Kerry Takes Them On

[Rose Siding]

We all saw the anger and distortion of the Republican Convention. For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as Commander-in-chief. We’ll, here’s my answer. I’m not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq.

The Vice President even called me unfit for office last night. I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty.

Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without healthcare makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi Royal Family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions of government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit. That's the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney. And it's not going to change. I believe it's time to move America in a new direction; I believe it's time to set a new course for America.

5. OH HELL YES

Now that's the ass kicking I've been waiting for. I have been in this man's corner since the spirited debates with the Deaniacs and have known that this guy can pull thru.

I have sit back patiently waiting as the polls drop, DU pollsters get increasingly frustrated and Chimp continues the propaganda parade.

That comment is RIGHT to the chase. RIGHT TO IT....nail their ass John. NAIL THESE thugs.
