(2004-09-17) -- John Forbes Kerry, the Democrat presidential candidate, today denied allegations by President George Bush that Mr. Kerry has a plan for a "huge" government-controlled health care system.

"George W. Bush can only wish that I had a plan so he could have something to attack," said Mr. Kerry, who is also a U.S. Senator. "But if I had a health care plan, don't you think I would have introduced it during my 19 years in the Senate? After all, the legislative branch is where legislation starts, not the executive. I could have written a health care bill, rallied support among my senate colleagues and used my ample leadership skills to push it through with a veto-proof majority."

Mr. Kerry acknowledged that he does "have a plan to blame Mr. Bush for the shortcomings of America's health care system. And I also have a plan to talk about having a plan. But to accuse me of actually having a health care plan that I plan to put in place during my presidency is cynical at best."

Heh.

It has gotten so ridiculous. Was it Hannity last night that kept asking a guy what Kerry's plan was and all the guy could say was, "he has a plan", then try to launch into a tirade of what President Bush has done wrong. Pathetic.

Kerry really is, anyone but Bush.

I've noticed that in a lot of articles now, the reporters are finding simps who will say to them, "I like John Kerry's healthcare plan."

If I were a reporter, I might ask them to describe that wonderful healthcare plan that they support.

Not one person in America can do it.

Wait a minute folks, Ketchup lady said we must be "Idiot's" for not supporting her "Husband's" health care plan.

OK now we got'em, caught in an inconsistency.

*** Mr. Kerry acknowledged that he does "have a plan to blame Mr. Bush for the shortcomings of America's health care system. And I also have a plan to talk about having a plan. But to accuse me of actually having a health care plan that I plan to put in place during my presidency is cynical at best." ***

WTF???? I think the key word here is "plan".....
He's starting to confuse the words "nuance" and "nuisance"

Message from Iraq

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe
