Kerry returned to the political wars Tuesday, firing a preemptive shot at next week's Republican National Convention here with a warning that four days of "slogans and personal attacks" cannot cover up a four-year record of economic failure.
Speaking to a supportive audience at a campus a few blocks south of Madison Square Garden, where the GOP will renominate President Bush, the Democratic challenger argued that Republicans are responsible for "four years of lost jobs, lower wages, higher health care costs and tax cuts for the few . . . . At every step of the way, George W. Bush has put the narrow interests of the few ahead of the interests of most Americans."
