Kerry puts a price on the lives of our Childresn... In its latest attempt to hypnotize the American public the Kerry campaign has been targeting the cost of the war on terror in an effort to sway American voters. According to Kerry we have found a way to bring the war home, saying, "Bush's go-it-alone approach had cost billions of dollars that could have been spent on jobs, schools and health care." The very callousness of this statement shows that John Kerry has no plan to protect our children. Let the grim facts of Beslan Russia remind us that the enemies of freedom do not care about the Geneva Convention, terror is their creed. How can we as Americans let a man that by his very words associates the protection of the United States in terms of cost? His vote against the war appropriations bill and his latest barrage on the cost of the war make it clear that he places a monetary cost to the causes of Liberty and Freedom. America must never relent and we must bear and burden and pay any cost, to ensure the blessings of Liberty to our children. This is the core of our Constitution. How dare John Kerry put a price on the very lives of our children? What good are all the social and environmental programs in the world if you cannot enjoy them due to terror? In this election it is important for the American people to determine the next president based on the priorities that the leader will bring to the office and John Kerry's priorities are wrong for the future of America.

"When I get in a fighting mood towards the end of September and towards the beginning of October, I think you know what happens here," Kerry told an enthusiastic crowd, adding that he already feels "the October juices flowing."

Ms. Cahill, get the Depends.

"Now the president tells us we dont have the resources to take care of health care and education here at home,"

When did he tell us this, exactly?

[RoseofTexas]

I see the mediapressWHORES are tyring their best to pump up their RAT jerk! I know you clymers LURK here...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN...your man sKerry is going to lose!!! NOBODY LIKES HIM...GET IT! He has the personality of a SKUNK!! W BY A LANDSLIDE!!! YEAH BABY!!

[Shermy]

Will an intrepid reporter ask Kerry what he would do differently, other than run to Chirac?

[Boundless]

> ... reminded supporters in his home town of Boston ...

Let's see. This is a major policy stake-in-the-ground
moment, and the candidate chooses his HOME STATE to
deliver it, and not some key battleground state?

Or is MA now a battleground state?

Perhaps he just wanted 2000 miles between himself
and Dan Rather when he made the statement.

Disclaimer: "policy stake-in-the-ground" should not be
mistaken for "firm", "resolved" or "irrevocable" in the
case of John Kerry.

[Paul Atreides]

Does it matter? He was in Vietnam for four months.

lol

"Hey , any of you folks wanna work on my campaign staff?"

[sinkspur]

Kerry has never said anything about he would do, which is why this issue works in Bush's favor.

Merely trashing Bush over the issue continues to reinforce that Kerry has been all over the lot on Iraq.

Why is it when I see these two I see mind of a child in an adults' body X2.

[MisterRepublican]

I can't believe this scumbag is running for president as a war protester.

SCREW NATIONAL SECURITY!-VOTE KERRY/EDWARDS IN 04

[Read2Know]

Media bias:The US president will address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, with the crisis in Iraq mounting again amid almost daily attacks and the US military death toll now past 1,000. What does the 1000 KIA's have to do with Kerry's strategies for the campaign? And what's it got to do with Bush speaking to the UN?

[Fast1]

This horsefaced POS is DOING nothing BUT encouraging the terrorists in Iraq to step up their actions there.. He should keep his stupid remarks off Iraq where a military conflict is ongoing.

[MNJohnnie]

Absolutely MIND Boggling. A "NEWS" report that uses it's primary source a Washington Post OPINION piece!!!!! Could it be this "Iraq is a quagmire" propaganda in the POST is just the latest DNC directed CBS News style smear campaign? Could it be just another lie? My GOD, these people are not even PRETENDING to be journalists any more. This article doesn't even logically follow the point. Bush is ahead in numerous polls but according to the Washington POST Editorial board the people are idiots for picking Bush. Ah Let's see. the Washington Post vrs the proven leaders in the National Security team of the Bush Administration. OH YEAH, I REALLY am going to take the hyper partisan hack writer's opinion seriously over the professional Military, National Security and Diplomatic Corps. The absolutely arrogance of these people to assume THEY know better the professionals. What absolute garbage.

In a HIGH SCHOOL Journalism class, this paper gets an F and a rewrite.

If Kerry pursues this "strategy", the similarity between his past (treasonous) "antiwar" activities and their effects on the soldiers in Vietnam (North and South), and his current cavalier attitude to our soldiers' (and our Allies soldiers') sacrifices and accomplishments needs to be brought into sharp focus. Johnny is having a senior moment. He thinks that he can go back to his old Lefty activist days, just 'cause Mikey Moore and the Prince of Darkness, Wesley Clark, tell him it's okay. He doesn't realize that his new (former Clinton) advisors are trying to torpedo his campaign with this "tactic".

[MNJohnnie]

AH, AFP. French Govt. Press. NO WONDER it make ZERO sense.
