This is Too Damn Funny

Remember when John Kerry ran for president? Yeah, I know, but it seems like a hundred years ago.

Anyways, Kerry is now saying that John McCain doesn't have the judgement to be president. Kerry of all people is saying this.

Here's the article followed by my own interprtations.

"John McCain ... has proven that he has been wrong about every judgment he's made about the war.
The only person wrong about the war has been Kerry and his democratic party (as always) Why Kerry and his ilk continue to make stuff up just astounds me. McCain was about the only senator to support the surge, which is almost a complete and utter success, and only one of a handful of senators to rightfully support Gen. Patreaus.
Wrong about the Iraqis paying for the reconstruction...wrong about whether or not the oil would pay for it."
Uh, no. The Iraqi oil revenue is exactly what is paying for Iraqi troop and army reconstruction, not to mention their training, which has surpassed expectations..finally.
Wrong about Sunni and Shia violence through the years, wrong about the willingness of the Iraqis to stand up for themselves."
Nope. Try again. I don't know where these guys get there information (read: lies) from. The fact is Sunnis and Shias are and have been at each others throats for centuries. But with the help of men like Patreaus, both groups have come together for the benefit of their own nation's future. Take a look at this. Do you think people like Harry "The war is lost" Reid or Nancy "This is not a war to win, but a problem to solve" Pelosi would have garnered such success? Not by ending the war in defeat, they wouldn't have.
As for Iraqis not standing up for themselves, what about reports (from Michael Yon, so you know it's at least accurate) about Iraqi citizens coming out of their homes and shooting insurgents point blank? Or of these same citizens feeding U.S. and coaltion troops from their own barbeque grills, not to mention all the weapons caches and insurgent hideouts and movements they inform the Americans about?
I mean, can this guy be any more uninformed?

"If you like the Bush tax cut and what it's done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, then John McCain is going to give you a third term of George Bush and Karl Rove."
Forget the fact that Kerry is obviously regurgitating Barry Obama talking points, the simple fact is, when you stimulate the economy with tax cuts, more people make money. Yes, the rich get richer, but so do the less rich. And the reason the middle-class is shrinking is because more people are graduating the upper-class. Simple economics, people.


And by the way, if a McCain presidency is a third term for Bush, wouldn't an Obama presidency be a second term for Carter?
