Goldstein: Kerry should "man up" and quit government [View all] MannyGoldstein May 2014 OP

Did you vote for Kerry in 2004? hrmjustin May 2014 #1

Yes. MannyGoldstein May 2014 #3

Yeah but if he should quit because of the Iraq war why did you vote for him? hrmjustin May 2014 #4

Would you rather have a hand amputated, or a finger amputated? MannyGoldstein May 2014 #6

No I prefer to keep my limbs and digits. hrmjustin May 2014 #8

I *think* I did. nt MannyGoldstein May 2014 #13

Then why is his iraq war vote held against him now but not then? hrmjustin May 2014 #15

Hey How About Those Mets? n/t HangOnKids May 2014 #16

They suck as usual. hrmjustin May 2014 #18

Ahh too bad HangOnKids May 2014 #20

I was raised on the Mets. hrmjustin May 2014 #22

Oh don't be too sure they will go all the way HangOnKids May 2014 #24

Time will tell. hrmjustin May 2014 #26

I've held it against him since it happened. MannyGoldstein May 2014 #19

Then why was it ok for him to be president then but not ok for him to be SOS now? hrmjustin May 2014 #21

My choice was Kerry or Bush. MannyGoldstein May 2014 #27

My point is it seems odd you would say he can't be SOS because of his war vote but he could be hrmjustin May 2014 #29

That is an interesting point you make. zeemike May 2014 #44

If you think that Kerry is not up to the job then that is a legit point to make. hrmjustin May 2014 #46

And what choice did we have? zeemike May 2014 #50

I agree the choices were limited but we made it. hrmjustin May 2014 #52

Why shouldn't it be sulphurdunn May 2014 #41

You people? hrmjustin May 2014 #42

Yes. It is very odd Cali_Democrat May 2014 #43

I just don't get it. hrmjustin May 2014 #45

Think what you like. sulphurdunn May 2014 #49

And that is a legitimate thing to say. hrmjustin May 2014 #51

For the record, most Congressional Democrats voted against the Iraq War Resolution. nt MannyGoldstein May 2014 #54

To be clear are you saying Kerry's vote to go to war disqualifies him to be SOS? hrmjustin May 2014 #55

Clearly it doesn't, because he *is* SOS MannyGoldstein May 2014 #56

Quit because he is doing a bad job or his vote? hrmjustin May 2014 #57

Because of his demonstrated poor judgement when it counted the most, and MannyGoldstein May 2014 #58

We could argue this all night so I will say it is unfair to hold his vote against him as SoS hrmjustin May 2014 #62

Because he's doing a bad job. sulphurdunn May 2014 #59

Well I can not say I am impressed with Kerry myself. hrmjustin May 2014 #61

Same for HRC. n/t PowerToThePeople May 2014 #2

You should Manny up and laugh it off BeyondGeography May 2014 #5

LOL! n/t Aerows May 2014 #28

No question about that in my mind. bemildred May 2014 #36
