Kerry is getting blasted by Republicans, mostly out of context, for referring to terrorism as a nuisance.<\/p>\n

Now, I really don’t think Kerry is referring to terrorism as a “nuisance” right now. I think it’s clear that what he’s saying that he’d like to supress terrorism completely, but is conceeding that it will probably never totally disappear.<\/p>\n
My main issue is that he’s comparing this stuff to gambling and prostitution. So, we have no<\/b> social liberals running for office? As a social liberal myself, I want to see gambling and prostitution made f’n legal<\/b>. Apparently the supposed liberal candidate thinks they’re a nuisance – on the order of terrorism going forward, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
