Is John Kerry Still in Politics?

From USNewsWire.com, September 16, 2005:

John Kerry Responds to President Bush's Speech to the Nation

9/15/2005 9:54:00 PM


WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Below is a statement from Senator John Kerry on President Bush's address tonight on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina:

"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number. Leadership is getting the job done. No American doubts that New Orleans will rise again, they doubt the competence and commitment of this Administration. Weeks after Katrina, Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared. Americans want to know that their government will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe, not speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable."

Uhhh, this is why you're not President there, John. Let's see, you state that "Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared." How 'bout the blame-game, race-baiting, and finger-pointing ALL coming from the left side of the aisle (last I checked, those were, uhmm, Democrats) in the past two weeks --- while Bill Frist and other Republicans were on the ground, feet wet, hands dirty, arms extended, to help those suffering in LA, MS, and AL??? Smells of politics-as-usual to anyone with a brain and without a liberal hell-bent agenda. What about a "government who will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe" --- where does voting against nearly every missile defense system strategy and needed military supplies over the course of your 20-year role as Senator fall in as to keeping us safe??? Finally, how do you justify your attack on the President as missing it on leadership while only giving "speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable" --- by voting for $87 billion before voting against it??? Hmm. Where are you and where is your 'party of the people' now, John? Exactly. Mainly nestled away comfortly in D.C., running their mouths instead of putting words to action for the American people. This should be great for Dems in election year '06. Nice try --- you're no more relevant to American politics as you were in 1971 when you shamed the U.S. Military or at the end of the day on Nov 3 2004. Oh, did you know that you served in Vietnam and were awarded three purple hearts? Don't think we heard enough of THAT in the last three years. Too bad it did no good in your losing the election to an "AWOL" former air national guardsman. Dang it, I forgot --- it's the economy, stupid. Right.
