One of the reason I like John McCain is that, love him or not, he's out there on all the issues, and he knows how to get things done in the media as well as in Congress. As far as I'm concerned he looks more and more presidential every day. On the other hand, a guy like Kerry came from nowhere as the Democratic nominee and should disappear back into nowhere, especially with gaffes like the one he delivered in Pasadena yesterday. Along with Angelides, believing that only the choir is listening, there are many embarrassments spewing these days.
Today I stand with McCain and reiterate:
“Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.”
Well said, Senator.
