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.

" Foley, R-Fla., resigned Sept. 29 after being confronted with sexually explicit computer messages he sent to a teenage male page."

How many time do we have to correct the media ???!!!!
And that lying sack, John Kerry ??
Jordan was NOT a page at the time of the IMs.
He may have been a page at one time, as well as a 4th grader and maybe even a Boy Scout.
He was definitely a fetus at one time, so maybe we should call this the Foley Fetus Scandal.
And lest we forget, Jordan wrote back as explicitly as he got, was old enough to get married in Mass as part of a gay couple, may have initiated some of the IMs and denies any physical contact with Foley.
Two gay men having a physically celibate relationship has caused the Democrats and the media to have a collective breakdown.

He never DID release all of his records. He's lying about that too, much like he lied about everything else. DemRats really love liars...

as long as they're fellow DemRats.

Did you know John Kerry got three purple hearts in Viet nam for wounds that only required a band aid?

The one where he left the little splinter in his arm and ran to his CO to say "Look at this!" was particulary touching.

This coming from the party that preached NO moral values
and covered up drownings, rapes, homosexual prostitution, and having sex with an intern in the Oval office,
now want to preach moral values???

Take a flying leap Gingus Klan.

Oooooo, that Kerry is such a loser.

A lot of the liberals don't want Lurch to run again in 2008.Word is they are looking for a new'' fresh face'' to energize and invigorate their party, and restore them back to power. So far this guy's at the top of their list!.............

Let's give this some serious thought...pond scum could be an intriguing sequel...paging John Edwards..Mr. Edwards could you please step to the podium and give Mr. Kerry a great big "Weeerr'ee Baaack" hug. At that point I will say.."Fear not..let your heart be at peace", lol.
