who supported it, and you are letting that oaf of office off the hook for his decisions.

[derby378]

27. No IWR, no Iraq invasion

Nobody's letting Bush off the hook. But the Democrats don't have to make his job so damned easy.

[blm]

29. Wrong. They were prepared to use the UN resolution from 1991

that allowed military force if Iraq was in violation of its guidelines. Iraq was already in violation, since, at the time, there were no weapons inspections allowed since 1998.

Blame the IWR and you let Bush OFF THE HOOK.

[Blue_Roses]

23. that is the most

overquoted and misunderstood response to his vote.:eyes:

[spooked]

18. Russert asked Kerry if America is safer without Saddam in power...

Kerry, said Yes, of course.


THE QUESTION should not be whether WE ARE SAFER...

It should be ARE THE IRAQIS SAFER WITHOUT SADDAM?

I would say NO to that!!

[derby378]

21. Ken Mehlman is a poisonous snake

Russert's dogpiling Kerry with one of Mehlman's Bund speeches.

[underpants]

22. God Mehlman said they offered hope and freedom over fear

Bizarro world

[derby378]

24. Condi is "competent" and "remarkable" - WTF?

Then why the hell did you vote against her?

[underpants]

28. He pointed out that she had been one of the main architects & salesperson

for the failed US policies of the last 4 years.

He had a lot of respect for her "life journey" but she continually failed since 2001.

[DemonFighterLives]

30. Kinda lame interview all in all

Kerry still doesn't want to take off the gloves. He has his chances time after time and only delivers baby punches. :crazy:

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

31. Hell will freeze over before I waste my vote on Kerry again...

MTP interview only reinforced what I suspected all along...Kerry is a loser. If he had a BACKBONE, he would have come out strong against the swiftboat liers when Russert threw him the opportunity. No one likes a political pussy.

JB

[Toucano]

40. Have you ever considered

that when you use "pussy" as in insult that you devalue all women?

How can we ever expect girls to develop a good self-esteem if we continue to send that message?

It's up to us to shape the world we live in. Consider using "coward" or "courage" instead of "pussy" or "balls".

Thanks for your consideration.

[against all enemies]

33. Russert, why don't you ask Bush questions about Iraq?

Timmy still asking about Kerry's Vietnam record. "were you in Cambodia on Christmas Eve?" Who gives a flying leap? Why not ask Bush were the fuck he was for the 6 years he was supposedly in the Guard. Oh that's right, Bush gets a pass on everything. This is a good day to avoid the "news", wait for Jon Stewart tomorrow night.

[derby378]

36. I'll tell you why he won't

1. Russert can't get past the Secret Service and Bush's own handlers, including Karl Rove, without permission.

2. If Russert ever threw those questions at Bush, he'd be given the Karl Rove treatment, just like Dan Rather and the author of Fortunate Son.

[tjdee]

34. He's so obviously running for President '08.

So obviously that it's kind of disgusting, except I'll vote for him again if he gets the nomination.

Sigh.

[mattclearing]

35. Democrat is not an adjective, John Kerry.

Goddamnit, that pisses me off. I swear he said, "Democrat Party."

And I like Kerry.

Jesus.

edited for typo

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. John Kerry is still the one! he truly knows what is best for the people ..

and trumps hillary hands down for 2008...in my humble educated opinion

[ElsewheresDaughter]

38. John Kerry "supports Howard Dean for DNC chair"!!!

[KittyWampus]

41. Really?

[GetTheRightVote]

39. So Kerry can be smart some of the time, Dean for DNC is a smart move

I give him some credit for that promotion, but I still am not sure of Kerry. I give him points for the health care for all children as well. I hope he keeps moving in the right direction but he needs to become stronger in our true Democratic values, start support withdrawal from Iraq. This action would score him big points with me. It is time he jump on the band wagon with the rest of us.

:kick:
