Stephanopoulos to John Kerry: Bush says we're turning a corner

Stephanopoulos: He says we're turning a corner.

Kerry: Well, if you talk to a lot of people in America who are struggling to pay their health insurance or have lost their jobs, they don't think so. I don't think you're turning the corner when 4 million people have lost their health insurance. What corner has he turned? I've introduced many pieces of legislation that are the law of the land today, and the president is just trying very hard because he doesn't have a record to run on.What people want is real leadership. They want health care for their families, they want jobs that pay more, not less than the jobs that are going overseas. They want us to be safer in the world. I will not mislead America into war. I will lead this country to a safer place than George Bush has, and they're worried about it so they're just attacking.

1. We've turned a corner into a dark alley...
Where your wallet is stolen from you, your wife is raped, and your kids are sold into slavery.

Maybe not that bad, but sometimes feels pretty close to it.

3. not far from that...
already. Given the workload that a vast majority of American's bear, we're not all that far from slaves. And having the government take an interest in your life for one reason or another is certainly a form of rape, IMHO.
