The Massachusetts senator said he would not allow anyone to question his fitness for the White House. "Not gonna do it, not gonna happen," Kerry said. "I will not have my commitment to defending this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they had a chance, and I will not have it questioned by those who misled this nation into war in Iraq."
Kerry said Republicans had distorted his 20-year record in the U.S. Senate, including his vote authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein and his subsequent vote against $87 billion to fund operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. "All this negative advertising, blah blah blah," Kerry said. "It turns people off."
He ridiculed the administration's August job numbers that showed the unemployment rate dropped from 5.5 percent to 5.4 percent with the addition of 144,000 new jobs. "At the rate that this administration is creating jobs, you're not going to have a net plus-one job in the state of Ohio until the year 2011," he said.

But that would eliminate Kerry from asking himself any questions.

These people are psychotic. Kerry is a disaster. He's out there claiming that people are saying things about him and his patriotism when those things haven't been said.
Is this the speech he gave late last night when he was drunk/high and slurring his words?
Flip Flop...Flip Flop...Flip Flop
Good night Johnboy.
LOL No, I think it was today after the unemplyment figure was released. I guess its been a bad 24 hrs for him LOL
I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible. . . .I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job.
I thought last night could have been the start of something, and Kerry completely blew it. He came off mean and inebriated.
He can't get his head out of 'Nam. That's all there is to it.
"I will not have"....
Typical haughty snotty condescending Boston Brahmin attitude...

Exploiting the plight of unemployed Americans for political gain. Shameful.
