White House Attacks Kerry's Iraq Comment in Shameless Diversion Tactic

I guess since the Republican Party has no plans to bring home the troops from Iraq, or a coherent policy for winning the peace there, they'll attack John Kerry instead.

It's really shameful. This is just another stunt by the White House to paint Kerry as some sort of critic of the troops and by extension the Democratic Party. Give me a BREAK!!!

Kerry's fighting to protect these men and women who risk their lives, while Bush is using them as political pawns.

Who's the real patriot? Here’s a hint. It ain't the President.

Republicans No Longer "Staying the Course" in Iraq

So, Bush has burried the slogan, "Stay the Course" referring to American Troops in Iraq, now if only he would bury the policy that matches the slogan.

We even hear whispers and rumors of some secret new Republican plan to "succeed" in Iraq, but they can't say any more until after the 2006 midterm election apparently. Here's Kerry's reaction to this news...indignant and rightly so! - IFK Editor

STEPHANOPOULOS: Some are suggesting that the White House actually is thinking about a radical change in strategy, but they’re going to wait until after the elections.

KERRY: Well, there you go. That’s a really beautiful thing. While young Americans are on the line and their lives…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you think that’s happening?

KERRY: I think it’s immoral to have the lives of young Americans being put on the line, waiting for an election day event or strategy. If you’ve got a better strategy, Mr. President, we deserve to have it now.

And the fact is that, for 3 1/2 years, we’ve been sitting here with a strategy that many of us have said, again and again and again, will not work. It will not work. Our own generals have said there’s no military solution. What are we doing?

We’re pursuing the same old, same old. And the president, contrary to what he said in the interview, has said again and again, we’re going to stay the course. And he keeps playing this demagogue card that somehow it’s a white flag of surrender, in the United States of America, to suggest the way to actually get the job done.

We don’t have to sit around and be bullied by a bunch of people who have misled America, lied to America and, in fact, have made America less safe. And I’m not going to stand for it.

10 Reasons the Democrats deserve your vote in Nov. 2006

OK, lets do a little side by side comparison of the two parties. Which one would you trust to lead you? Which one will you vote for this Novemeber?

DEMOCRATS Telling the truth on Iraq - The course is broken. A new strategy is needed. Fighting a smarter war on terrorism - fully funding port security and implementing the homeland security commission recommendations. Protecting Social Security - a promise is a promise. Fighting for affordable healthcare for all - Healthcare should be a right not a privilege. Offering solutions for energy independence - incentives for new technologies and no more tax cuts for big oil. Balancing the budget - common sense budgets. Cut spending and yes raise some taxes. Protecting your drinking water, air, and environment - It's the only one we have. Cutting global warming emissions - rejoin the world's efforts to stop global warming. Lead the way with technology research. Ending Special Interest Hold over Washington - give power back to the voters. Working for the Middle Class and those who aspire to join it - give everyone a chance with affordable education, decent wages and a safety net.

REPUBLICANS Lies, Lies, Lies about Iraq. No Weapons of Mass Destruction. No ties to Osama bin Laden. No real plan to win the peace. War in Iraq creating more insurgent terrorists rather than defeating them. Tried to Dismantle Social Security, the most popular government program in American history. OK with 40 million uninsured Americans and a drug bill that benefits the drug companies. Leave no Oil company behind policy instead of planning how Americans will have secure affordable energy in the future. Spending, spending, spending - your children are inheriting a crushing debt. Destroying our natural resources and poisoning our water, air and neighborhoods. What global warming? Can you say Katrina? Pandering to lobbyists, right wing extremists and illegal fundraisers. Working to hold power even if means coving up a sexual scandal involving minors.
