Kerry hits back at GOP 'insults,' says Bush unfit to serve

(09-03) 08:24 PDT NEWARK, Ohio (AP) --

Democrat John Kerry criticized new unemployment figures Friday that showed a slight dip in the jobless rate and fewer jobs created than expected as another example of what he says is President Bush's "record of failure."

The Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate slipped to 5.4 percent last month, from 5.5 percent in July, with the economy adding 144,000 jobs.

"This number should not come as any surprise given that this is an administration that says outsourcing is a good thing," Kerry said in a statement while campaigning here.

"If you believe lost jobs mean that America is heading in the right direction, you should support George Bush and his policies of failure. But if you believe America needs to move in a new direction, join with us," he said. "I will set a new course with an economic plan that will create jobs and put middle-class families first."

Earlier, Kerry accused the Republicans of hiding Bush's "record of failure" behind insults.

1. I heard the word 'failure' more at the Springfield rally, last night,
than I've heard it since Gephardt and the Google bomb on 'miserable failure.' Both Kerry and Edwards, as well as the Ohio candidates who spoke, used it a lot. Not just as a random ad hominem attack, but attached to statistics and outcomes. I don't know how this will ultimately pan out, but I think it's good. People understand failure, and it requires no nuance to get it across. There are plenty of failures for them to detail.

Doesn't make sense... link to his resume instead or at least something damaging...

7. Keep sayin' it, John
The media aren't going to report it until you've said it at least five times. Then they're going to wonder what you're talking about for the next 10 times. They might finally get around to reporting the facts when they've been hit over the head with it 20 times.

Kerry IS fighting back. The librul media can't seem to find any column inches or air time to report that.
