Republicans Playing Dirty Politics with Kerry's Comments
11.01.06 (10:10 am)   [edit]

Senator John Kerry (D-Mass) is heavily being criticized about a botched joke about the war in Iraq.  Republicans are taking his comment out of context in attempts to turning the attention away from the issues in order to gain ground for this coming Tuesdays election.

His comment, which I have heard but do not have the official transcript of, was directed to the president and his staff not our brave men and women fighting oversees like the Republicans are trying to say.  His comment was saying that if you don't study hard, you will "get stuck in Iraq."  This might sound offensive if you don't know the true context of the matter.  Prior to saying this statement, Senator Kerry was talking about the president and his administration.  No where in his speech was he talking about the troops in Iraq.  Republicans are trying to spin his words to put Democrats on the defensive.

With the election on 6 days away, Republicans are willing to do anything to gain some sort of support in an effort to swing the vote and maintain control of Congress.  It is desperate times for the Republican party right now, because they know they are on the verge of losing control of the House and possibly the Senate as well.

Personally attacking Senator Kerry for his remarks, remarks taken out of context, does not surprise me just how low they are willing to stoop.  This is typical Republican behavior.  If they can't beat you on the issues, they stoop to personal attacks to get the attention drawn away from the issues that should be in the spotlight.  This is nothing but a form of dirty politics, and it shows the true colors of a party that says it's based on moral and ethical values.

republicans are always reading between the lines to take out and propagate a meaning of their own.
