(2004-09-17) -- John Forbes Kerry, the Democrat presidential candidate, today denied allegations by President George Bush that Mr. Kerry has a plan for a "huge" government-controlled health care system.

"George W. Bush can only wish that I had a plan so he could have something to attack," said Mr. Kerry, who is also a U.S. Senator. "But if I had a health care plan, don't you think I would have introduced it during my 19 years in the Senate? After all, the legislative branch is where legislation starts, not the executive. I could have written a health care bill, rallied support among my senate colleagues and used my ample leadership skills to push it through with a veto-proof majority."

Mr. Kerry acknowledged that he does "have a plan to blame Mr. Bush for the shortcomings of America's health care system. And I also have a plan to talk about having a plan. But to accuse me of actually having a health care plan that I plan to put in place during my presidency is cynical at best."

or a direction; or a military record; or a brain; or a clue; or a scrotum; or been President...

No article references needed.  It's all part of the public record.

I don't remember where it says it's the federal government's responsibility to provide healthcare.  That's why you are supposed to be as highly skilled/ better educated so that you can provide for those things yourself, not uncle sugar to wipe your ass when you get too old to do it for you.

it's Teresa Heinz Kerry.

I can just see her switching parties and trying to snuggle up to Rudy Giuliani.  

Rudy, just say no!
