SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Sen. John F. Kerry told state legislators Friday the Democratic Party doesn't need to undergo an extreme makeover, saying "the last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."
After blistering Republicans on everything from Iraq to health care, Kerry said Democrats have an opportunity to rebuild nationally by simply addressing the concerns that affect people's daily lives -- energy, transportation, health care and security.
"We have to go out and fight for the real issues that make a difference in the lives of the American people and we don't need some great lurch to the right or lurch to the left or redefinition of the Democratic Party," the Massachusetts Democrat said. "The last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."
Kerry spoke to 750 Democratic state legislators who were attending the National Conference of State Legislatures. He announced plans to campaign and raise money for Democratic legislative candidates across America.
His ill-fated 2004 presidential campaign was still clearly on Kerry's mind, with an analysis and a broadside against President Bush and congressional Republicans taking up the lion's share of his 35-minute speech to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee's luncheon.
...snip...
Kerry told his audience that while Republicans dither and practice politics of "nastiness and partisanship," Democratic legislators are showing the right stuff, connecting with people on their front porches and then going to the capitals to fix their problems.
"The states are now the laboratories, much more than before, because of the refusal of Washington to do what's important and necessary. You're forced to spend too much time cleaning up what Washington either messes up or leaves undone altogether."

He still thinks he important, I thought we were through with him.
No, we don't. The one we have is good enough for government work.
Kaptain Ketchup needs to obtain the services of a surgeon. Why? John FUBAR Kerry, aka Kaptain Ketchup, needs some eyeholes next to his belly button, so he can see.
Ted doesn't like windmills. He's tilted at quite a few during his political career, and he's also very fond of birds.
Not to mention abortion and sodomy.
"Kerry told his audience that while Republicans dither and practice politics of "nastiness and partisanship,"
Obvioussly once again confusing his own party with ours.
His is the only party I see doing that.
I can't believe he said that...but he's right!
You know what America DOES need you overblown poofter? It needs a minority party that doesn't kick it in the shins just because they lose some elections and wanna act like friggin' babies.
You want Americas' votes? Tell us what you stand for. But you can't. I don't think you've got the grapes! You and I both know you will lose even worse if America knows what you really stand for.
'Now go away, before we taunt you a second time'

I believe they were around when the dinosaurs were still on earth. Kerry didn't 'evolve' well, lol!
