Finally... Kerry and Edwards drop the "Dishonest" Bomb!!! Man, am I feeling better about things after reading this!

Fantastic interview, and a great format for Kerry and Edwards to come out swinging against the administration, and to take control of the "values" argument.

Some highlights; but please be sure to read the whole thing! They mention the anger and frustration so many of us feel, and they address "Fahrenheit 9/11" as well as the recent, "scandalous" fundraiser.

President Bush has governed the nation in dishonest fashion, trampling American values on every single issue except fighting terrorism and leaving voters "clamoring for restoration of credibility and trust in the White House again," John F. Kerry and John Edwards told The Washington Post.

"The value of truth is one of the most central values in America and this administration has violated" it, Kerry said in an interview aboard his campaign plane on Friday. "Their values system is distorted and not based on truth."

In one of a series of interviews with reporters since teaming up on Tuesday, Kerry and Edwards predicted they would win the political fight over which party best exemplifies the values and ethics of most Americans, but Kerry said they would wage that battle on their own terms and not what he called the GOP's "little hot-button, cultural, wedge-driven, poll-driven values" issues.

Don't get suckered into the how-many-years-you've-been-in-one-job" debate, said Kerry. "You've got people in who have been in one job 30 years of what you call experience and they have done nothing, they don't stand for anything and they don't know how to fight."

The measure of a leader, he said, is a "person's character, a person's values, a person's abilities and political skills and ability to work with other people and bring people to a cause." Kerry called this the "character of toughness."

5. Me too, me too!

It's encouraging to see this, so early. They've vowed to forgo negative ads, but they're not going to go soft on Bush/Cheney. That's apparent, and they're making it personal.

I love it!

7. Yes! Sounds like they're taking advice from Harry Truman -

Harry Truman said:

"Carry the battle to them.
Don't let them bring it to you.
Put them on the defensive.
And don't ever apologize for anything."

8. Perfect time to interject a Truman quote, SharonAnn!!

Give 'em Hell, John and John!!!

11. I think Trumans quote was

"I don't give them Hell, I tell the truth and they think it's Hell".
