Kerry Says His 'Family' Owns SUV, Not He

Friday April 23, 2004 12:46 AM


PITTSBURGH (AP) - Does John Kerry, who supports higher automobile fuel economy standards, own a gas-guzzling SUV? He does, but says it belongs to the family, not to him.

During a conference call Thursday with reporters to discuss his upcoming jobs tour through West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, the Democratic presidential candidate was asked whether he owned a Chevrolet Suburban.

``I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.

Kerry also has made rising gasoline prices an issue in the campaign against President Bush. In Houston on Thursday, Kerry said the president broke a 2000 campaign pledge to ``jawbone'' oil-producing nations by pressuring them to increase their output.

Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.

``The family has it. I don't have it,'' he said.

Kerry said it's important for his family to buy American cars and pledged to keep car manufacturing jobs in the country if elected. He said he is interested in a hybrid car, and has talked to Ford about making it the ``campaign car.''

``We're going to keep jobs in America and help the industry be more competitive with foreign manufacturers that are building those cars today,'' Kerry said.

The Massachusetts senator said he'll release more details during the jobs tour about his plans to keep jobs in the country.

``I want cars to be made in Michigan, made in America, made'' by the United Auto Workers, Kerry said.


__Your running for President of the US...You stand up for more fuel efficient cars...your wife owns an SUV...

If your looking to change the country, maybe you should start in your own house, Mr. Kerry.

John "Do as I say, not as I do" Kerry.

I don't think Bush has been on both sides of this ;)  It's getting to be that every time Kerry opens his mouth he makes a hypocrite of himself.  Sad that this is the best the Dems could do.

If he was really concerned, he would be driving a diesel SUV and burning biodiesel.

Kerry is obviously placing himself above his family.  How can I support a candidate who doesn't support his family?

Bush sucks.  Who else is running?

If his wife does not take him seriously, why should I?

As the prime breadwinner for his family (at least we think so) then whatever the family owns, he owns.

Therefore, he owns the SUV, and is a damned hypocrite.

The Kerry Family owns an SUV.
The Bush Family owns an SUV.
The Swartzenegger family owns a fleet of Hummers.

Well that was just a stupid remark. He should have just said "hell yes! And I could have bought 20 of the suckers, but I didn't"

You know what, MT...

A straight answer like that would get my vote.

I'm so sick of "Political" answers.

Ever consider a run for office?

Lol, how droll.  It's not that his wife drives an SUV.  It's that he somehow seems to think that since his wife "owns" it, he is somehow not associated w/ it, even though he has driven it and ridden in it.  
  Cmon, are you married?   If your wife drove an SUV and someone asked if you own an SUV would you really say "No, but my wife does" ?  
I'm willing to be you'd say,  "Ya, we own an SUV."

Please, find me a quote from the Bushes or the Schwartzneggers where the head of the household tries to blame the ownership of the gas-guzzler on the 'family'.

Politics is about posturing, to a large extent.

This was a poor bit of posturing.
