3. Yes he is!
The Repub villains will have a hard time making this out to be a boring speech.
Now he's even taking back 9/11! Good for him!

20. I've got the biggest fucking tears in my eyes....
and the damn things refuse to spill.

This is EXACTLY what I knew would happen. I envisioned this since Jan 2001. He had ALL the ingredients and resume to MAKE this speech to take back this country from the fascists.

34. you were right from the start in the face of incredible nastiness
I think I'm going to eat a big plate of crow for making the occasional s&b joke last year, then work harder to get this guy in office.

22. You were right.
We were always on the same side though even as we differed on how to get where we wanted to go.

Kerry was the best choice. Some people just had to get to know him.

8. I don't care what Tweety and Fineman say later...
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 09:31 PM by thebigidea
he's got me eating out of the palm of his hand.

for the first time, I'm voting FOR Kerry instead of against Bush.

And if he can do that to a raving cynic like me, I'm thinking lots of other people are perking up their ears and paying attention as well.

edit: and he mentioned bringing the troops home. HOME FUCKING RUN.

10. But dude...
pause once in awhile and let the people cheer your words! He's the anti-Dubya, and he doesn't need to stop and wait for approval before forging ahead.

31. He is just himself. And that self is incredibly impressive.
I feel safe in this man's hands. That's really what it comes down to. I congratulate the campaign, the DNC, and Kerry himself for a very successful convention.

32. AND he's going to be finished on time to please the networks.

He says Medicare will negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs and people will be able to buy prescription drugs from Canada, etc.

That's HUGE for older people and those of us with disabilities who have high bills for our meds.



HEALTH CARE IS A RIGHT FOR ALL AMERICANS, AND WE WILL MAKE IT SO.


HUGE NEWS!!!

35. Well that is free market competition
IF we will let foreign workers compete with American workers..why not let other nations compete with the businesses looting us while our jobs are shipped away?

38. No Way can Bush top Kerry's speech...
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 09:57 PM by Tellurian
You'll see Bush laying all over the podium, begging, pleading for Americans to keep him in OUR House!

Bush is too infirm to stand on his own two feet! And he sure as Hell doesn't need to waste another moment to take up space in our White House when there is a man more qualified standing in the wings to get the job done right!

I heard him speak in Minneapolis in June, and he wasn't this inspiring.

Now if he can just keep the fires lit till November...
