Mayor Creighton and State Senator Coughlin Say John Kerry’s Doom and Gloom Economic Message Won’t Create Jobs in Ohio
(title edited for length)
CANTON, OH – Today, Canton Mayor Janet Creighton and state Sen. Kevin Coughlin released the following statement as of Sen. John Kerry’s travels through Canton, Ohio:
“The people of Stark County and the rest of Ohio are not interested in John Kerry talking down the Ohio economy. Preaching pessimism to voters will not create a single job in Ohio, yet John Kerry continues to relentlessly heap negativity onto an economy that is recovering and creating jobs.
“Ohioans want a president like George W. Bush who will lead our nation with optimism and confidence and will reject John Kerry’s defeatist attitude and agenda,” Creighton said.
Coughlin said, “John Kerry's disconnect with the people of Ohio has never been more pronounced. Ohioans want solutions, yet John Kerry offers blame. Ohioans look to the future with optimism, yet John Kerry drags us backwards with predictions of doom and gloom.
"Ohio embraces President Bush's positive message because he is committed to growing our economy and helping prosperity flourish. John Kerry's negative message is floundering because it merely seeks to talk down an economy in an effort to score political points."
Who's this Kerry fella? Oh, yeah--the presumptive dem presidential nominee. Haven't heard much from him lately, what with Clinton-mania, F911, Reagan's death, etc.
I watched Kerry briefly this week...He has dead eyes when he is giving a speech that match the delivery of the speech....and the content.
Ted Koppel had Kerry on Nightline tonight, on the campaign trail in Ohio.
Koppel: "Your vulnerability is you're not Mary Sunshine. People call you gloomy, pessimistic. They call you 'French' for Godssakes."
Kerry: "They spent $85 million trying to describe me to America. America is not looking for labels, they're looking for leadership."
Kerry with straight boring face, defensive tone: Well my daughters will tell you I can be fun. "I can be as frivolous and fancy free as the next guy!" (LOL)
Kerry is really tired. He's talking about having passion while looking like he wants to yawn. Looks like the botox is losing its grip, too.
Koppel made a big deal out of Kerry's plane saying "John Kerry", with "President" printed beneath. He asked Kerry if there was a word missing next to President (like "for" maybe?) Kerry stared at him awhile, then said they'd be taking care of it soon.
Kerry insisted he has "asked nobody" to be Vice President, then repeated himself carefully. Must depend on the meaning of either "asked" or "nobody". Koppel asked Kerry if it bothers him watching McKean hugging Bush.
Great report.!..frivolous and fancy free? LOL.
Thanks for the picture,Condor...
I was hoping someone would post a picture like that.
LOL
