Has Kerry ever directly mentioned the Neocons?
I watched a documentary last night called "Hijacking Catastrophe 9/11", about how the Bush junta is trying to create an empire without ever coming out and saying that's what they're up to. It made me realize that if John Kerry really wants to win this thing, he should call these people out and expose them for what they are: the true enemies of the United States.

So has Kerry ever specifically mentioned this facet of the Bush administration? Because to me, there is no other facet. Everything else is just window dressing to cover up their real agenda. And if Kerry isn't willing to expose these people to the country and the world, then I'm not sure he can win.

1. While you may know about them and their agenda
This has not really been exposed by the mass media and until and if it is, Kerry should stay away from it because he'll only be labeled a conpiracy nut.

2. i'm not sure the used that actual word "neocons" but he was pretty
straightforward when he "forgot the mike was on" a few months ago :evilgrin:

In a private moment with union supporters on Wednesday Kerry forgot he was wearing a radio microphone and let slip his animus toward the Bush White House: "These guys are the most crooked ... lying group of people I have ever seen."

Those are exactly the kind of fighting words he needs to pepper throughout his campaign speeches. And when the White House demands an apology you know they hit the mark.

4. And so he did.
Good words. But no neocons there. The long run that Dems had started in 1933 and lasted until,oh maybe 1980. It was because they could govern. Good things happened. People always like that. When in doubt,vote Democrat, they deliver.
The Republicans have done so poorly,they just can't govern. Look for a change.

3. I believe I heard it
Don't quote me, but I thought I heard Kerry mention the Project for a New American Century at a speech in Green Bay.
