Another lame Democrat:VETERANS RALLY AGAINST CASEY, KERRY Philadelphia - Veterans rallied at a press conference tonight demanding that Casey denounce John Kerry's insulting comments about our troops in Iraq. Earlier this week, Kerry suggested American troops wouldn't be "stuck in Iraq" if they had done their "homework" and made "an effort to be smart" in school. The press conference was held steps away from the location where Casey intended to hold a fundraiser with Kerry before Kerry cancelled in the wake of his disparaging comments. Senator Santorum has called on Kerry to apologize for his remarks: "Senator Kerry owes an apology to every man and woman serving this country in Iraq, and to the families of the more than 2,800 American patriots who have given their lives in service to this nation. . . . We are indebted to the service and sacrifice of those who wear the uniform, and John Kerry's demeaning comments are despicable." Casey, on the other hand, ignored John Kerry's well-documented history of attacking our troops and defended Kerry, calling his remarks a botched "joke." Iraq war veteran Sgt. Michael Sarro (Ret.) was a featured guest at a Santorum press conference. Sarro served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four years, and in 2004 joined the Pennsylvania National Guard, volunteering for deployment to Iraq. Sarro was on a routine patrol just outside Tikrit when two anti-tank mines were remote-detonated under his Humvee. A firefight ensued and Sarro was shot with an AK-47 in the leg, resulting in the need for extensive surgery and rehabilitation. Sarro has been vocal about the need for resolve in this war, and has said, "Though the enemy may have taken my ability to walk for a period of time, I will not accept defeat." Unfortunately for Pennsylvania taxpayers, Casey fails to exhibit this same sort of resolve. Failing to show up for work while taxpayers' pension dollars are being invested in companies doing business with terrorist-sponsoring states is an insult to everyone serving this country in the effort to defeat terrorism. Marine Corps officer James H. Warner, who spent five years and five months in a prisoner of war camp in North Vietnam, attended the press conference, as did Richard and Nancy Schmidt, parents of Richard J. Schmidt Jr., currently serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
