[SaintAnne]

3. has bushie boy ever been to a soldier's funeral?

I've never seen pics or heard anything about that. ummmmm... makes you wonder don't it? at least a little?

[leftchick]

4. NO...

not one. Just a few photo-ops with families of soldiers killed and with wounded soldiers.

5. If my child was killed in Iraq -

That *&$hole better not come within 10 miles of the funeral.

[SpiralHawk]

6. I think you are correct, Annie

Bush has not been to one soldier's funeral to date, as far as I recollect.

It's shameful.

[ReadTomPaine]

12. It would be a security risk, and Bush knows it.

Recall what happened some months ago when a man set a Marine van aflame when they told him his son had died in Iraq. They couldn't stop him, and he almost burned himself alive doing it.

Bush's security people would never allow him near that sort of risk for the purposes of simple respect, ethics or humanity.

Besides, he doesn't really care anyway.

7. This made me cry again...

I have been crying on and off for a month, and this made it start all over again.

Two great men who would have made great Presidents:cry:

[WebeBlue]

8. More photos of John Kerry, attending Arlington funeral

[Sannum]

9. I so want this man to be President.

:cry:

[rndmprsn]

10. so sad...the funeral and that kerry is not our president =[

[ignatius 2]

15. Amen to both things. Damn,damn,damn..crappy war that kills so

many innocents and a dim witted,souless president who smirks and jokes and acs as if he hasnt a care in the world..damn

[President Kerry]

29. yes. This country will never know what it is missing out on..n/t

[blm]

13. Now I'm crying. Our military NEEDS a real commander-in-chief. So do their

families. So does the nation. The world needs an American leader who is wise and strong, tempered and compassionate.

[New Earth]

27. man this one really makes me cry :(

is that the Marine's mother crying in Kerry's arms??

[Still_Loves_John]

33. Oh he would have made such a good president!

It's so upsetting...

[RBHam]

11. When will Kerry stand up and declare this an immoral and illegal war?

Senator Kerry?

[WebeBlue]

14. He just did.... n/t

[politicasista]

19. He should do that

He won't be accused of being unpatriotic when it's the truth. Nice pics. It's a shame Smirky won't even set foot near a soldier's funeral.

[blue neen]

16. What a caring, compassionate man he is.

Bush is too much of a coward to attend one of these funerals.

[bobbieinok]

17. 2 senators from MA go to funeral of soldier from MA...this true in

any other state?

like what about OK??????

[blue neen]

18. There was a soldier from my hometown buried last week.

Santorum and Specter were not there. Where is that sanctimonious Santorum when the people of PA need him??? Oh that's right, he's busy stealing their tax dollars to cyber-school his kids.

[Hans Delbrook]

28. He's Disgusting

Teresa had him so pegged (Forest Gump w/ attitude.) I've been outraged over the lack of outrage at his actions. What a hypocrite he turned out to be (as well as a stupid, rigid, homophobic, misogynist.)

Kerry on the other hand - what can I say? I've cried so much over the last month that I'm all cried out. But my heart aches that Kerry is not to be our President come January. I've lost all faith in this country. But I think I'll write to JK and tell him what his candidacy meant to me and how much I admire him.

[blue neen]

32. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has been all OVER Santorum lately.

They've dedicated 2 editorials in the past 2 weeks alone to his despicable actions (and lack of postive actions).

[PopSixSquish]

21. And Now I'm Crying Again

My prayers to the family and my admiration for these two great leaders.

[journalist3072]

22. Senator Kerry

You know, this speaks volumes about his character. God Bless Him.

This is compassion in action. Senator Kerry would have made a great commander in chief. He has been there, done that (serving his country in a foreign land) and so he knows what families of soldiers go through.

[jayctravis]

23. and Kennedy! (n/t)

[journalist3072]

24. You're Right.

I think everyone is focusing on Senator Kerry though, because he just looks so Presidential attending that soldier's funeral. He looks like a real Commander-in-Chief.

It makes me sad.

[graywarrior]

25. We don't even have to slam Bush about this

These photos speak volumes about John Kerry. Very powerful message of compassion and leadership.

[JohnKleeb]

34. certainly, good point

[DeepModem Mom]

30. kick

[Fender]

31. Good Guy

He would have made a great president.
