Kerry: Bush Wrong on U.S. Economy as Well as Iraq

Kerry Quotes from www.johnkerry.com

"He's just plain stubborn, out of touch and unwilling to change course...It's not just Iraq. Over the past four years he's made serious misjudgments here at home.... (tax cut for the wealthy, job losses, high gas prices, rising college tuition, unaffordable health care and expensive prescription drugs, etc.)... (Bush) confuses staying in place with leadership ....administration seems to be in a constant state of denial that neglects the needs of these Americans.. the real test of leadership is how you respond if things go wrong -Do you face the facts ... or do you stick with your story and ignore reality?....In fact, the only people George Bush's policies are working for are the people he chooses to help..They're working for drug companies. They're working for oil companies ... and they're certainly working for Halliburton." <snip>"

Kerry: Bush Wrong on U.S. Economy as Well as Iraq

By Patricia Wilson

ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry pivoted from the contentious debate over Iraq to bread-and-butter issues Saturday and accused President Bush of "serious misjudgments" on the economy as well as the war.

Two days after the presidential debate in Miami which many Americans thought he won, Kerry turned the same aggressive focus on Bush's "wrong choices" on Iraq to his domestic agenda and said the Republican president had turned his back on the middle class in favor of the wealthy and well-connected. <snip>

He offered "a new choice" on jobs, health care, taxes and energy, saying he would roll back Bush's tax cut for Americans earning more than $200,000 a year to pay for his proposals.

Kerry would eliminate tax breaks that reward U.S. companies for sending jobs abroad, cut corporate taxes by 5 per cent, offer a new tax credit to jump-start the creation of manufacturing jobs, enforce trade laws and raise the minimum wage from $5.15 per hour to $7 by 2007.

He said he would allow the importation of cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, provide affordable health care for many of the 44 million uninsured Americans and extend middle class tax cuts. <snip>

3. The "Liberal" Media...
Just can't seem to ever let any sort of report about Kerry go without some kind of disclaimer or a rebuttal by a spokesman of the administration. It's sickening.
