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.

Hey John. Speaking of lies, when are you going to release your FULL service records?
BTW, what is it with Dems who were defeated for Pres? Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, John Kerry...they're all unbalanced. I give Michael Dukakis credit for simply fading into the shadows after he lost in '88.

Hey, Jean-Kerri, was that treason when you met with members of the North Vietnamese delegation in Paris while you were still in the armed services?
Is that why Jimmuh Carter had to give you a pardon?
Inquiring minds want to know. How about releasing your records?
He's one of the most boring demagogues they have, too.
Did his "man-servant" help him form any full sentence?
Did you know John Kerry got three purple hearts in Viet nam for wounds that only required a band aid?
Is my memory that bad? Did he actually do that?
