What America thinks "Letters from Democrats about Pelosi/KERRY." congress.org As a fellow Democrat, I am deeply concerned by the comments made by Nancy Pelosi today (04/10/03). She does not regret her anti-war vote, and "we could have brought down that statue for a lot less money". What could she possibly be thinking? First we still have troops fighting in theater, second, how much did she expect to spend? These types of extremist views are just what our party does not need to regain our prominence in national politics. I admit I am a "right of center" Democrat, however, I honestly believe that we should have a moderate Democratic Party leader. Nancy Pelosi is doing more harm to the Democratic party than good, and she should step down. Southampton , NY I am an independent voter from texas, and the remarks I am hearing from Mrs. Pelosi and John Kerry, have caused great concern over the forwardness of the democratic party. I have been and my community have been praying for our troops and the president on such a extremely importance topic of the war. I was in favor of the war, but i respect people who differ. In the statements that have come out recently my mind is starting to think maybe I should think really hard where my vote and my families votes go in 2004. How cruel to say such a statement when wives, mother, and fathers are waiting to see if there loved ones will come home. Dachle, Pelosi, and Kerry will never carry my feeling about the men and women who stand a post, while I can sleep at night. Some of these elected leaders have service men and women from there state. I am just an average Texas housewife, but I do have a voice and with this rhetoric sounding my vote will easily go for a person who has values and morals and can keep there mouths shut on such a moment in history where our fellow neighbors have paid the ultimate price to give men and women in another country the same freedom I have had for 40 yrs. Thank you Mr. Bishop for letting me write you this letter. May United States always remain a place where we can argee or diagree but reserve our comments until the last man from here comes home.
Mckinney , tx congress.org. As an American Democrat, I am offended by the thoughtless and irresponsible reference to the removal of the butcher of Baghdad to the removal of President George W. Bush given by John Kerry April 3, 2003.
I understand Kerrys' desire for change but disagree with his self-serving tactics presented during this time of international tension and war. Kerry insists he is a patriot based on his experience in Vietnam. If he learned anything in Vietnam ...why doesn't he use it today? With servicemen giving their lives in Iraq, Kerry speels his mouth off without regard to their lives, morale and families. He does not honor the Office of The President now nor will he later. He has revealed his lack of integrity and arrogance to the nation. How can he command respect when he honors nothing but political ambition in this time of international crisis? Kerry cannot be considered a serious candidate. The underlying "violent" overtones of his speech may feed some justification by a distraught individual for an assasination attempt or deed of violence etc.as Kerry suggests. Kerry needs to be indicted for major stupidity and for the demise of political decency in his behavior. Kerry plainly seen isn't trustworthy and should be censured by Congress for his lack of integrity. America deserves an apology and frankly so does George W. Bush for these outlandish and horrible words spoken by John Kerry. My hope for today is: May there be a regime change in the heart of this phoney patriot. May angry Americans write and rebuke this disrespectful Senator. May God Protect Our Real Heroes, Our Troops In Iraq. David L Hill South Pasadena CA
