NEW YORK (AP) - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards fought back Thursday after a torrent of Republican criticism of John Kerry, saying GOP convention speakers used angry rhetoric to attack his running mate but ignored key issues like jobs and health care.
Edwards made the rounds of morning talk shows to respond to blistering attacks leveled against Kerry by Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., who said the Democratic candidate waffles on important issues, particularly national defense.
On ABC's "Good Morning America," Edwards said the attacks were "completely over the top" and made him mad.
About claims that Kerry's record on defense issues is weak, he said, "It's just false, it's not true."
