LillaKerry: A Day Late And A Dollar Short
November 2nd 2006 07:41
Senator Kerry has finally apologized to the troops and their families for his so called joke about President Bush.
For many troops and their families this is a day late and a dollar short. Kerry's apologies only came after an influx of criticism from Republican's. Since when did sticking your foot in your mouth become a political issue?
Had Kerry truly been sorry, then he should have apologized immediately without all of the political pressure beforehand.
His own website clearly stated on October 31, 2006 that he did not feel he owed anyone an apology as the statement was intended as a jab at President Bush. For a number of troops and their families this was not an acceptable response to a remark that left most feeling it had been implied they were uneducated and lazy.
The overall feeling today seems to be that Kerry had waited too long to issue an apology and using the fact that he is a Veteran holds little water with most.
Maybe once Kerry gets his feet out of his mouth and considers his words before he speaks them the troops and their families might be willing to listen to what he has to say.
But for now, too many troops and their famiy members feel in large part this is how most of the democratic party views them. Kerry simply said the words out loud.
