Excerpts from Kerry's speech (This is Unbelievable!)
Associated Press and Reuters ^ | Sept. 4, 2004 | Associated Press and Reuters

Posted on 09/03/2004 7:28:20 PM PDT by The Bandit

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.

Yoo hoo, Kerry, you moron! Job figures such as we currently have have been considered tantamount to full employment by most economists for decades.

This is like watching a train wreck, you just can't divert your eyes. What is Kerry's message?
Now that W is up, outside the margin of error, Kerry can't go with his ABB strategy--he has to stand for something. Obviously they haven't thought about it so they are just melting down. If this continues and the media turns on him watch out it could be a landslide. I can't believe though that somebody's not gonna knock some sense into Kerry--get back on traditonal D issues, get the MSM the talking points and tighten this back up. But it sure is fun watching the wheels come off.

Why are you giving sKerry such poor advice? You know they will never follow it, we hope.

Kerry will not have anyone questioning his record?

Well, John Kerry- I am questioning your record. Every day. Multiple times a day. Discussing it with anyone and everyone I come into contact with.

I live in N Calif. I have my own home.. I have been self-employed for 20 years. I have worked hard for what I have. I didn't marry my source of survival or inherit it. Did it myself, thank you very much.

If you have the guts, Kerry, BRING IT ON!!!

You are a liar. You are a weasel. You cannot fathom the dangers of this world. The UN has been a miserable failure for a great number of years, and you want to turn to them for every decision right down to your choice of TP.

You have lived at the upper tip of financial wealth for so long you are totally clueless what mainstream America does every day and how they work hard to provide for their dependents.

BRING IT ON, Kerry. I double dog dare you. My zip code is 95946. In that small a town, we would know if you came here. If you do, I will show up and ID myself and debate you face to face. You will have a distinct advantage in that department because your face is 1/2 again as large as mine. My brain works better, tho, even on a one room grade school education, so BRING IT ON. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU, WEASEL.

The press won't have Kerry to kick around anymore.

The press, with few exceptions, is Kerry's ally. Even to lying and distorting for him. Conversely, the press really did kick Nixon around, and long before Watergate.

He says he will respond if attacked. """

WTF does Kerry think Sept 11, 2001 was? Earth to Kerry: WE ALREADY HAVE BEEN ATTACKED!! You zoned out and froze up for over 40 minutes. Are you still in that frozen time zone? Space warp? WHAT?

Does he also think the moon landing was staged on a Hollywierd back lot?

Trust the future of America to this man? NOT!! I wouldn't trust him to take a load of crap to the dump.

I got a Democratic Party email (I'm on their list to mointor them) that had Kerry's midnight message in full. They obviously think it was effective.

I will not have it questioned by those who misled this nation into war in Iraq."
I have a question :-) Was Sen. Kerry misled into voting for war? If so, how? Kerry served on the intelligence committee and knew the available intell for the last 10 years.

Oh wait, Kerry voted only to give Bush permission to threaten Saddam with war! Ummmm but why would a president need approval to make a threat?

Didn't Kerry say prior to his vote that it would be irresponsible for any senator to vote against the $87 billion funding?

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.

I blame it in part on all the tree-hugging/environmental policies of the liberal Dims in the course of the last 30 years.

However, I know what you're saying, my late daddy was an FDR democrat (not a liberal Dim) until his dying day.

It's the only thing we EVER disagreed about, and I wouldn't debate him about it, although others in my Conservative family did. I knew he would never change his political thought process, and had too much respect for him to even have the conversation.

"Is it just me or is anyone else bored by this egotistical turd yet?"

It might not be so bad if it would stay in the litter box where it belonged, but it keeps ending up on the dinner table.
