I guess its a start

Love you, Reuters:

Democratic White House challenger John Kerry accused President Bush on Wednesday of being more interested in election-year photo opportunities than providing funds to defend against another Sept. 11-type attack.

"We deserve a president of the United States who doesn't make homeland security a photo opportunity and the rhetoric of a campaign," Kerry told a rainy-day rally of a couple thousand people in the port of Seattle.

The only thing that confuses me is this would be John Kerrry using homeland security as a photo opporunity. But I guess anytime you speak, you fall prey to that attack. This is a little better:
"We deserve a president who makes America safer," Kerry declared, drawing sustained applause and cheers.

"We should not be opening firehouses in Baghdad and shutting them in the United States of America," Kerry said.

He complained that Bush, who has repeatedly cut taxes to the delight of fellow conservatives, had failed to provide states and localities the money they needed to do their job.

"We deserve a president who puts American taxpayer dollars where the need is, not just where the ideology wants it to go," Kerry said.

There IS some fight in this dog. Hopefully he can bear his teeth a little more often.
