Kerry: Republicans are lying

Kerry says GOP lied about Foley, Iraq

By HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press Writer 40 minutes ago

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sen. John Kerry, a potential presidential candidate in 2008, likened the congressional page scandal to the war in Iraq on Friday, saying Republicans have lied about both.

"They tell us we're making progress in Iraq and that there is no civil war. That is a lie," Kerry, D-Mass., said in remarks prepared for delivery at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual fall fundraising dinner. "There is a civil war and it is costing American and Iraqi lives every single day, and we must change course in Iraq."

Republicans also are lying when they claim the page scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley is a Democratic plot to win the midterm elections, Kerry said.

"This issue is here because of a Republican cover-up," he said. "And those from the party that preaches moral values that covered this up have no right to preach moral values anymore."

24. I like that... another word also comes to mind in place of "dishonest"....

"corrupt"

[blm]

26. I think Dems can lean fullbore on issues of Honesty and Anti-corruption.

The public is more than ready to start being American CITIZENS who can be trusted with the truth.

14. Now, he uses the word "lie"

During his 2004 campaign, he acted like the damn word was radioactive.

[blm]

22. With Bill Clinton publically supporting Bush from 2001-2005, there was

only so far Kerry could go and keep the mantle of statesman, which is another part of people trusting you as president - and mislead and incompetence was appropriate for that.

The Dem PARTY SPOKESPEOPLE should have been on the harsher rhetoric duty as that is part of their job. Kerry's was to win the debates.

After the Downing Street Memos came out in May 2005, however, I do believe every Democrat had every right to nail Bush publically as a liar.
