'I've been in worse situations.' TIME talks with John Kerry about the upcoming election By KAREN TUMULTY Monday, September 13, 2004 Posted: 1:17 PM EDT (1717 GMT) In his first wide-ranging interview with a national news organization in more than a month, John Kerry sat down with TIME's national political correspondent Karen Tumulty last week as his campaign plane flew between a health-care forum in St. Louis, Mo., and a rally in Allentown, Pa. With a guitar case resting nearby and his daughter Alexandra, 31, popping in at one point, the challenger appeared very focused as he reflected on what lies ahead in the final seven weeks of the campaign and, if he manages to pull off a come-from-behind victory, the four years after that. TIME: This past month has been pretty brutal for you, between the Swift Boat ads, the Republican Convention and the Vice President saying if you get elected, it would invite another terrorist attack. Have you come to any new conclusions about whom you're running against and what you have to do to win? KERRY: I think the President's unwillingness to walk away from those comments makes it clear that he and the Vice President will say anything and do anything to get elected and to hold on to power. It was a shameful and outrageous effort. But you know, I've been in worse situations in my life. The attacks don't attack me as much as they attack Americans and America. They're trying to distract people from the real issues that matter. America is not as safe as we ought to be after 9/11. We can do a better job at homeland security. I can fight a more effective war on terror. The standard of living for the average American has gone down. People's incomes have dropped. Five million Americans have lost their health insurance. The deficit is the largest it's been in the history of this country. They're taking money from Social Security and transferring it to the wealthiest people in America to drive us into debt. They're shredding alliances around the world with people we have traditionally been able to rely on. That's what bothers me. Continued............ cnn.com

".. it's hard to soundbite the neocon thing. " Unfortunately that is the case. If you can't soundbite it, then you run the risk of "trying to make the issue complicated when it is simple". The Democrats have fallen into that trap all too many times.

John, Re: "Still I would like to see the bastards that have hijacked the Republican party and our government get their commupance." No one has "hijacked" the government ... The Republicans won the 2000 election. You might be want to ask that question about the "liberals" hijacking the Democratic Party ... Please refer to Zell Miller's speech if you have any questions. TIA. Make It So, Yousef
