Defending John Kerry from biting GOP criticism, Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards accused Republicans of using their convention to attack the Massachusetts senator rather than offer ideas for solving the nation's most pressing problems.

The GOP spent "all of their time and all of their energy trying to tear down a patriot," Edwards told a town hall audience Thursday in this Philadelphia suburb.

"The anger we heard from Senator Miller, the anger we heard from the vice president -- anger is not going to change this country and do what needs to be done for America," Edwards said. Where was the "anger and venom" about the millions of Americans who had lost their health insurance or their jobs? he asked.

"It doesn't surprise me that the vice president of the United States spent most of his speech talking about John Kerry because you know he doesn't want to talk about what they've done to this country," the North Carolina senator said.

2. Hey, where did you get your cat animation?

I used to have precisely that cat and he climbed all over my screen, falling off windows, peeking around corners, but when I bought a new computer I lost it.

3. Let's get the word "hate" in there too

Loved his comments and hope they call it for what it is - hate mongering.
