Well, this little Kerry flap certainly has gotten an undeserved amount of coverage both in MSM and around these parts now, hasn't it? However, the biggest issue here is being missed: There will be no October surprise! Follow me below....
So, what exactly do these two stories have to do with each other? Everything! Just listen to Republican rhetoric on this
fabricated non-story:
GOP Sen. John McCain, like Kerry a decorated Vietnam veteran and a potential 2008 rival, said while campaigning for Republican candidates in Indiana that "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 today."
Added House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., struggling to keep his party in control of Congress: "Our soldiers risk their lives in the face of grave dangers on the battlefield, and no one who chooses to courageously and selflessly defend our country can be considered 'uneducated.' "
This story is not something we should be upset about, we should be jumping up and down and celebrating folks, because this is it....this is all they've got.
"Our troops did not enlist because they did not study hard in school or do their homework," Bush said in his prepared remarks for a former GOP congressman, Mac Collins, who is trying to oust Democratic Rep. Jim Marshall. "The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots."
This is an act of pure desperation. Do you really think they would be putting this much effort into this story if we were going to be, oh I don't know, ATTACKING IRAN IN TWO DAYS? Think about it folks, it just ain't gonna happen. Osama will remain free, there will be no surprise war, there will be nothing. This is all they have! Today is a happy, happy day indeed. So long as you are not a Republican.
