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.

I firmly believe in Kerry's commitment - preferably to Bellevue!
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.
It's Bouquet, B-U-C-K-E-T
4th down 1 Hr. Anybody have replay radio?
According to Kerry we can only question W's fitness for the White House""
I want to change ABB to NBB = NOBODY BUT BUSH!!!!
kerry, you're doing great. Keep it up and don't change a thing. You can pull this off as long as you keep things going according to your plan.
It's all working, even if it doesn't look like it right now.......punch the evil Republicans again big guy, you can do it!!
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.
It's called denial.
.
"Hope the loser keeps this up!!!!"
SSHH!! Remember the old adage, when your enemy is deystroying himself, just stay out of the way. Keep quiet. We should all agree here and now to avoid cluing in this "super-smart" candidate!! LOL!
This is not fun any more, Ter-ray-zaa.
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?
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.
Too stupid to realize it, but he has officially asked for the heat to be turned up.
Sorta like South Bend, Indiana. Union workers there are still waiting for Studebaker to return.
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.
