Bruce Braley Digs An Even Deeper Hole

From Radio Iowa:

Democratic congressional candidate Bruce Braley says it's time for a cease fire in the war of words that erupted over comments made by 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's comments.

Braley was to appear with Kerry in Davenport on Thursday. But Braley asked Kerry not to come because Kerry said if you don't "study hard and do your homework" you'll "get stuck in Iraq."

"I believe that Senator Kerry's brief statement was inappropriate and I believe that the Bush White House and Senate Kerry need to stop their partisan bickering," Braley says. "The partisan back-and-forth is getting us nowhere. American citizens are tired of that."

Partisan bickering?

John Kerry called the men and women of our volunteer armed forces a bunch of uneducated dummies. Really, that's what he did. John Kerry thinks everybody in Iraq didn't study hard or do their homework. He thinks they're a bunch of dropouts and losers who got stuck there.

I think there's no doubt that Bruce Braley would shit all over the men and women of our military, especially those in Iraq, if he were elected to the House of Representatives. Why? Here are the three issues that Bruce Braley has on his web site about Iraq:

Investigate Fraud and Abuse in Iraq. We need a Congress that will use its investigative powers to look at the no-bid contracts for Halliburton, how $9 billion in US government cash went missing in Iraq while our troops went without the body armor they need to do their jobs safely, and what role oil companies are playing in Iraq.

Turn the Fighting Over to the Iraqis. Bruce believes that it is time to turn over the fighting to the Iraqis—our troops have done their job. The President needs to develop an exit strategy that includes some sort of timetable for bringing our brave troops home.

Ensure Our Troops Have the Body Armor They Need. Bruce believes that while our troops are abroad and in harm’s way, every measure should to be taken to ensure their safety. We should fully fund programs that provide body armor and armored vehicles to our troops. This need has long-been overlooked in Washington.

Bruce Braley's biggest priority in Iraq is investigating Halliburton and oil companies.

That says it all, doesn't it?

Braley's second priority is something that the US military is already engaged in. And his third priority, body armor, was dealt with a couple of years ago.

If that's the kind of idiot you want to send to Congress to represent the 1st District in Iowa, go right ahead. You people living there might as well be voting for John Kerry for Congress, because that's what you'll be getting with Bruce Braley.
