I'm a confirmed idiot.

Is that too nasty 8-?

[Boundless]

> Kerry slammed Bush's campaign tactics, saying he
> "will say anything and do anything to get elected
> and hold on to power" ...

The unintended self-confessions continue unabated.

[xJones]

You won't believe this, but I couldn't find one mention in that article about the CBS forgeries Rather tried to shill. < /sarcasm>

[Darkwolf377]

Nasty rhetoric = the truth about Kerry, as opposed to his war hero lies

[Casloy]

Kerry slammed Bush's campaign tactics, saying he "will say anything and do anything to get elected and hold on to power"

Yeah, but you'll never hear him say "heavens to Betsy" or "Bring it on," because unlike you he is a real man.

[SAJ]

...Democratic residential nominee...

I'd cheerfully vote for him for 'resident'. Which mental health facility did you have in mind?

Kerry was especially angered over a barrage of television ads aimed at discrediting his Vietnam War service, which are widely credited with the downward slide in his polling numbers.

Clearly a reference to the Swiftboat Vets ads. Of course, the diligent and scrupulously fair AFP wire clearly notes in the article that the ads did not from the Bush campaign -- NOT!

[tomnbeverly]

HUH? Doesn't Kerry listen to his own pandering the guy has taken every side on every issue and told every voter what they wanted to hear. He is the one that will do or say anything to try and get elected.... But Americans aren't that dumb Mr. Elitess.... We know the difference of owning an SUV and not owning one.

[joesnuffy]

Kerry slammed Bush's campaign tactics, saying he "will say anything and do anything to get elected and hold on to power"

Pretty much nailed his own character in this rant.....

[Verginius Rufus]

Hmmm...nothing about Kerry's claim in his 9/11 speech before a black audience that the Republicans will try to suppress the black vote on the order of 1,000,000 votes.

[Howlin]

This is a very, very angry man; it's just not possible that he could be allowed to be POTUS.

I saw Tucker Carlson on CNN today and he said that when he interviewed Kerry two years ago about a possible candidacy, all Kerry wanted to talk about was Vietnam. For two hours.

Something is wrong with him.

[tet68]

Note that almost every press photo of Kerry is taken
by someone fawning at his feet. Wonder why?
It's because his "crowds" aren't worth photographing.
To show the poor turnout would only provide a reason
why he lost. As we learned last time, even when they lose,
the left want's to call into question the procedures used.
They are laying the groundwork for a shift to a straight
democracy instead of a representative republic.
It MUST BE STOPPED....NOW!

[Harris]

I guess I'll be booted after almost 7 years but here goes:

Kerry is telling the truth when he says Bush will say anything to get elected cause I think Bush is lying about Kerry. Bush said Kerry served America honorably. On this one point I have to think that Bush is lying just to get elected.

Kerry himself has said that Bush is trying to discredit Kerry's Vietnam service. So if Bush says Kerry served America honorably and Kerry says Bush is lying ... draw your own logical conclusions.

Look I know that Kerry served in Vietnam. For those of you who haven't heard, let me tell you it is true. However, I still haven't figured out for which side.

Expect more dirty tricks from the Kerry camp. I'm from Massachusetts and I remember when Kerry first ran for Congress. Kerry's brother was arrested for breaking into his opponents headquarters. Nothing much was done, of course that's how it is in Massachusetts.

We know the difference of owning an SUV and not owning one.

Ahh, but to liberals, we aren't supposed to own anything, so yeah, that fits perfectly with their mindset.

[ruoflaw]

He is out of touch with reality and he appears to be unstable. Kerry is the one that will say or do anything to get elected. His campaign is pathetic!

[AFreeBird]

Fifty days out from the US presidential election, the rhetoric is becoming nastier between George W. Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites), as the US president's lead appears to be solidifying.

Ummm, perhaps I missed it; all I saw was reports of Kerry's nasty rhetoric, Bush has been quite the gentleman, eventhough this article implies both sides getting nasty.

Cornered Rats and all that...

hehehehe

[wyattearp]

Kerry slammed Bush's campaign tactics, saying he "will say anything and do anything to get elected and hold on to power" in an interview in the Monday edition of Time magazine.

Except that Bush hasn't said anything or done anything. He's just been kicking back watching Kerry accumulate more and more self-inflicted wounds.
