In this post, we hear Kerry say:<\/p>\n

The Vice President called me unfit for office last night. Well, I\u2019\u00c4\u00f4ll leave it up to the voters to decide whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty. <\/p>\n

Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty. Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without healthcare makes you unfit to lead this nation.
