Petition for John F. Kerry's Resignation

Petition for John F. Kerry's Resignation

http://www.petitiononline.com/zr5g2952/petition.html
The link below will open a window to a petition I wrote around May 12 calling on John F. Kerry to resign from the senate, and from his run for the presidency. I wrote the petition after seeing Kerry's petition blasting Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and calling for his removal form his possition. Your signature would be appreciated.

Anthony R, there are good courses on logic these days


It's a clearcut case of selective outrage, Kerrys Atrocities are acceptable but the Abu Ghraib incident is deplorable.

Umm, the only time in your "case" where Kerry could be taking any responsibility is when he uses the group "we". This was of course meant to mean the whole of the American people. Believe it or not, the United States authorized free fire zones where anything that moved was shot or bombed. That violates the Geneva Convention by the way. And any American who didn't know about those zones wasn't paying attention.

Cheers

If the U.S. authorized the torture of Iraqi POWs, does that mean that those who were responsible for it should not face any consequences for their actions, since John Kerry supposedly doesn't have to face any for following the illegal orders of the U.S.?

It does become a matter of this petition even making any difference in the life of a politician. Great idea and I widh it all the luck there is, but, how many petitions have you signed in your life that fell on deaf ears and blind eyes. I wouldn't have a problem signing it and I just may, but again, will it change the outcome of what is going to happen in November.

I am going to do a very shameless (head down in shame) plug. Check out my article titled, "I Nominate". Good for a laugh if nothing else..

There needs to be a web site dedicated to all the online petitions that have failed, so people can see exactly how futile they are. I've only signed one or two of those things, and then only to petition a company to release a certain DVD.

The petition is not designed to get Kerry to resign. It's deigned to be one of many voices expressing why Kerry does not deserve to be President of the U.S. If this petition results in one person voting for George Bush, who might have stayed home instead, it will be a success. Americans do not know John Kerry. The more they know the more they will dislike him.

Conservatives are more likely than liberals to sit an election out. We need to convince the right people how important it is to get involved. This is just a small way to do that. I hope there will be lots more. And if such efforts were as useless as the liberals claim, why do they bother trying to run them down?

I agree that nobody knows John Kerry, and this is one of the great tragedies of our time. There are two people responsible for this, not just one. The first, of course, is John Kerry. The second is the month of May, which is guilty of the high crime of not being August or September. I am thinking of creating a petition against the forces of time for not letting now be in the future, and not letting the future, when Americans will know John Kerry, be now. Whatever the case, the false rumor of the liberal media that Kerry has the right to a full summer of campaigning is ruining the moral fabric of our country. I propose lynching an environmentalist.

Is not true....Both of these groups tend to be politically active, liberals through the ideal of socialism and conservatives through the ideal of capitalism. The difference is that conservatives tend to personally benefit from their idealism. So the 'liberals' need to work hard at motivating those people who do benefit from 'liberal' idealism, the working classes. It is not the conservatives but the working classes who are most likely to sit out an election. If you look at any country where there is compulsory voting it is always the conservatives who, for this reason, wish to bring in voluntary voting (i.e. to keep the working classes away from voting) and the liberals who wish to keep compulsory voting so as to force the working classes to vote.
