It's about time someone just came out and said it. John Kerry is an American hero, not only on the battlefield, but also in his public service to our country.

CROOKED republicans in Ohio stole the presidency from him.

I'd love a time machine to know where we'd be right now, after 911, in a Kerry administration.

Yes he creates controversy with his public gaffs. For the party to snub him is inexcuseable, but sadly politically correct.

Kerry wouldn't contest Ohio. He hid after the George Bush is an idiot gaff, and now he accepts his fate in politics. Now I know why my dog loves me so much. Loyalty.

Kerry lost in 2004 because he's unelectable for a frontline position like president. He says offensive things, he does offensive things, and although he may be a very nice person for all we know, he always seems to be in the wrong place doing the wrong thing, on film. Remember the book, "The Peter Principle"? Kerry has risen to the level of his own incompetence and he is as high in politics as he will ever go.

John Kerry calls Bush an IDIOT.

He claims he was lied to by Bush, and voted to send American troops into Iraq.

That speaks volumes about John Kerry, that he can be bamboozled by an idiot on an issue as critical as going to war.

Someone like that should never be in a position power

Americans still support John Kerry and we know how politics sometimes can twist things around.
John Kerry would never do anything to hurt our troops, unlike the president, Kerry has a clear plan for Iraq and I would vote for him today.
KERRY 2008

The only thing good that came out of this election is we won't have to worry about John Kerry running every again for President. Good riddance!

How childish of Sen. Schumer. That is the kind of idiotic self-importance that I was hoping the Democrats would NOT bring to the new Congress.

Too bad they start out this way. It doesn't bode well for a good and effective Dem leadership. It bodes well for pettiness.

If this is true Schumer has absolutely no class. John Kerry is not only a war hero, but the man the majority of Democrats chose as their leader. No one other than the people in NY chose Shumer.

John Kerry also did more to keep people involved after the defeat in 2004 than anyone else. I know several people other than myself who became more involved than we ever were before due to John Kerry's plea to stay involved.

The main issues in this election were corruption and Iraq. On Iraq, it is Kerry, not Schumer, who was a leading voice. Many Republicans, Democrats and pundits are now saying, as John Kerry said in April, that a deadline is needed to make the Iraqis stop feuding and get their country together.

Whether given credit or not, it was Senator Kerry who led on this at a point where the esteemed leadership preferred staying silent. Senator Kerry was fight when he said that it would be wrong to stay silent when soldiers were dying for a failed policy. That is true morality - not calculating the electoral cost. There would have been no Democratic amendment if not for Senator Kerry. Would the gains have been as high if the contrast between the parties on Iraq were less defined?

Also, today General Pace essentially acknowledged that the means of dealing with terrorism that Senator Kerry defined in 2004 is correct and their current plan. Need I mention he was right on Afghanistan.

So, Shumer can fume about a smear of a distorted joke - but he has contributed far less statesmanship to this country than Kerry did by age 27. He will never compete as a hero, person or politician.

Wow, steeltom, I've never seen anything quite that stupid in print before.

Thanks for making my day. It's nice to know that the liberal base really thinks that way. They should have no trouble discrediting themselves in the next year or two.

Kerry is far from a hero, having been dishonorably discharged from the military after collecting Purple Hearts for paper cuts in 'Nam and conducting himself in a treasonous manner thereafter.

He would have been a disaster as President and proves that daily as an absentee Senator.

Snubbing Kerry might be the first thing the dimocrats have gotten right in a century.

steeltom, I wish you had that time machine. Maybe you would take a few of your friends with you.

Kerry is an embarrasement to the uniform he once wore. To call him a military hero after he threw his medels over the fence is a farce. The fact that he met with North Vietnamese officals during wartime makes him a traitor. Him coming to the podium to accept his partys nomination and soluting was an insult to the armed forces. He ran from the military after he returned home, now embraces it when it it suits him. Hero? Hardly. Fool at best.

What on Earth Did Schumer Say to Kerry??? He said "get the heck away from us, you're an idiot." I for one am quite pleased to see that even the Dems can see through Kerry's junk. I cannot wait to see him gone forever.

Senator Kerry moved aside for a picture of the Seanate leadership. He isn't part of this elected group so I fail to see what the deal is here other than trying to creat and spread a rummor that is false. Grow up and get a life. Sometimes we're asked to be in a picture sometimes were not.

Some say that our president is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. However, based on the results of the military intelligence tests taken by Bush and Kerry, it appears that Bush's IQ is a whopping 10 points higher than the Heinz groom.

Can anyone still bemoan Kerry's loss after his performance in this last election?

Turns out that our brilliant nuancer is not such a genius after all.

Kerry
was never a true leader in the Democratic Party and the public diss is the just desserts for how out of touch he is with thie beloved country.

Wow! Has ABC suddenly become the National Enquirer reporting on things that may or may not have been said in the halls (literally) of congress?

I guess I shouldn't be shocked. Real journalism has been dead in America for quite some time now. What we are left with are gossip columnist wanna-be's who are either too lazy or too stupid to actually report the news.

Shame on you ABC allowing this kind of "reporting" to be associated with your name.

A lot about nothing. Probably Schumer was in a hurry because he was going to a leadership press conference or whatever.

Is this the gossip gazette or a serious magazine? As you say, you do not know, so why publish.
