I Thought McCain and Kerry We're All "Buddy Buddy"?

Apparently not... and I'm very glad to see Kerry distance himself from the RW warmongers.

Here it is straight off of http://www.johnkerry.com :

KERRY'S RESPONSE TO BUSH WHO ATTACKED VETERAN JOHN KERRY DURING A VETERANS DAY SPEECH:

"I wish President Bush knew better than to dishonor America's veterans by playing the politics of fear and smear on Veterans Day....This administration misled a nation into war by cherry-picking intelligence and stretching the truth beyond recognition. That's why Scooter Libby has been indicted. That's why a statement in the State of the Union Address was retracted. Today they continue the same games hoping Americans forget the mess they made in Iraq that's cost over 2,000 Americans their lives and their failure to find Osama bin Laden. Americans will not forget, and neither will those of us who defend our country by asking tough questions and demanding a new course in Iraq."

KERRY'S RESPONSE TO MCCAIN WHO CALLED KERRY PLAN "PATH TO DISASTER"

"The path forward in Iraq must defeat the insurgency and keep faith with our troops, rather than be driven by the politics of the Republican base or rigid adherence to President Bush's aimless course. The plan I have offered would correct our course. The speech Sen. McCain delivered does not... The way forward in Iraq is not to pull out precipitously or merely promise to stay 'as long as it takes.' To undermine the insurgency, we need to pursue both a political settlement and the withdrawal of American combat forces linked to specific, responsible benchmarks - beginning with the completion of successful December elections. ...It's essential if we want to correct our course and do what's right for our troops instead of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. No matter what anyone says, providing a better course isn't a road to disaster, it's patriotism."

Kerry should forget about the presidency and stay in the Senate where he can provide direction and leadership. He is right on this one

He make a good Senator yet, but he will never be president. He finally got his footing on this subject, but it took someone else to give him a push. So I say keep pushing Sen Kerry, and stay in the Senate...

.

He has been saying the right thing for many years.

Can't wait to reconvene the "mother of all BCCI investigations" with JK on the point when we take back Congress in 2006. People are going to be mighty surprised where the real "terrorists" are. Hint: the least effective ones are on the battlefields, the most effective ones are in the boardrooms.

.

Not since McCain was all kissy huggy with Bush, anyway. You can see Kerry avoid McCain on the Senate floor sometimes.

who knows what he will do if elected but he's decided to tack hard right and worry about reality later. i think he may well be as much of a disaster as bush if he becomes president. not in the sense that his policies will be as bad - but he will face some real hard choices picking up from bush's mess and frankly i think he's a vaccilator.

to get their support. That's not leadership.

even any Repubs. What does that tell you?
