Kelly's trying to make John Hall guilty by party affiliation for John Kerry's ambiguously misstated joke.
Aiming to turn the Kerry gaffe into political ammunition, Rep. Sue Kelly, R-Katonah, said her Democratic opponent, John Hall, needed to condemn the remarks. "It displays volumes about Hall's real attitude toward our military and those who are serving our country that he has yet to utter a single line critical of Senator Kerry's words," she said yesterday.
If any fellow canvasers or phone bankers encounter anyone who brings this up, or if this idea appears on Hall campaign management radar, consider this.
Sue Kelly should have to apologize to our soldiers for voting for this needless war. She should apologize to our soldiers for failing to ask the tough questions. She should apologize to our soldiers for rubberstamping everything the administration wants. She should apologize to our troops failing to understand the reality of Iraq and her share of responsibility for it. She should also demand that the president apologize for his misleadership; lying us into war and driving the operation into chaos.
John Kerry already apologized for his statement because he misread his speech.
When will Sue Kelly apologize for her lousy career in Congress and her unyielding support of this lousy president and his lousy policies which are endangering our troops and hurting our security?
