Kerry urges unity in war against terrorism

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — Presidential challenger John Kerry urged voters on Saturday not to allow the videotaped message from Osama bin Laden to stir up partisan feelings. "As Americans we are absolutely united, all of us. There are no Democrats, there are no Republicans," Kerry said. "As Americans we are united in our determination to destroy, capture, kill Osama bin Laden and all of the terrorists. They are barbarians, and we are going to hunt them down and we will make America safe."

Kerry did not dwell on the new message from the al-Qaida leader, other than to repeat his charge that President Bush allowed bin Laden to escape in the Afghan mountains in late 2001. He concentrated his final weekend appeal on voters who have suffered under Bush's economic and military leadership.

"In three days, a woman or a husband is going to walk into that polling booth and they're going to think about their spouse that left to go to Iraq months ago, maybe close to a year ago," Kerry said. "And they're going to wonder how long that spouse is going to have to stay in Iraq, and the kids are going to be wondering, 'Daddy, Mommy, when are you coming home? Are you coming home?'"

Kerry said his election will give soldiers in Iraq "the leadership and the hope that they need and to get them home."

The point should be made that Kerry has something serious to hide. Why else his failure to release his military, medical, and 1st. lady wanabee's tax records.

Thanks for clarifying that and saving me the trouble...

Also, don't forget The Carter-Clinton sellout to N. Korea on nuclear materials...with the bogus fuel oil give away.

Kerry said his election will give soldiers in Iraq "the leadership and the hope that they need and to get them home." Yep, it would get them home alright, and take away any hope the Iraqi people have of a free and safe future.

Al Qerry-Heinz III will crawl on his belly with his trusty hunting rifle and hunt them down.

No, he can't do that, he will get muddy. Terazzza might be pissed. Do you know how much it costs to get a set of Cammo's pressed?

IF I were to pick... I'd probably knock Kerry off before Bin Laden. Kerry is the greater threat.

Partisan finger pointing?

At this point, I prefer GWB's finger.

This may bite Kerry in the rear. Joe "Plugs" Biden, the man who, along with Hillary, met with European "democrats" (aka socialists/kommies) last year to COORDINATE international goals.
Gag me with a spoon!

If Kerry is elected, they will all resign and come home on their own. Terrorism will have won.

Kerry said: " there are no Democrats, no republicans, no pro-abortionists, no anti-abortionists, no immorality, no morality, no pro-perversion, no anti-perversion, no up, no down,no right, no wrong, no sane, no insane, no liberals, no conservatives, no terrorists, no anti-terrorists, no patriots , no traitors,no nothing."nothing from Kerry but nonsense.

Osama will be voting absentee, for Kerry.

Looks like Kerry is a little sensitive about UBL plagiarizing his material.
