The Massachusetts senator said he would not allow anyone to question his fitness for the White House. "Not gonna do it, not gonna happen," Kerry said. "I will not have my commitment to defending this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they had a chance, and I will not have it questioned by those who misled this nation into war in Iraq."
Kerry said Republicans had distorted his 20-year record in the U.S. Senate, including his vote authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein and his subsequent vote against $87 billion to fund operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. "All this negative advertising, blah blah blah," Kerry said. "It turns people off."
He ridiculed the administration's August job numbers that showed the unemployment rate dropped from 5.5 percent to 5.4 percent with the addition of 144,000 new jobs. "At the rate that this administration is creating jobs, you're not going to have a net plus-one job in the state of Ohio until the year 2011," he said.

Let's hope the inner voices he's hearing are eating at his soul. The human brain is not capable of concealing lies, and it's my opinion he's breaking under that great pressure. I hope the Swiftees turn up the heat another notch, Kerry's head is about to explode.
Lisa I was born and raised in the armpit of the nation, Youngstown ohio, little chicago.
my family is still there.
The economic slide began in 74
I love Ohio but GWB is not responsible for its current woes
Yes, Anti war and drinking too much.
That was Thomas Lipscomb of The Chicago Suntimes.
Nothing about this moron surprises me anymore. It is kinda fun to sit back and watch him self-destruct though. Have you heard what's happened to TerYaZa? Is she still in "hiding" or did she make an appearance anywhere today?
"If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a major confrontation with value, self-esteem and your sense of how others view you."

Kill em off overseas.
Well, Mr. Kerry, not only is your position and ability being questioned and challenged, but IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED!!! And what are you going to do to stop it Mr. Kerry??? Send out your goon squad of attorneys to threaten every politician, citizen, broadcast network and publishing house to suppress the First Amendments Rights of all of them??? Major Pinko!!!
Try admitting your plethora of lies, for openers -- you might actually have a chance at suppressing the expose' of your corrupt, anti-American background...
This is going to be interesting....and Hillary is loving every second of it!!!
Nope, HE turns people off.
I would be willinig to bet that the unions where responsible for it.
"Mr. Nice-Guy" and "take off the gloves!"
It sounds to me like he better put the gloves on, Rocky style, that is.
Now that you mention it, no I didn't see her last night or today. She went on a boat ride with him Thursday. Thurston and Lovey.
Michael Barrone on Fox said this tone sounded more like something Kerry would say to his butler, not the American public.
My son in law is from Brookfield (close to Youngstown). My daughter has converted him, and he is now a die-hard Republican.
I really don't see Ohio as being in such bad shape, economically.
Sounds like it.
Thanks for the info, Gail. I was really impressed with him, and want to read some of his stuff.
Hope the loser keeps this up!!!!
There are a lot of old manufacturing areas that are still hurting.
Largely because old dem die hards think somehow manufacturing will return to its glory days.
