"What it is is an effort to distract, not to talk about the problems here in Flint, Michigan,"

WTF have you or Kerry done for Flint while in the Senate? Oh yeah, you both backed OUTSOURCING.

[faithincowboys]

That "Kerry was a war hero" argument is so anorexic now that it isn't even funny.

[Numbers Guy]

WTF have you or Kerry done for Flint while in the Senate?

They didn't provide any money for AutoWorld, that should count in their favor.

[ShandaLear]

Spilled his blood? Good grief.

[Christian4Bush]

You know, considering what happened the LAST time Edwards opened his mouth...("ask the guys who served with him...")

...he might want to consider the old saying: "When you're in deep water, it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut."

John Edwards defended his running mate on Friday, saying he "spilled his blood for the United States" and accusing the Republican of distorting Kerry's words

Right Breck Girl....he got a boo-boo and put a Flintsone band-aid on it.

"WTF have you or Kerry done for Flint while in the Senate?"

They have Michael Moore on their side. He defeated the Goliath auto makers in Flint and brought lasting prosperity to the newly freed serfs in the movie 'Roger and me.'

Don't you know?

Kerry served in Viet Nam too.

[agrarianlady]

I'm sure I spilled more blood during childbirth than Kerry ever has.

[traumer]

Let the LAWYER explain what I meant....

[tet68]

Edwards said during a campaign stop in Flint. "He's talking about a man who still carries shrapnel in his body.

First I've heard this one.

[alloysteel]

Kerry may have "spilled his blood for the United States", but not very much. By his agitation for the anti-war movement after returning from Viet Nam, he is probably responsible for spilling the blood of a LOT more GIs, in casualties incurred because the war was prolonged and eventually abandoned. And not to mention the discussion of assassination attempts on members of Congress while a member of VVAW.

[narby]

Edwards: He's talking about a man [Kerry] who still carries shrapnel in his body.

Attn: Bush Team Lurkers! This appears as BS to me.

Show me the x-rays!

[Spok]

"Spilled his blood? Good grief."

He's a man among girlie-men.

[atomicpossum]

Think Cheney's got a nuclear response to this 'I'm good on defense because I was in Nam' horsecrap? You betcha....wait for Jean Jr. to get blown apart by it in the debates..... :-)

[Spok]

Actually, I have heard Kerry is full of shrapnel...or something like that.

[NRA2BFree]

"He's talking about a man who still carries shrapnel in his body. He's talking about a man who spilled his blood for the United States of America."

Please tell me where Kerry's carrying shrapnel in his body, and why wasn't it removed? When did he "spill his blood for the United States?" I didn't think a scratch "spilled blood." Edwards acts like he's talking to a jury. He's laying it on thick.

What exactly did Edwards do for the United States, besides driving medical malpractice insurance rates through the roof, causing medical fees to rise?

[OldFriend]

LOLOL......the Breck girl rides to the rescue of the big time war hero!!!! LOLOL

[Use It Or Lose It]

Chris Matthews on "Hardball" just said that Cheney was most responsible for putting US troops in Saudi Arabia, and...who were the terrorists that attacked on 9/11? Saudis....and....therefore Cheney is responsible for 9/11. How's that for twisting the truth? Matthews, the reporterette and the trail dude all agreed, though, that the "sensitive" issue has bitten Kerry hard. Of course, then Matthews accused Cheney of San Fran baiting, i.e., Cheney is attempting to make Kerry look gay. Nice, huh?

"...he might want to consider the old saying: "When you're in deep water, it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut.""

Or, "when you see a sinking ship, don't try to get on board".

[My2Cents]

I wouldn't consider one drop an actual "spilling" of blood.
