John Kerry's sister said at a "Women for Kerry" rally Sunday at Sawyer Point that President Bush has waged "war against women" and that her brother will be a champion for women if he's elected president Nov. 2. "We're on the eve of the most important election of our lives, certainly that is true for women," Peggy Kerry told about 1,500 people -- some men along with mostly women -- at the rally on the banks of the Ohio River.
"W stands for the war against women," she said. "This is what my brother stands for -- it can all be summed up in three words: The Supreme Court.
"It's not just about defending Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court is also so important for environmental rights and for affirmative action."
Kerry's older sister complained that women are paid an average of 76 percent of what men are paid.
"That is not fair," she said. "Let me tell you what my brother is going to fight for -- pay equity."
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, daughter of John Gilligan of Cincinnati, a former Ohio governor and now a Cincinnati school board member, told the rally that Ohio has lost a lot of jobs while Bush has been president.
"One of the reasons that jobs continue to be lost is we have an administration that doesn't understand that outsourcing jobs is not good for America," she said.
"We need good jobs within the borders of this great country."
Sebelius, who was joined by her father on stage, also blamed the high cost of health care insurance on Bush.
"For four years we've had a president who has no health care plan and we have 45 million Americans without health care insurance, and that's an outrage," she said.
Many in the crowd also made statements of their own with signs that derided Bush.
Carol Smith, who drove 125 miles to the rally from her home in Corydon, Ind., walked around the rally with a sign on her back that said, "Kerry to the White House. Cheney to the Jail House. Bush to the Nut House."
"This man (Bush) is not capable of running his own life, let alone the country," she said. "The man should be in a nut house.
"He is absolutely unfit to be president. Do you want the president of the United States, a mental case, with his finger on the red button?"
State Rep. Catherine Barrett of College Hill reminded rally goers that the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America "happened on the watch" of Bush.
"We want no more 9-11s," she said. "We want no more wars. We want no more lies."
Eve Bolton, a teacher in suburban Wyoming, criticized Bush for not being an "education president."
"If we lose the White House again, it is very possible we will lose public education," she said. "There are people who want to dismantle public education. Those people will be stopped if John Kerry is elected president."
Cincinnati Board of Education President Florence Newell said the W. in George W. Bush stands for "wrong for education."
"President Bush has under-funded 'No Child Left Behind' by more than $25 billion," she said. "What's right for education? Sen. John Kerry for president."
Former Cincinnati Mayor Roxanne Qualls, the rally's master of ceremonies, urged women to vote Nov. 2, a common theme among all rally speakers.
Peggy Kerry noted that 22 million women didn't vote in the 2000 presidential election.
"We've got to reach out to them and explain to them they must vote because our lives depend on it," she said. "It's up to the women because when women vote, Democrats win."

I've never seen a photo of this traitor.
Is she as ugly as I suspect?
I stand corrected. Sisters, daughters, wives, his running mate -- John Kerry is surrounded by women. Doesn't he hang out with any guys?
I thought W stood for "wrong." Now I find out it stands for "the war against women." Democrats really don't know how abbreviations and acronyms are crafted, do they?
I say let her spout off her shrill rhetoric all day long..
======
Yes, let them rant their lies, propoganda, socialist excrement, etc. They are good poster-fools for the socialists...RANT, RANT, RANT....its all they have.
Actually, if the situation was reversed, the editing would look like this.....
Speaking about Kerry's stand, his sibling said '....the war against women," she said. "This is what my brother stands for ...."
The sign was easy to attach to Carol's straitjacket.
"This is Kerry's other sister."
OMG, you mean there's TWO women out there that look like horses, er.. John Kerry?? How sad.
Yippee! She's here to campaign! Can Algore be too far behind?
Did you read about the type of women in that crowd? Think for themselves? Are you series?
Just add her to the ever-growing list of Hateful NAG Hags!

This is NOT a confident campaign if Kerry's sister has to go out and fire up the feminist base two weeks before the election. Something is rotten in the state of Ohio for the Kerry campaign.
Is that Kerry's sister? And does he even have a sister? Boy, that looks too much like him in a wig. Ewwwwwww...
Perhaps Kerry's sister could stop looking in the mirror for a minute. She might notice that President Bush has liberated millions of women from virtual chattel slavery in Afghanistan and a condition not much better in Iraq. She and her tofu-eating harridans are not the only women on earth.
We know that his running mate Edwards is for women having medical problems related to bearing children......so that he and his wife can make millions on them, their children and put doctors out of business.
We know that Edwards wife big ole Liz is for "trying" to humiliate the Cheney family by saying that they are ashamed of their lesbian daughter.
Yeah....this whole group really knows how to be there for women..
"D" stands for Desparate Diana.
I agree with youabout his leaving his first wife.
But I really wish everyone would stop this nonsense about making the daughters bastards......that is patently false. The annulment of a parents' marriage has no bearing about the status in the Church of the children of that marriage.
PLEASE bring John Gilligan in on this campaign - worst Governor in the history of Ohio. He makes even Taft look very, very good.
