HUDSON, N.H. -- A key detail in a story told by Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is being questioned.
The Massachusetts senator has repeatedly talked about a New Hampshire woman who was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Kerry says she continued working out of fear of losing her health insurance, because her husband was unemployed.
In television ads, e-mails and speeches, Kerry has used the plight of Mary Ann and John Knowles to criticize the Bush administration's health care policies.
But the Knowles' own account differs in one key detail. John Knowles told the New Hampshire Sunday News that Mary Ann could have taken disability leave without losing her health insurance, but needed to keep earning her full salary.
John Knowles said taking disability leave would have meant living on about 70 percent of Mary Ann's regular paycheck.
So John, what are you doing with yourself that prohibits you from earning 30% of what your sick wife earns??? Need an allowance to shoot pool and hit the tavern until she comes home from her job?? Loser!

Is his real name John Kerry?
Bill, Hill, and now Kerry, give evidence of having a massive narcisstic personality disorder. To them, the world is an extension of themselves, and they feed their massive egos through the compliant worship of the world. It's truly sick. And yet what scares me isn't so much that a politician can exhibit these kind of traits, but that there are a sufficient percentage of voters who are willing to enter into a grotesque co-dependent dance with these politicos, and feed their narcissistic appetites. Kerry shouldn't even be a blip on the polling radar screens. The fact the election at this point appears to be a toss-up speaks badly of about half the voters in U.S. Our nation is in grave peril when half the electorate is too mentally sick, intellectually impaired, and ethically empty to see the moral vacuity of someone like John Kerry.
Hmmm...It's probably John Hartpence, or John Blyth.
Yeah, why do the Democrats continue to insist on putting up candidates who are completely absent any moral character?
I just realized why they don't do that anymore. The last 2 RAT candidates who were honest were McGovern and Mondale.
What do you want to bet this couple owns two new SUVs, and they need the wife's full salary to pay off the loans? Not to pick on SUV owners, but I'd bet the equivalent of 30% of this woman's income that they're a couple that lives way beyond their means, and he won't let his wife go on disability because it would destroy the float they need to keep paying the minimum amounts on all of their monthly credit card bills.
Hillary Rodham loves John Kerry. He will make her president in 2008.
Bingo! The Dimwads can't afford to be honest...that would be electoral suicide.
To be quite honest, my favorite word is THE word. There are times when no other word will do. I love that word. But never, ever in front of the kids and I do not think I have ever posted it (Might have the DNC smearing me in the future, one never knows)
