8. Kerry's proposal is actually quite moderate, yet...
he is portrayed by the GOP, and by Joe Lieberman, as a "cut and run" guy. The war hero is accused of being a coward by those that avoided military service like the plague.

11. That's a great point by quickess about "cut and run"t
I also found this, along the same lines:

Cut and Run -

If a captain of a smaller ship encountered a larger enemy vessel, he might decide that discretion is the better part of valor, and so he would order the crew to cut the lashings on all the sails and run away before the wind. Other sources indicate "Cut and Run" meant to cut the anchor cable and sail off in a hurry.

9. Sadly, many americans are now watching reality TV, instead of
watching this debate of troops in Iraq.

12. Sen. Warner and Sen. Levin are bogus of two that always want to
keep senatorial proceeder intact instead of reality that American people want to discuss. SCAMERS!

13. Interesting exchange between Warner and Kerry
Warner is wrong as usual, but he is being civil in his stupidity.

34. Frankly most people with the ability
to become Senator could get far more in private enterprise. Even as a young man, Kerry gave up making a large amount of money to become a LT Governor then as Senator. The same persuasive skills he has (and had then) made him a very good lawyer. (Or without making assumptions - look at Edwards who did make a fortune and then became a $178,000 Senator.)

37. As many reasons as people
In many cases, they want to give back or they want the status and power.

I realize the answer you want is that the amount they actually can get is higher - legal or illegal.

38. you said it, indeed "they want the status and power"
and as member of such institution you would want to respect such institution, and continue on the same principle founded that infatuation. After all, you and your backers have invested in such institution.

17. Kerry saying there is no more back and forth debate in senate must've hit
home with Warner.

Hell, Kerry covered so much ground my head is spinning, so I wouldn't doubt that Warner was somewhat effected.

early senility.

14. Warner tries to come off as this wise, learned old statesman...
but he's really dumb as a post and bought and paid for by the republicans' corporate masters.

and he is the homophobe that paired up with that insufferable Sam Nunn to push for discrimantion against gays in the military.

20. He's not impressing me with his knowledge, but he is more polite
than many. There's validity to experience and being an elder statesman (I do cringe at that word w/some of these people).

28. Warner mentioned August, but I wasn't listening to the context. If
that's his reasoning, that's appalling.

Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 08:53 PM by IndianaGreen
because he has sounded like he didn't hear what Kerry was saying.

"Civil war" is what Kerry is saying, and that's what we already have there.

Kerry: "We have a civil war today!"

he'd have faded into obscurity.
