September 12, 2004TIME with KerryBy Karl-Thomas MusselmanKerry sat down with TIME magazine and had some really great stuff to say, a refinement of his campaign message.
It bothers me, too, John. So what you going to do about it?
And that foreign policy stuff?
What's at stake?
Read the full article, it's one of the best interviews I've seen. Posted by Karl-Thomas Musselman at September 12, 2004 06:08 PM | TrackBack

You must be kidding. This article does not mention a SINGLE positive step that John Kerry is going to take in protecting our country. "Getting other countries involved in Iraq" is not a winning game plan for defending our country. "Spending more money on social programs" is not a winning game plan for defending our country. "I'm not George W. Bush" is not a winning game plan for defending our country. Why doesn't he outline a plan for how he is going to pre-emptively take a stand against terror and radical Muslim extremists? Because EVERY SINGLE POLL indicates that Americans believe that he has no idea how he would do that. And that is why Americans still believe George Bush is the best man to protect this country. They KNOW what he is going to do because he has demonstrated his committment to not shift the burden of homeland security to the BS answer of "getting other countries involved in Iraq". Get a new game plan Kerry. Posted by: Chris Elam at September 12, 2004 06:25 PMWhat is Bush's game plan? Please explain it in some detail. Because you may be the only one that can. Rumsfeld cannot even keep Saddam and Osama straight. That's how clued-in these people are. Even W. doesn't think we can win this war. Is their plan business as usual? The usual 2.9 deaths/day? Then what? When does it end? What about the real war on terrorism and Afghanistan? He doesn't even mention that anymore not to mention the 'O' word. How is the country safer after 3 years of this administration's war in Iraq? This administration's game plan apparently is still to go ahead with elections early next year then keep 100k soldiers there for the next several decades. Wow. Some plan. Oh. And don't mention the upcoming "draft" that is going to be necessary to replenish the loss of troops through death, maiming and non-retention. The current "plan" is not defending our country. It is the occupation of a foreign country that was not a threat to us. Getting other countries involved, of course, is the key to winning the war in Iraq. We cannot keep going indefinitely with the "coalition of the willing". Who knows, maybe the "new" Iraqi government elected next year may ask the U.N. for peacekeepers. It would be the sane thing to do. Posted by: javabuddha at September 12, 2004 07:47 PMYes, here's John Kerry's unequivocal, crystal-clear, stand on Iraq. =) Kerry Voted For Authorization To Use Force In Iraq. (H.J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48-1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kerry Voted Yea.) In First Dem Debate, Kerry Strongly Supported President’s Action In Iraq. KERRY: “George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him.” (ABC News, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Columbia, SC, 5/4/03) Kerry Later Claimed He Voted “To Threaten” Use Of Force In Iraq. “I voted to threaten the use of force to make Saddam Hussein comply with the resolutions of the United Nations.” (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks At Announcement Of Presidential Candidacy, Mount Pleasant, SC, 9/2/03) Now, Kerry Says He Is Anti-War Candidate. CHRIS MATTHEWS: “Do you think you belong to that category of candidates who more or less are unhappy with this war, the way it’s been fought, along with General Clark, along with Howard Dean and not necessarily in companionship politically on the issue of the war with people like Lieberman, Edwards and Gephardt? Are you one of the anti-war candidates?” KERRY: “I am -- Yes, in the sense that I don’t believe the president took us to war as he should have, yes, absolutely.” (MSNBC’s “Hardball,” 1/6/04) Posted by: Chris at September 12, 2004 09:37 PMAt first I thought this interview, like the GQ interview was a satire. Can anyone be so vacuous and empty headed as Kerry? The man is comatose. He has not an original or even interesting idea in his skull. The man has a personality disorder. Posted by: Jim at September 13, 2004 12:36 AMAm I seeing this? Are Bush supporters referring to Kerry as "vacuous and empty-headed"? Hey chris, lol... No, I'm perfectly content letting you think I'm not a real man. =) heh heh heh Posted by: Chris at September 13, 2004 03:24 PM
