Kerry says GOP lied about Foley, Iraq
By HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 14 minutes ago
Sen. John Kerry, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, likened the congressional page scandal to the war in Iraq on Friday, saying Republicans have lied about both.
"They tell us we're making progress in Iraq and that there is no civil war. That is a lie," Kerry, D-Mass., said in remarks prepared for delivery at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual fall fundraising dinner. "There is a civil war and it is costing American and Iraqi lives every single day, and we must change course in Iraq."
Republicans also are lying when they claim the page scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) is a Democratic plot to win the midterm elections, Kerry said.
"This issue is here because of a Republican cover-up," he said. "And those from the party that preaches moral values that covered this up have no right to preach moral values anymore."
Foley, R-Fla., resigned Sept. 29 after being confronted with sexually explicit computer messages he sent to a teenage male page. For several days afterward, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., blamed Democrats for the scandal but later changed course and took responsibility for the matter.
On Thursday, the House ethics committee questioned a former Foley aide who has said he took complaints about Foley's conduct to Hastert's chief of staff three years ago. Hastert's chief of staff has denied that exchange took place.
Kerry, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2004, has packed his schedule with appearances for Democratic candidates for Congress and state offices.
New Hampshire Republican Reps. Charles Bass and Jeb Bradley "have failed to ask the tough questions, failed to demand the answers and rubber-stamped a willful president's wrongful course," Kerry said.

Let's see...
Tradesports has him at a 3.3, compared to 49 and change for Hillary... That makes him fifth among Dems (behind Osama Obama).
He doesn't even show on the overall trades.
So, why are we listening to him again?
Well if anyone knows that anyone is lieing, it should be "I'll sign my 180 form" liar.....
What's wrong with his eyes?

I don't recall anyone blaming Democrats initially, although it was the first thing that crossed my mind. It was probably almost a week into the scandal when I first heard of anyone connecting the scandal to Dems.
"What's wrong with his eyes?"
He just looked at his wife.
Not really sure what is wrong with John Kerry's eyes , either it is his botox wearing off, or the sleeze within taking hold.
And he wears pink lip stick too.
The Republicans have been behaving like idiots this year, but they can be consoled by the fact that there is a much bigger idiot than them who keeps screaming for attention.
That's a tuff call. Like asking a parent to choose his fave child.
Whenever I see that pic I always think he screamed "Wilson!!" every time it hit him on the noggin.
Cancan anyone?
That's my recollection, too. I'm sure Hastert didn't blame anyone, and the AP is engaged in a blatant lie.
This kind of stuff infuriates me.
Rewriting history within a month.
Lies.
Where's the damn miltary RECORDS? Get your own damn lies straight before worrying about anyone ELSE.
MY favorite, that is even untouched.
