''Let me tell you something: When I was a kid, this 'kid from the East' had an aunt and uncle who had a dairy farm, and one of my greatest joys in life -- in fact, I lived on a farm as a young kid. My parents, when we lived in Massachusetts, we lived on a farm, and I learned my first cuss word sitting on a tractor with the guy who was driving it," Kerry said as he stood, wearing jeans and new Timberland hiking boots, in the tractor shed at the Dejno family farm in this community, which was founded on Independence Day in 1876.
''When I was 12 years old, my passion was being allowed to go out and sit on the John Deere and drive it around the field and plow, and I learned, as a kid, what it was like to look in back of me and see those furrows, and see that pattern, and feel a sense of accomplishment, and end up dusty and dirty and tired but feeling great, looking back at that field that you plowed."
Afterward, a spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, said Kerry was referring to two farm experiences, one when he and his parents lived on a farm in Millis, Mass., and later when he frequented a dairy farm straddling the Ipswich/Hamilton border that was owned by his aunt and uncle. The first farm was where Kerry rode a tractor with a hand who worked the family's property. At the dairy farm, he tilled the land himself.
At the time, Kerry's parents lived in Europe and he attended boarding school in Switzerland, but he returned to Massachusetts on vacations, Cutter said.

You need to keep enlightening people.
Some refuse to accept any new information, but others may be receptive.
Occasionally, I turn the TV over to CNN or the ABCNBCCBS ones, and all I would watch is those channels, I would have a much different imporession of reality. It is quite amazing, actually. Many people only hear that and don't know any better.
I bet he was hoeing tobacco with Al Gore--yeah that's it.
"Ee i ee i o"
Hey 5-7 vacation days a year at the farm doesn't qualify as living and working on a farm. Sheesh.
Aahhh, now it comes together. That's the same farm where he met all those world leaders who told him that someday he would run for president against a guy named Bush and they wanted him to win.
" OK -- so just exactly when did he drive a tractor? He claimed he did, when he was 12 -- in the US, "on a farm".
Kerry's timeline doesn't jibe.
But, don't expect the mainstream misleadia to ask for clarification.
According to the new book on Kerry- " John F Kerry, The Complete Biography By The Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best ,"
Kerry and his family lived in Millis, Mass in a large farmhouse with
" tall ceilings, fireplaces,comfortable library, 6 bedrooms, a pond and a barn." Page 18, ibid.
This was a country estate, not a rough and tumble working farm.
The Kerry's were landed gentry, not humble farmers.
Kerry must have been driving the tractor and tilling the land-when he was 6.
Because in 1950-when Kerry was 7, the family moved to Chevy Chase, MD.
The book details how the family loved living in the political maelstrom of urban Washington,DC.
When Kerry was 10, his parents moved back to Berlin and Kerry was placed in a Swiss boarding school.
Summers were spent at the Forbes family compound in Saint Briac, France.
Perhaps that is where Kerry tilled the soil-along the Brittany coast of France.
In 1956,when Kerry was 13, his parents remained in Europe and transferred John to the Fessenden School in Newton, Mass, where Kerry felt lonely and isolated.
" Summers were the best escape from the stilted, isolated world of prep school
and Kerry spent most of his free time on the water,
either off the shores of Cape Cod or
in the fjords of Norway,
where his father in 1957,became a political officer in the US embassy in Oslo." Page 24, ibid.
No mention of Kerry mucking out stalls on a farm.
Instead, it sounds like Kerry spent idyllic summers sailing with the beautiful people.
Kerry is sounding more and more like he lives in the same fantasy world of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
Pulling ticks off dogs-now that proves you have been in the country. Been in the city 20 years now and anytime I pet someone's dog, I automatically pull ticks off if I find any. City folks just take them to the vet.
"I'm a black man. When I was 12 it was my passion to listen to Sam and Dave's I'm a Soul Man. Why I almost wore out the grooves on that sucker.
"According to the new book on Kerry- " John F Kerry, The Complete Biography By The Boston Globe Reporters Who Know Him Best ,"
Thanks for the details from that book.
Kerry isn't even a good liar.
He is counting on the liberal media complicity to not expose his pathetic lies, even ones so easily debunked.
What a jerk!
Kerry is so unbelievable (rhapsodizing about learning his first cuss word on a John Deere?!) that stories about him inevitably seem like they must be from The Onion...but they're not. Scary.
Green acres is the place to be
Farm living is the life for me
Land spreading out,
so far and wide
Keep Manhattan,
just give me that countryside....
And the name WINTHROP seems to ring a bell.
You got it!! Flipper's doing it again!! Wait 24 hours and hear the revised version of "farmboy" Kerry.
Well...he meant to say he WATCHED people do this.
Hi. My name is Billy Bob Bubba. I'm from Arkansas and I'm the National Chairman of the Hillary Clinton For Vice President Committee and I'd like for you to sign our petition.
LOL, good one. She was a shepardess. Yup. Still, not nice to cut her head off.
It's a FONDA thing, me thinks !
I learned the bad words from my brother. That's what brothers are for. He also helped me look them up in the dictionary. Very cool!!

Look, folks, here's a guy with one of the most expensive educations money can buy, and he can't string a sentence together. He can't hold a thought without moving off into fantasy. This is a dangerous man, not in the ordinary scheme of things, where his comforts are his first thought, but as the leader of the greatest country, and the greatest power, on the face of the earth. As was the case with Clinton, despite the different upbringing, it is all about him, only him, all the time him. Don't let this happen.
