NEWARK, Ohio (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) on Friday dismissed the Republican convention as "bitter and insulting" and promised to be a president who would tell Americans the truth.


"Every time they open their mouths they can't tell the truth," Kerry said at a rally. "It's time for us to have a president of the United States who can look you in the eye and when he does, you know you're being told the truth."

What's interesting is this 'graph. Look at how the writer presents the SBVT mess:

Kerry, a decorated Navy lieutenant who commanded gunboats in the Mekong Delta, has been criticized for failing to react quickly or strongly enough to advertisements challenging his service and his qualifications for the presidential role of commander-in-chief.

Looks like that smear is starting to smear back...

3. Yep. And when they say "Kerry is too negative",

Ask back "How is defending yourself being negative"?

Or "Wouldn't he be a girly-girl if he didn't fight back"?

Way to go JFK!!!

13. My favorite line....

"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."

Rock on!!
