Kerry on now live....excellent!

[sfecap]

This man will be our next President.

He is hitting back hard, and he's lucid, intelligent, presidential, and clear.

His message WILL be heard.

He is kicking ass right now.

Go, John Kerry!!!!

[blueknight]

1. its nice to listen

to someome who can actually complete a sentence

[johnfunk]

2. Iraq, jobs, health care! BIFF! BAM!! POW!!!

... AND he fired back at the proto-FReeper disruptors, trumping them in measured and thoughtful words.

[Slit Skirt]

3. I agree

this is a well done speech...and his timing is very very good.

[xyboymil]

13. Welcome to DU. Hope you brought a map.

Jimbo's been struggling with his little bots lately.

Tsk, Tsk. Training, JR, training.

[Atman]

20. Bwhahaha! Sure Karl!

Be sure to use another IP address for your next attempt, Mr. Rove.

22. Welcome to DU, mercury 19.

[dennis4868]

27. I agree with you there....

I am so sick of Bush changes his speech depending who he is talking too....really makes me mad also....welcome aboard.....great post!

[Cha]

29. Kerry Is very Intelligent! Unlike that

freakin' bozo that is occuppying the white house now..who can't string two sentences together without unca Karl.

[DancingBear]

31. This handle of yours - "mercury19"

Does this mean you began ingesting mercury at age 19?

If so, it explains many things...

[KharmaTrain]

8. The Right/Wrong...The RIGHT Message

Let the media harp on this meme...the more they do, the more the message burns in.

Kerry's hitting a lot of homers right now. This is an extremely receptive audience as well.

Also: note, if he's using a teleprompter he sure doesn't look it. This sounds like this is right from inside...not from a speechwriter. He's driving his own ship right now and this is great!

Good days are ahead, my friends. Hope is on the way!!!

[TheDonkey]

12. Where is he giving this speech at?

and why is it being covered live? Is this a big thing.

[MoonRiver]

14. On CNN and MSNBC

[KharmaTrain]

21. Cincinnatti...CNNservative & MSNBC had it

I suspect C-SPAN should replay it later. Also, ABC World News Now...their new cable news channel will replay it sometime tonight as well.

It was loaded with lots of good soundbites. Hard hitting. The crowd was right with him.

Get him in some real large rallies with this message and watch some true campaign magic start to happen.

[Norbert]

42. He is giving it at Union Terminal in Cincinnati

This is where shrub gave his imfamous Oct. 2002 speech about needing to go to war with Iraq. Payback time. Glad he seems to be taking it to 'em. Olny wish I could have seen it.

Only hope it helps Ohios numbers. Ohio needs a wake-up call badly right now.

[emulatorloo]

15. Plus, there are plenty of SOUND BYTES in this speech

very focused for newscast snippits.

i.e. Homeland Security should be a priority, not a political slogan.

[TheDonkey]

9. soft bigotry of low expectations, JK just took that terrible saying and

bashed bush with it

[Lancer]

16. Yes,

"President Bush has consistently set low expectations and met them."—John Kerry

(and there was much rejoicing)

[sfecap]

17. "George Bush has met those low expectations..."

Most excellent!

You go John!!!

[Touchdown]

18. I can't believe CNN is still showing it.

...going on 25 minutes now.:wow:

[TheDonkey]

25. i checked to see if FOX was showing it and they were!!!

i almost fell out of my chair.

[henslee]

19. Ditto. Not only is speech totally smokin' but the CNN news ticker is

quoting Carter's attack on Zell and Edwards' attack on Cheney's fear-mongering remarks, calling them un-American. JK looks great, sounds great, he's smiling. Great speech.

[katmondoo]

24. JK Speech

Brought me to tears. So Good!

[Demi_Babe]

32. way to go Kerry

GREAT speech!!! :yourock:

[Cha]

26. This is so wonderful to see!

A milestone in History!

[G_j]

23. stay this course John!

way to go!
:thumbsup:

[cthrumatrix]

28. he hit all the huge areas.... an offensive day!

[dennis4868]

30. Question about Kerry strategy.....

Why is it that Kerry no longer says that we had inspectors on the ground in Iraq and therefore there was no reason to rush to war....I keep hearing him talking about a coalition and that Bush should have gotten one before invading....that is not the issue...the issue is and was that we did not have to rush to war because the inespectors were doing a freat job!

I am getting sick of Kerry backing off this line of attack....

[mourningdove92]

33. Damn, is anything good enough? Kerry just opened a big

can of whoop ass and you are complaining?

By the way, he HAS talked about the inspections. Or lack thereof, and not letting them finish.

[dennis4868]

35. he HAS talked about the inspections

he has...but not in a very long time....he has backed away from that and instead says that we rushed to war without a coalition....he should be saying why in the hel did we rush to war without a plan to win the peace when we had successfull inspection teams on the ground in Iraq? That is what he should be saying...perhaps he does not want to be perceived as against the war? Who knows anymore....

[G_j]

34. he did say

that the inspectors should have been allowed to finish their job.
Maybe you missed it.

[dennis4868]

36. If he said that today.....

then GREAT and I stand corrected....thanks.

[G_j]

40. when he said he would have done "everything different"

in regards to Iraq, that was the first thing he mentioned.

I was VERY glad to hear that.

[dennis4868]

41. sure....

I heard that also....but he no longer comes otu and says that we rushed to war because we had inspection teams in Iraq doing their job and doing it very well and getting cooperation from Saddam beliebve it or not...

[Guaranteed]

37. It doesn't even matter.

That's not the heart of the issue. It's just extra words and it doesn't win people over to talk about the UN.

[dennis4868]

39. perhaps.....

I wish to god that this election was about Bush and Cheney's lies leading up to the war in Iraq.....now it has become a back burner issue and the only issue is that we rushed to war without a coalition....my point is that even if we had a coalition there was no reason for war because it is all basedn on lies.....I would give up my right arm if Kerry would say that....Bush is getting away with his lies once again...no dem and of course the media wil hold him accountable for the lies leading up to thr war in Iraq!

[Guaranteed]

43. Right...well if we really wanted to go that

route we'd just pound away at Saddam having nothing to do with 9/11, and the fact that even if he HAD WMD he still wouldn't have been a threat because we knew where he lived- BIG kaboom. The only problem with that is Kerry's IWR vote.

I dunno...the inspectors thing...I understand what you're saying, but if Saddam really had the WMD, and if that would actually make him a threat, the inspectors really weren't helping much.

[dennis4868]

44. AS KERRY HAS SAID MANY TIMES....

he voted for the IWR to put pressure on Saddam to aloow inspectors in there....the inspections were working and most intelligence agencies believed they were as well....plus, Saddam was only a threat if he had a nuclear weapons and nobody in the world believed he had one....not even the CIA, DOE, INR, AIAEA, etc...the fact that Saddam may have had biological and/or chemical weapons did not make him a threat to the United States...no way...plus the NIE which Cheney hyped said that even if Saddam has WMD he had no plans in us9injg it against the USA or giving it to a terrorist group unless he was provoked by the USA...EVERY INTELLIGENCE AGANECY IN THE WORLD SAID THAT HE WAS NO THREAT, INCLUDING the CIA!

[sandnsea]

45. He just said it

He said he would have let the inspections continue in this speech. And building a coalition is part of creating the strong pressure for Saddam to fully and permanently comply so we wouldn't have to disarm militarily, if it had been necessary. It all goes together.

[sandnsea]

46. Too funny

Same damn speech he's been giving for 6 months. But I guess if people want to think it's kick-ass and tough-talking, whatever works.
