Kerry blasts Republicans as 'liars' Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry sharpened the tone of an already bitter battle with President George W Bush, branding his Republican opponents a "crooked, lying group". His remarks followed a week of intense exchanges between the camps, including another veiled attack by Bush railing against those who would "build a wall" around the United States on the trade front. Kerry, who moved close to formally sewing up the Democratic nomination with victories in four more party contests, visited a sheet metal factory to press his assault on Bush's economic policies. When one of the workers urged him to keep smiling Kerry responded: "Don't worry, man. We're going to keep pounding. Let me tell you. We are just beginning to fight here. "These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I have ever seen. It's scary," Kerry said. Kerry's spokesman David Wade later said the comments targeted the "Republican attack machine" and not Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney directly. Bush and the Republicans have come out swinging in the race for the November 2 election, portraying Kerry as weak and unable to steer the country through troubled times following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. theage.com.au
