...Kerry, who recently said he agrees with the Roman Catholic Church that life begins at conception, said he disagrees with his church's teaching that homosexuality is a sin. Edwards twice did not respond when asked if he, too, believes life begins at conception. ...

FYI
In other words, "Vote for me. I'm NOT George Bush."
That's about as deep as his platform goes.
What I can't believe is that this is a front page top story. What, is Kerry buying that space in the Post?
Why are we supposed to believe that Kerry is the purveyor of truth, when he lied about the Vets during the Viet Nam War? He was a skank then and he's an even bigger skank now.
I agree ... I can't see HOW this is a front page story when there are so MANY other things going on in the world -- GOOD things in Iraq, for instance -- that should be getting front-page coverage.
Oh, well ... par for the course. The Washington Post isn't charging Kerry for this space ... it's included in their campaign contributions to the Kedwards ticket.
This is guy who claimss that he believes life begins at conception but then checks off on murdering the child in the womb.
Frankly, I think he's psychotic!
Is this the hope of the Kerry campaign?
Actually, he is the feminazis ideal man: one who at least claims to hold beliefs but will throw them overboard in an effort to buy votes.
How is he going to restore truth to the Presidency when he is lying his ass off to get the job?
Kerry has a 20 year track record, and Baby John is a personal injury lawyer.
It sounds like Kerry has told the underling to keep his mouth shut. What a pathetic duo
Edwards is a lying piece of work too.

"A Populist Make-Over
Meet John Edwards, the Corporate Man
by Doug Ireland

January 29, 2004
First Published in the LA Weekly
John Edwards has the best smile, the best hair and the most effective populist discourse of all the Democrats who want to be president. His endlessly repeated “Two Americas” stump speech — flaying the haves for fleecing the have-nots — has been carefully honed over months on the campaign trail. It won him second place in Iowa. But it takes more than one speech to give a contender real staying power — as the cash-strapped Edwards discovered when, by an eyelash, he lost the third-place ticket out of New Hampshire to a treasury-rich general with a weightier résumé.
But what’s under the hair and behind the smile? He was born Johnny Reid Edwards in a small mill town, but abandoned this moniker as too Snopes-y when he began the legal career that made him super-rich. He constantly says he’s the “son of a mill worker,” and to hear him tell it, he pulled himself up from poverty so crushing it evokes images of shoeless Li’l Abner. His “Two Americas” rally-pleaser gets much of its power from this poor-boy autobiography, but in making this tale his central campaign theme, Edwards gave his family history a cosmetic make-over, like the one he gave his name.
“The Edwardses were solidly middle class” when Johnny was growing up, according to a four-part profile of the North Carolina senator in his home state’s most prestigious daily, the Raleigh News and Observer. It’s true that for a few years as a young man Edwards’ father worked on the floor of a Roger Milliken textile mill. But Edwards père (a lifelong Republican, like his reactionary boss) quickly climbed upward, becoming a monitor of worker productivity as a “time-study” man — which any labor organizer in the South will tell you is a polite term for a stoolie who spies on the proletarian mill hands to get them to speed up production for the same low wages. Daddy Edwards’ grassing got him promoted to supervisor, then to plant manager — and he finally resigned to start his own business as a consultant to the textile industry. As a Boston Globe profile of Edwards put it last year, the senator never “notes that his father was part of management . . . ‘John was more middle class than most of us,’” says Bill Garner, a high school friend and college roommate."
~continued~...
"Values" must be a focus-tested word for '04.
Kerry believes in "values" and he believes life begins at conception and he believes that a mother has the right to kill her baby as long as the baby has not drawn a breath.
Edwards believes that a baby still in the womb has thoughts and the ability to communicate, and he believes that a mother has the right to decide if that baby lives or not.
Real values from the heartland.
PS: The whole article is on Drudge's home page, so Freepers can go there instead of registering on WaPo to read this item - but be warned, it should have a barf alert for sycophancy. The writers were ON THE BUS with the candidates. OOH, how Special!
said he disagrees with his church's teaching that homosexuality is a sin.
Guess then that stealing, murder, lying and adultery aren't sins either. Wow, a whole new concept on "Taking America Back". Back to the Dark Ages.

Dear Senator Kerry
Dear DNC and Senator Kerry,
I would first of all like to congratulate Senator Kerry on his nomination
and also thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind.
I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president, I worked in a
prosperous enterprise. But in this last year, we had to close our
operations. Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq.
They gave their lives for their country, and for what?
My pain of losing my sons is indescribable. While it is trivial next to the
loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my homes. I simply had
nothing left.
I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I was
homeless, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was
arrested. If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democratic
party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000, I guarantee you, I would still
have a job, a home, and most importantly, my sons!
Regards,
Saddam Hussein

can you spell a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s
Kerry made a huge mistake with that statement; Edwards is trying really hard to avoid it. Will be fun to see how many times and ways it's asked:
"Senator Edwards, do you disagree with John Kerry on.
