Kerry: "Bush Unfit to Lead this Country"
(Headline Ought to Be: Kerry Looses His Cool, Blows the Election With Angry Reply to Bush)
Springfield, Ohio -- Roaring back at his Republican rivals, Sen. John Kerry called President Bush "unfit to lead this country" for "misleading" America into war in Iraq, and said Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney had avoided fighting in the Vietnam War.
"For the past week, they have attacked my patriotism and even my fitness to serve as commander in chief," Kerry told thousands here at a midnight rally shortly after Bush accepted the Republican nomination for a second term and questioned Kerry's support for combat troops in Iraq. * * *
The Kerry campaign scheduled the event days ago in an effort to reclaim the initiative in the race without letting a single news cycle pass. Kerry spoke a mere half an hour after the president concluded his acceptance speech -- and Kerry aides issued his prepared text even before Bush took the podium.

Bush, for his part, depicted Kerry Thursday night as a tax-hiking, big- spending social liberal who had defended his vote against an appropriations bill for Iraq by saying the matter was complicated. "There is nothing complicated about supporting our troops in combat," Bush said.
Kerry, decrying what he called "the anger and the distortion" of the Republican convention, hit back in his toughest appraisal yet of the qualifications of the incumbents.

Nah...come to think of it...he'll arrange for some appearance before his most "loyal" supporters, with lot's of media on-hand, and do exactly what you said...whine, whine, moan-n-groan, ad nauseum....
Bottom line, though...BUSH WINS! BUSH WON!
It's exactly how I saw it. Rush came on in his first segment and said "Kerry and his Burboun Band of Brothers", that about sums it up.
You're exactly right. If missed at first glance, you can always point it out and the mistaken person can then apologize for the oversight...which I do, sincerely.
"I will not have by record questioned by you, or anyone else!
I found this comment on a Red Sox fan site, bostondirtdogs.com:
"You probably didn't catch this, but the Jackass Junior Senator from Massachusetts in a speech he's giving at a rally in Ohio just told the crowd that he was really happy because the Red Sox just closed to within 2-1/2 games of the Yankees tonight. Some Boston fan, he doesn't even know what's really going on with the Sox, but claims to be a big fan. I guarantee a real Sox fan knows what the Yankees did tonight just as well as they know what the Sox did. That's almost as embarrassing as Ted Kennedy's pronunciation of "Mike" McGwire and Sammy "Sooser's" names a few years ago. How can they be senators from Massachusettes and be so baseball ignorant?"
Pretty funny.
Check out the picture next to page 88.
Shocking is an under statement. The Communists are honoring HIM as their HERO via the picture.
Bush mislead us = lie; Cheeny said Kerry was Unfit for command = lie; Bush said "Imminent Threat" = lie; Bush is responsible for lost jobs = lie; Bush is responsible for lack of health care = lie; ....Lie, lie, lie....
IT MUST SUCK TO HAVE YOUR OWN WORDS USED AGAINST YOU!!!
This is the argument that must be used everytime some weenie media person starts flapping their gums about the Republican "attack" machine trashing his record!!! We can't make this sh*t up!!! He is saying all this stuff himself!!
I voted for the war, before I voted against it
I personally saw people cut off heads....in the style of Ghengis Khan
These were not things that any RNC person has made up...this dumbass has said these things!
A man is known by only two things...his words and actions.
John Kerry is 0-2.
Yes indeed. I simply do not understand how he able to be considered a "war hero" for so long.
As someone who spends some time in bars [completely sober and very observant] trust me...he looked snockered.
I heard that Chris Matthews stopped showing it after a few minutes, saying that it was Bush's night. The people on DU were furious over that.
