ORLANDO, Fla. -- Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who lost this crucial swing state in November, sounded Friday as if he were still stumping for Florida's votes.
The Massachusetts senator, at a National Head Start Association conference to tout his plan to provide health care for uninsured children, hammered on familiar themes of values and unity while repeatedly criticizing the Bush administration and Republican leaders in Congress.
"I went back and reread the whole New Testament the other day. Nowhere in the three-year ministry of Jesus Christ did I find a suggestion at all, ever, anywhere, in any way whatsover, that you ought to take the money from the poor, the opportunities from the poor and give them to the rich people," Kerry said.
Kerry has yet to officially announce whether he's in the running for the 2008 nomination, and he didn't take questions from the media Friday.
"We need to enlist and join together in a great cause across the country that puts a simple choice before our fellow Americans. It's a choice that, I think, is based on values," Kerry said.

"The fact is, 10 million more Americans voted for our idea of what we wanted to do than voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 when he was the sitting president of the United States," Kerry said. "The fact is, a million people volunteered. The fact is, across America we created an energy. And that energy is going to keep on going and keep on fighting until we achieve what we want to."....

""I went back and reread the whole New Testament the other day."Read the whole New Testament in one day? One, I don't believe him, and two, must have been a cursory read without thought.

. . .he didn't take questions from the media Friday."
And he's terrified of the sub-media. (That still sounds the folks who write about submarines.)

The Senator John Kerry lies, AGAIN.
He did not "go back" and re-read the New Testament "the other day". Reading the Bible is not something one does in a flippant manner -- to prove a point.
He belongs to the group who believes they can lie to make a point. They think that the end justifies the means.
No integrity, whatsoever.

Is there a soul on the planet that has less of a clue than this freak? Go away, John, just go away.

WTF is this guy talking about? He must be referring to tax cuts...? how the hell is a tax cut for those who pay taxes = taking money from the poor!?!?
This guy is a whack job.
Nowhere in the bible does God endorse stealing money from one person to give to another whether they are needy or not.
The whole concept behind charitable giving is it's VOLUTARY nature. This guy doesn't have a clue what the bible says.

Went back to read the New Testament? One day? I don't believe he ever read it in the first place, never mind about going back to it.
What a poseur!
To: Nyboe
I must have missed those passages in the bible where Jesus started breaking into rich people homes to take their money to redistribute to the poor and needy...

Kerry and his ilk wouldn't get away with these outrageous statements if it weren't for enablers in the press. You can bet your house that no Republican (other than St. McCain, maybe) would.

that you ought to take the money from the poor, the opportunities from the poor and give them to the rich people," Kerry said. If by definition poor people have no money, then how can a rich person take something they don't have?
Maybe John F'n Kerry fell down the rabbit hole.

If the lilly-livered R's in the senate can't even hold there water on the judicial nominees, I suppose the will be equally weak-kneed to proceed with any action against the phony poser Kerry.
