Kerry's jabs at Bush grow more personal
Boston Globe ^ | April 29, 2004 | Patrick Healy

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Senator John F. Kerry, whose attacks on President Bush this week have becoming increasingly personal in tone, told voters yesterday that the Iraq occupation was faltering because of Bush's own ''pride" and that the president was afraid to ''look the people in the eye who have lost their job."

At a town hall meeting in Toledo, Kerry spoke dismissively of the president, saying Bush had been ''selected" to hold office by the Supreme Court and had broken with most US presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, who had worked with other nations and alliances on global concerns.

And Kerry nodded as one audience member, 74-year-old Dorothy Sahadi, accused Vice President Dick Cheney of engineering an ''invasion" of Iraq to benefit Halliburton, the energy giant he once headed, then said of Cheney and Iraqis: ''How many has he murdered? He has murdered women, children, babies for nothing, just for the money in his pocket." Kerry said he disagreed with some parts of Sahadi's remarks. ''But I know exactly where you're coming from," the Massachusetts senator said,

How low and slimey can Kerry get?!

Kerry is making personal insults based on lies against the President and gets indignant, when Republicans point out the truth about his record in a factual manner.

Title should read: "Kerry's Personal Attacks on Bush grow More Screechy and Banshee-like as He Fails to Gain Traction With His Opposing Positions on Every Issue Strategy"

But I guess it was too long.

"Kerry spokesman David Wade said afterwards that Kerry disagreed with Sahadi's ''murdered" comment."

Kerry knows that as a murderer himself, that would have been the pot calling the kettle black.

LOL You are right, that title would have been too long.

Expect Kerry to go into a Dean-like fit any time now.

Hey, when liberal media makes him squirm with mere 80 mph fastball questions, he lashes out bigtime ... at Bush.

"He has murdered women, children, babies for nothing, just for the money in his pocket."

Attention all moderates and independents: the above is an example of what Democrats really believe. Yes, all of it, with emphasis on the "murder" of "children" and babies" for "money."

At the heart of the Democratic party you will find wild-eyed conspiracy theorists, kool-aid drinking socialists, professional race pimps and assorted social malcontents. Does anyone really want to vote for these people?

I overheard an elderly lady say the EXACT same thing one month ago in a cafe. I bit my tongue in fear of causing melee. I wan't to know Kerry's election demographics. Does he have the old lady vote. If so, what relevance does his issues make for the 70 plus crowd? I'd say prescription drug benefit but that has a Bush giveaway. Kerry better not not get the "old lady" gap over Bush!

What else can he do? He has NO issues that support him for President. He is left only with personal attacks.

Poor Jacques F'n Kerry. < /sarcasm>

Oh for heaven's sake.... President Bush has looked into the eyes of the families, the soldies, the public,etc. He is an honest man who truly weighs the decisions he makes. Kerry is a dork. (my 9 year old great-nephew tells me dorks are whale penises...) hmmm....ok, Kerry is a dork.

ROTFL!

Now every time anyone mentions the word "dork", I'll think of your great-nephews definition. It's really hilarious!

I hear that John Kerry was a hero in the Vietnam War. Anyone know for which side?

Big questions:

1. If Kerry didn't throw his medals where are they?
2. Has he been asked to show them?
3. Is there a number on them that is assigned to only that particular medal? If not then one could just have a few made.

The more Dean-like Kerry becomes, the wider the margin in Bush's re-election.

Nodding one's head is an affirmation. I hope there's tape of this.
Kerry is such an incredible scumbag-he's starting to make Clinton and Gore look decent.
