Just when I thought I might dislike Kerry less...

He "took on" a war protestor (i.e. cowardly commie sympathizer) at a rally who said:

"You say you are a stark difference from George Bush," said the 64-year-old Daum. "People hate George Bush, but by the end of your presidency, they'll hate you for the same thing."

Note to Mr. Daum: you may hate Bush and that shows how blindly led by your masters on the left you are, but many, many Americans like President Bush quite a lot.

Kerry responded by saying:

"I have consistently been critical of how we got where we are," Kerry responded. "But we are where we are, sir, and it would be unwise beyond belief for the United States of America to leave a failed Iraq in its wake."

A fairly well reaoned response. Of course he then ruins it by saying:

"The course that I have proposed is to turn over to the United Nations the full responsibility for the transformation of the government and for the reconstruction," he said.

"Because I believe that as long as it is an American occupation, we will have great difficulty in staying any course and achieving the kind of stability we want to achieve."

The Kerry foreign policy: let the UN do it. What the heck they have been so effective so many times in the past! The conspiracy theorist in me thinks perhaps this guy was a plant to make Kerry seem like a reasonable voice amidst the frenetic Left.

Amen to Cap Weinberger, who blasted Kerry by saying:

Former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, speaking on behalf of the Bush campaign, said Kerry's argument was "just a lot of criticism and pessimism."

"He is saying that we should hand over power to the United Nations," Weinberger said. "The United Nations is totally incapable of doing any kind of job as pacifying or removing terrorism from a country like Iraq."

You can read the whole article on CNN by clicking here, including a horrific picture of Kerry reading to school kids with grand marm Hillary sitting behind him. I nearly vomited.
