Republicans to pay heavy price for Iraq war: Kerry
By US correspondent Michael Rowland

John Kerry must be ruing the fact this year's mid-term elections are not a presidential poll.

The rising tide of public discontent with the Republicans has come two years too late for the 2004 Democrat nominee but this has not stopped him barnstorming the country on behalf of his party's congressional candidates.

I caught up with Senator Kerry in picturesque Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he was campaigning for Democrat candidate and Iraq war veteran Patrick Murphy.

Looking much better in person than the cadaver that he often comes across as on TV, Senator Kerry said the war in Iraq was an enormous issue in this campaign and that the Bush administration was simply unwilling to acknowledge the mistakes that have been made since the 2003 invasion.

He believes the Republicans are about to pay a heavy political price for the mishandling of the whole Iraq adventure.

1. Damn. I was hoping he was talking about a *legal* price.

Silly me.

2. The Republican Party should be banned in America...

the same way The Nazi Party is banned in Germany.

It should be part of the deal America makes with the United Nations, along with the reparations for our War of Aggression.
