Kerry Vows to Be President Who Tells the Truth
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=domesticN... NEWARK, Ohio (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry 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."
The newly combative senator from Massachusetts said he would not allow President Bush or others to question his
fitness for the White House.
"Not gonna do it, not gonna happen," Kerry said. "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."
Neither Bush nor Vice President Dick Cheney, who scathingly attacked Kerry's national security credentials at the
Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, fought in Vietnam. Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard
and Cheney obtained five draft deferments.
