CHICAGO (AP) -- Touring a struggling job-training site, Democrat John Kerry on Friday sought to refocus the presidential race on pocketbook issues, warning of "almost criminal" cuts in bedrock training and education programs.

"I'm tired of talking about valuing families and not valuing families," Kerry said. "There are unbelievable, unacceptable, staggering numbers of young lives that are being abandoned in our country."

Kerry held a town hall meeting at a job-training site where officials said their budget and the number of students they can train have been slashed because of cuts.

"This is pretty simple. The workplace of the United States of America is as stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed at any time," Kerry said. "That's almost criminal. It's not criminal, but I want to underscore how unbelievable it is."

Kerry accused Bush of slashing $1 billion from job-training programs. "You shouldn't be abandoned and struggling the way you are today," he said.

Kerry is pathetic.

You gotta say this for the Dems: No one can ever accuse them of understatement.

Flip-flop needs to make up his mind...either is Bush wrong for spending too much or wrong for making cuts, which is it? Kerry needs to listen to HIMSELF once in awhile.

[PokeyJoe]

was gonna say what you said, but you're quicker - so I'll just say "ditto"

[RightWhale]

"There are unbelievable, unacceptable, staggering numbers of young lives that are being abandoned in our country."

Something's unbelievable. Hmm, what could it be? Could it be . . . Kerry?

[My2Cents]

"I'm tired of talking about valuing families and not valuing families," Kerry said.

This coming for a man who annulled his first marriage.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" "That's almost criminal. It's not criminal,.."

This moron should just lip sync to prerecorded statements.
Add this to the stack of flip flops.

So, on the one hand the Democrats accuse Bush of spending too much. Then a few days later, they accuse him of cutting spending too much.

All the while Bush is primarily agreeing to the Democrat's demanded wasteful spending, just at a smaller rate of increase.

?????!!!!!!

What spending cuts???!!!

[MrB]

Hey, Kerry!

Point out that article of the Constitution that authorizes Congress to spend money on these programs. And "general welfare" is not an enumerated power.

I won't hold my breath.

[ShandaLear]

Since when does Kerry know anything about "the workplace?" He hasn't held a legitimate job in his entire life.

[Paul Atreides]

"I'm tired of talking about valuing families and not valuing families," Kerry said.

"That's almost criminal. It's not criminal, but I want to underscore how unbelievable it is."

What a babbling t*rd!

Kerry warns that Bush spending cuts are 'almost criminal'

And just yesterday Ol' Horseface was saying that as President he would cut spending.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Kerry tomorrow: "I'm tired of talking about valuing religion and not valuing religion. I'm tired of talking about valuing choice and not valuing choice. I'm tired of talking about valuing war and not valuing war. I'm tired of talking about valuing this and not valuing that."

Just end it with: "I'm tired of talking", because we're tired of listening to your crap.

[astounded]

"This is pretty simple. The workplace of the United States of America is as stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed at any time," Kerry said.

Kerry said that exactly right - "as I don't think I've seen it...". He has never seen the "workplace of the United States" because he has never been a part of it. He has been a leech on society - a politician - except for his "heroic" 4-months service in SEA, for what that was worth. What an arrogant, pompous jerk he is.

"almost criminal"

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy during time of war (i.e. TREASON) is beyond criminal. John Kerry - former member of the communist front group "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" - you stand accused.

[savedbygrace]

"The workplace of the United States of America is as stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed at any time," Kerry said.

That sentence ought to be taken out and shot. What the heck does, "is as stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed," mean? How would that sentence be diagrammed?

Sounds like a Kennedy sentence. Idiots.

[Badeye]

Kerry's mouth will be his undoing. He's so empty of any "core values" its stunning.

I stopped really worrying about his possibly winning the election a couple of weeks ago, when it became obvious there isn't a single John Kerry supporter that can cite anything he's done as a reason to vote for him.

"Anybody but Bush" isn't going to rally anyone to Kerry beyond those dumb enough to vote a straight line Democratic Party ticket every two or four years.

I just heard on the news that this years college grads were going to be in the best shape for being hired in years.
