Kerry Goes Flip-Floppin' Down the Campaign Trail

WARNING: Due to lack of economic knowledge on the part of the blogger, this post will not be the most intelligent thing you've seen today. Thank you.

John F**kin' Kerry is at it again. Let's take a look:

Kerry Tries to Shift Focus Back to Jobs

CHICAGO — Touring a struggling job-training site, Democrat John Kerry on Friday sought to refocus the presidential race on pocketbook issues, warning of "almost criminal" cuts in bedrock training and education programs.

I didn't realize that there were laws against not throwing money at people.

"I'm tired of talking about valuing families and not valuing families," Kerry said.

"I actually did talk about valuing families before I talked about not valuing families."

...Sorry. That's what I thought of when I read that sentence.

"There are unbelievable, unacceptable, staggering numbers of young lives that are being abandoned in our country."

What are we doing, airlifting them out to the desert?

Kerry held a town hall meeting at a job-training site where officials said their budget and the number of students they can train have been slashed because of cuts.

"This is pretty simple. The workplace of the United States of America is as stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed at any time," Kerry said.

"As stressed as I don't think I've seen it stressed..." What? He's starting to sound like Al Sharpton.

"That's almost criminal. It's not criminal, but I want to underscore how unbelievable it is."

"It can be criminal though, depending on what the next poll shows!"

Kerry accused Bush of slashing $1 billion from job-training programs. "You shouldn't be abandoned and struggling the way you are today," he said.

After a week of turmoil and mounting deaths in Iraq, Kerry was focusing on jobs and the economy in a Midwest battleground state where 142,000 industrial jobs have been lost in the last three years.

"This campaign is about change," he said. "It's about putting Americans back to work and putting America back on the right track."

"Except for those eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil rich people...like me and my wife....uh-oh."

Joined at the town hall meeting by Democratic Senate nominee Barack Obama, Kerry said far more attention needs to be paid to struggling school systems like Chicago's, where more than 30 percent of students don't finish high school and the number is even higher for minorities.

"It's time for us to put real mainstream values back front and center," Kerry said.

He wouldn't be able to identify the "mainstream" if he fell into it.

He accused Bush of "a long history of misleading America" about Kerry's plans for the economy.

"He's telling the truth! You won't like me if you know the truth!"

"Under my economic plan we protect the middle class," said Kerry, rejecting Bush's charge that he would raise taxes as president. "Under my economic plan, we can put Americans back to work."

Did we imagine those 300,000 jobs?

Kerry denied he was a tax-and-spend liberal. "I'm not confiscatorial," he said of his tax plan, which he argued would simply end tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Yeah, because that won't have any effect on the rest of the economy. Those nasty rich people just sit in their mansions all day eating caviar and oppressing the poor, right? They couldn't possibly be spending their money.

Bush, Kerry contended, has largely ignored domestic issues like jobs and the economy.

"Tax cuts? I don't remember any tax cuts!"

"He thinks more about photo opportunities than he does about job opportunities," Kerry said.

"Plastic turkey! Flight suit!"

Illinois is a state that has trended Democratic in recent elections and is one Kerry likely must win in the fall. Obama said there's a solid chance Kerry can lock up the state even before the fall campaign.

"We hope to take Illinois out of play sometime in the summer," Obama said.

Kerry opened his day with a fund-raising breakfast where he brought in another $100,000 for his campaign. He couldn't entirely escape the tumult in Iraq, facing questions from big givers about how he would change course.

This should be good.

"This administration has been gridlocked by its own ideology, it's own arrogance," he said.

The left really needs some new material. Now Kerry's just echoing the moonbat fringe:

"Tax cuts for the rich! Photo-ops! Arrogance! Lies!" What's next, "war for oil?"

"The job of the president of the United States is to minimize the risk to our troops, minimize the cost to the American people and to maximize the prospects for success."

Translation: "Don't send troops into combat, don't spend money on it if you do, and expect to win nonetheless...unless winning makes your opponent look competent."

Kerry said Bush has failed on all those counts.

*GASP* Really? I never expected him to say that!

"This administration has stubbornly refused to involve other countries in the real decision making," he said.

If he says "poodles and lackeys," I'm going to break something.

"I think this has been a failure of diplomacy, a failure of foreign policy."

"I know, because certain foreign leaders, who I can't name at the moment, have told me!"

That drew a quick response from the Bush campaign. "Today, John Kerry had an opportunity to send a clear message that the United States will not be intimidated by a small group of thugs and cut and run from Iraq," Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said. "Instead, he chose to play politics and again refused to offer any details about what he would propose to differently."

Thank you! This is what I've been saying. The left seems to think that "Bush is bad" automatically means "Kerry would be better." Give us some details without the childish name-calling, and maybe we'll take you seriously.

Maybe.

Well, he DID say he intended to be America's second "black" President. Yeah, Brother John's keepin' it real. Real what, I can't say.
