Damn Straight We Need Regime Change


"Republicans assail Kerry for 'regime change' remark"

I'm actually going to quote large chunks here.

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry came under fire from top congressional Republicans for saying the United States, like Iraq, needs a regime change. Kerry would not back down.

Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, got huffy --

"Free and open discourse is one thing, but petty, partisan insults launched solely for personal political gain are highly inappropriate at a time when American men and women are in harm's way," Frist said in a statement Thursday.

I can't believe he actually said that with a straight face. I mean, I'm assuming he did, otherwise the article would have said, suppressing laughter at the blatent hyprocrisy of his statement, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said..... But it doesn't say that, so straight-faced he must have been.

"In a speech Wednesday in Peterborough, N.H., Kerry said President Bush so alienated allies prior to the U.S.-led war against Iraq that only a new president can rebuild damaged relationships with other countries. "

I believe this firmly. I believe that only if we elect a new president who has the strength of will to apologize, yes, apologize to the international community for the insults and misuse of power by this Bush Administration, do we, America, have a snowball's chance in hell of regaining our standing with that community. Our name, reputation, and honor has been besmirched by an administration that ignores international treaties and the importance of international relations as a whole.

Kerry said it right, "patriotism is not mutually exclusive with questioning the war".

Leading congressional Democrats generally have avoided criticism of Bush since U.S.-led forces began attacking Iraq.

Attention, "leading congressional Democrats"! It is time to stop avoiding criticism! It is time to question the regime actively ripping up our social contract! It is time to be a patriot! It is time to stand up for the Constitution!
