Sen. John Kerry lashed out at Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday, accusing Cheney of distorting his Senate record on taxes as the Democrat sought to shift the debate to President Bush's stewardship of the economy.

"This administration has one economic policy for America -- 3 million jobs lost and driving gas prices towards $3 a gallon," the presumptive Democratic nominee told students at the Charles A. Jones Skills and Business Education Center in Sacramento.

Kerry said today he'd give 98% of Americans a tax break. And yet, President Bush gave 100% of Americans who pay taxes a tax cut and Kerry wants to REPEAL THEM!!

[merry10]

Can anyone explain why President Bush is pushing up the price of gas? Funny, I thought it was Econ 101 - the law of supply and demand.

[Joee]

I'll take it lightly when Kerry trails Bush, in the polls, by 15 points. Until then, I'll continue my contributions ($) and prayers to and for Bush.

"They found Dick Cheney in an undisclosed location and brought him out to attack me," Kerry said at the start of a town hall meeting at the Charles A. Jones Skills & Business Education Center. "That seems to be his designated role, not to create jobs, but to attack John Kerry.

Cool. The effete and majorly thin-skinned junion senator from MA took Cheney's bait. While the two of them destroy each other the president can strike a more presidential sort of pose.

[plain talk]

$3 a gallon is what Kerry wants with the difference in the way of taxes going to him and his cronies.

I saw that show last night.

Kerry rebuked O'Neil when O'Neil said there were would be wide spread killing if the United States pulled out of Vietnam. Kerry said, "there is no evidence that this would happen."

Kerry was wrong again! (Surprise, surprise!)

He was arrogant back then!

[Dilbert56]

Gee, John. Did they attack you in Vietnam?

[gov_bean_ counter]

"That seems to be his designated role, not to create jobs, but to attack John Kerry.

This statement makes no sense at all. Keep talking John.

[csmusaret]

Boy I agree with that. Presidents get WAY too much credit for good economies and good employment figures, and WAY to much blame when those figures go south. When did the Oval Office become the local employment office?

[Paul Atreides]

O'Neil let Kerry give his spill, uninterrupted (at least, the parts I saw). When O'Neil began speaking, Kerry couldn't let him finish once sentence, with his non-stop Kennedy wannabe accent.

[csmusaret]

Castro, Kim, etc. I still want to know if Kerry signed that Dear Commandante letter. I know Gephart did and I think Kerry did, but I'm not sure.

[mwl1]

I know they'd never do it, but Kerry was so obnoxious in those interviews, so weird looking, so anti-American, I truly believe that some group ought to take snipets and make them a Bush commercial in select conservative, swing markets.

[Northern Yankee]

Once a creep, always a creep!

Did you catch his words this morning about not having Vatican officials tell him what to do?

Breathless.

"I don't tell Vatican Officials what to do, and they shouldn't be telling American Politicians what they can do in public life."

What absolute arrogance.

Some of those foreign leaders must have been the Arabs who choose to hold oil off the market months ago to effect the election as the terrorists did in Spain.

Can we withhold food back or something to make a return well made point?

[savedbygrace]

Bush-Cheney is winning. They're got "The Dim Who Would Be President" reacting to the Vice President, rather than the President. They're getting to him, bigtime.

Why is this commie child of uncertain parenting even campaigning here in Commifornia? This pit is a shew-in.

[small voice in the wilderness]

seems like kerry has been in need of a real ass whupin' all his adult life. He believes he's impervious to a true humiliating defeat of epic proportions. He's wrong. His day of shame and deep doo-doo is coming. Second Tuesday in November.

Kerry appearance on Dick Cavett's show

Did you hear John O'Neil call in (the guy he debated)? He just gave his wife a kidney. John Kerry left his wife for a richer one.
