Kerry talks to Fiscal Conservatives in Wisconsin

[nomorelies]

Kerry said Bush is opposing an effort to extend the Milk Income Loss Contract that helps dairy farmers when milk prices drop and is set to expire in October 2005. He said the Bush administration would wait until after the election to act so voters in swing dairy states wouldn't turn against him.

Kerry said if he is elected president, he will make sure the program is extended.

Kerry said he would fill milk bottles at his uncle's dairy farm as a young boy.

"I have a great sense of the land," Kerry said. "I really do. I'm tired of small family farmers getting squeezed."

The town hall meeting at Spring Green Junior High School is Kerry's only scheduled public event during four days of debate preparations at the House on the Rock Resort. The resort gives Kerry plenty of seclusion to get ready for his first face-off with Bush and also a chance to boost his profile in a state where Bush holds a slight advantage in recent polls and that Democrat Al Gore won by just 6,000 votes in 2000.

Since then, Kerry said, Bush has created only 200 jobs in a state that has lost 67,000 manufacturing jobs on his watch.

"Are you telling me seriously that people in Wisconsin are going to return to the presidency a man who promised jobs and lost them?" Kerry asked. "I think the good commonsense, fiscally responsible, conservative citizens of Wisconsin know that it's our responsibility to pay our bills and not dump them on our kids and on future generations."

Kerry told the town hall that voters shouldn't be wary of changing horses midstream when the horse is drowning. Kerry also poked fun at reports that the Bush campaign insisted that the debate podiums be set relatively far apart so Kerry's five-inch height advantage won't be so apparent.

"May I also suggest that we need a taller horse?" he said. "You can get through deeper waters that way."

And there are no farms in Massachusetts.  Especially not family farms.

But moved to Massachusetts shortly after his birth(in his bio on his campaign site).  His uncle might have had a dairy farm though, so I guess it depends on how much time he really spent there.
