McALLEN, Texas - The wife of presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) told a receptive audience in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas that Kerry would seek out all other options before going to war.
"John will never send a boy or girl in a uniform anywhere in the world because of our need and greed for oil," Teresa Heinz Kerry told about 1,200 supporters at the McAllen Civic Center.
She said her husband, as president, would be able to approach the families of slain soldiers and say, "'I did everything I could to prevent this, I'm sorry.' "
She spoke for about an hour and was interrupted frequently by applause and cheering, The (McAllen) Monitor reported in its Monday editions.
Earlier, Heinz Kerry attended a $1,000-a-head private fund-raiser at the McAllen home of developer Alonzo Cantu. It was not immediately clear how much the event raised.
Speaking at the rally, Heinz Kerry criticized President Bush (news - web sites)'s working relationships with other nations.
"Diplomacy is not about, `I'm telling you.' Diplomacy is about, `what do you think?'" Heinz Kerry said. "If you cannot have respect for the other side, you cannot have diplomacy."
Heinz Kerry, switching to Spanish, encouraged supporters to go to the polls.
Hidalgo County, where Heinz Kerry spoke, is one of the most Democratic in Bush's home state. Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) took 61 percent of the vote in the county in 2000, to Bush's 38 percent.
Last month, Heinz Kerry attended a private fund-raiser in San Antonio and spoke to campaign volunteers. In July, a San Antonio event for Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) raised a record $600,000.
Bush campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Miller said Sunday that the Democratic nominee is out of step with Texas.
"John Kerry's 20-year out-of-the-mainstream record does not represent the values of Texans nor does his plan to raise taxes and his lack of a plan to win the war on terror," Miller said.
I saw that same interview. SHe is probably.........make that undoutedly, still on Prozac. It would explain her fantasy world. Let's not bring that up though, it might bring out all the prozac kings and queens, and that will be the next battle. Discrimination of the mentally ill.
Looks like Kerry has a game of pocket pool going on there in that first picture.
I saw the beginning of this on FOX. It looked like Jesse was trying to get in the prayer circle before just putting his hand on top. I don't know if it was Sharpton or Kerry who wouldn't release hands, but one of them wouldn't make room for J.J. It was quite amusing.
But the Three Stooges were funny, hardworking guys who weren't political pimps.
I would be cautious too if I were married to her. Read what she said about her first husband in an interview in Elle Magazine.
Ms Heinz-Kerry, widow of Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz, who was killed in a 1991 air crash, is known for her outspoken views. She once told Elle magazine she warned her first husband on the subject of adultery: "If you ever get something, I'll maim you. I won't kill you. I'll maim you."
Teresa, John married you. How cautious can he possibly be?
It was kind of a joke.
I just shudder to think what these three "stooges" for the left are plotting! Do you suppose they are trying to work out who is going to be Secretary of Duplicity?
Ditto!!! GW has GOT to win or we are toast!
"If John loses, I will chop of his wiener."
Sounds just like the technique Kennedy, Daschle, and Schumer are famous for. /sarcasm
At her age, a 40 year old is a boy and girl to that old hag. She just needs to shut her surgically altered mouth.
You self rightous, condensending bitch! Hope this statement gets out to the unwashed masses.
Bush: We honor the service and the sacrifice of your loved one. All Americans thank them for fighting for the cause of freedom and liberty. We owe you a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid and will never forget what they did to protect our country.
Kerry (according to his hag wife): I'm sorry.
Unfrickinbelievable.
It will!!Freepers will see that it does!
Can you imagine this being your First Lady? What a witch.
I think this was General McClellan's platform in the 1864 election. And gradual escalation certainly worked in Viet Nam, didn't it? Some things with some parties never seem to change.
