Kerry rightly points out:
"Let me tell you in no uncertain terms what makes someone unfit for office and unfit for duty," Mr. Kerry said, turning to Mr. Bush. "Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead our country. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this country. Letting 45 million Americans go without health care for four years makes you unfit to lead this country.
"Letting the Saudi royal family control the price of oil for Americans makes you unfit to lead this country. Handing out billions of dollars in government contracts without a bid to Halliburton while you're still on the payroll makes you unfit lead this country.
"That, my friends, is the record of George Bush and Dick Cheney - and that only begins to scratch the surface."
It does only begin to scratch the surface, but we know about soundbites.
But really amusing was the Bush junta's response to this uncomfortable look at the truth:
A Bush campaign spokesman, Steve Schmidt, called the remarks "another example of John Kerry's trying to divide America over the past."
It's called a record, dummy, Bush has one, and America isn't divided over the fact that we're less safe, less free, and less well off than 4 years ago.
To extend Kerry's point about Bush who was saying he had a new plan when the old one was a disaster, and expecting people to vote for him is expecting that peple have the classic 12 step group example of insanity- making the same mistake twice hoping it will come out differently.
