SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Sen. John F. Kerry told state legislators Friday the Democratic Party doesn't need to undergo an extreme makeover, saying "the last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."
After blistering Republicans on everything from Iraq to health care, Kerry said Democrats have an opportunity to rebuild nationally by simply addressing the concerns that affect people's daily lives -- energy, transportation, health care and security.
"We have to go out and fight for the real issues that make a difference in the lives of the American people and we don't need some great lurch to the right or lurch to the left or redefinition of the Democratic Party," the Massachusetts Democrat said. "The last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."
Kerry spoke to 750 Democratic state legislators who were attending the National Conference of State Legislatures. He announced plans to campaign and raise money for Democratic legislative candidates across America.
His ill-fated 2004 presidential campaign was still clearly on Kerry's mind, with an analysis and a broadside against President Bush and congressional Republicans taking up the lion's share of his 35-minute speech to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee's luncheon.

Kerry told his audience that while Republicans dither and practice politics of "nastiness and partisanship," Democratic legislators are showing the right stuff, connecting with people on their front porches and then going to the capitals to fix their problems.
"The states are now the laboratories, much more than before, because of the refusal of Washington to do what's important and necessary. You're forced to spend too much time cleaning up what Washington either messes up or leaves undone altogether."

"Fredo" Kerry, and the
'Look at your Feet Marathon Men' Party....
Keep it up, Johnny. It's the best thing you can do for our side.
Apparently, he doesn't know what we say and think about him. And he apparently never listens to the Laura Ingraham show.
He's a dopey swine...
I reckon the veterans might have have given him a bit of that back last November!

Like a lot of things about him, I wonder if those are even real--they look like white Chicklet gum instead of teeth to me. Giant horse teeth in a horse face. And "America doesn't need a second Kerry run for the presidency!"
We don't need two Communist parties either, Lurch.
No, he included it. In the Dem world, ripping a small child's limbs off is "health care."
We had so much fun last time! And bring the little lady, too!
