Kerry says GOP lied about Foley, Iraq
By HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 14 minutes ago
Sen. John Kerry, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, likened the congressional page scandal to the war in Iraq on Friday, saying Republicans have lied about both.
"They tell us we're making progress in Iraq and that there is no civil war. That is a lie," Kerry, D-Mass., said in remarks prepared for delivery at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual fall fundraising dinner. "There is a civil war and it is costing American and Iraqi lives every single day, and we must change course in Iraq."
Republicans also are lying when they claim the page scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) is a Democratic plot to win the midterm elections, Kerry said.
"This issue is here because of a Republican cover-up," he said. "And those from the party that preaches moral values that covered this up have no right to preach moral values anymore."
Foley, R-Fla., resigned Sept. 29 after being confronted with sexually explicit computer messages he sent to a teenage male page. For several days afterward, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., blamed Democrats for the scandal but later changed course and took responsibility for the matter.
On Thursday, the House ethics committee questioned a former Foley aide who has said he took complaints about Foley's conduct to Hastert's chief of staff three years ago. Hastert's chief of staff has denied that exchange took place.
Kerry, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2004, has packed his schedule with appearances for Democratic candidates for Congress and state offices.
New Hampshire Republican Reps. Charles Bass and Jeb Bradley "have failed to ask the tough questions, failed to demand the answers and rubber-stamped a willful president's wrongful course," Kerry said.

Uh huh...yeah I see the logic...NOT.
Well Demonrats don't cover up their sex scandals. The revel in them, they applaude and elect men who have illicit sex even if it is with a minor they got drunk. Gerry Studds was allowed to stay in the Democratic Party and was allowed to turn his back on the people that tapped him on the wrist.
Good point, keep making it,
I can't believe some real Viet Nam Vet hasn't taken this creep out and kicked his ass bloody YET.
Ya know he deserves it. May be then he can put himself in for another medal.
What a friggin liar.
and yet his idol and mentor is the murderer Ted Kennedy who stinking drunk drove a chick off a bridge, left her there to drown while he went back and sobered up and then tried to get his friend to say he was the driver
{Deep Kerry annoying voice} “They lied to the American people. They lied about Foley and they lied about Iraq”.
Yep, if people like Kerry is the best the liberals have, its going to be a long time before they are back in power.
Hey John, Johnny, John Boy, Kerry the Dem Water Bucket for as long as you want but don't forget that you told Tim Russert on National TV that you would release your Form 180.
You are a "Creepy liar" as one of your bagmen said to an honorable Swift boat Veteran on National TV.
