SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Fighting back, Democratic Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) called President Bush (news - web sites) "unfit to lead this nation" because of the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and his record on jobs, health care and energy prices. He lashed out Thursday at Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) for avoiding service in the Vietnam War.
I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and by those who have misled the nation into Iraq," Kerry said in prepared remarks issued as the Republican was poised to accept his party's nomination for a second term.
Cheney and Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), D-Ga., led a chorus of Republicans who challenged Kerry's credentials to be commander in chief, arguing that although they respect his decorated Vietnam War service, his 20-year voting record in the Senate on national security issues made him unfit for the nation's top job.
Kerry answered his critics with a blistering statement....for the past week.....
Thanks!
