Oh. I needed a good laugh today. - Remember when John Kerry went to speak to the NAACP after President Bush refused their invite?
Remember what Kerry said?
"As a campaigner, I know something about scheduling conflicts, but you know what? When you are president of the United States, you can pretty much say where you want to be and when. When you are president, you need to talk to all the people."
Well, it looks like those words are going to be a pretty good snack for him.
Several Conservative organizations are now sending requests to Presidential hopeful Kerry asking him to come and speak to their members.
Two of the groups are the Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Concerned Women for America (CWA)
Another is the Family Research Council on which Talon News reports:
In a letter to the Kerry campaign, Perkins wrote: "On behalf of the millions of families represented by [the FRC], I would like to invite you to a roundtable discussion at FRC's Washington, DC 'home' to discuss a number of issues on which you have proclaimed similar positions to those we represent."
Perkins continued, "You have proclaimed that you are adamantly against same-sex marriage, as are we. You have proclaimed that you believe in stem cell research and FRC, alongside Senator Sam Brownback, has been a leading advocate for stem cell treatments that have shown great promise. In addition, you have stated that you believe life begins at conception -- a view shared by the millions of families we represent."
He pointed out that Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage Act, he opposed the partial-birth abortion ban, and he favors embryonic stem cell research -- positions which directly contradict his stated personal beliefs.
"It is our hope that a meeting with the Senator will help clear up the differences between his recent public comments and his voting record," said Perkins.
Don't you just love it?
