Thank you, Al

1. I agree. We should have kept Al.

But Kerry is doing fine, though. I just really miss Al.

2. Hi Tamara Welcome to DU !

Al totally kicked.I stood up and cheered when Al said "We will ride this donkey as far as it will take us"
I was deeply touched by his speech.I am so glad to see the passion of Al.

11. I did also

started cheering and applauding - My son poked his head around the corner 2 C what all the fuss was about. Al kicked squatter's ass!

4. I'm speechless

I can't believe they're spinning it already... :eyes:

But geez, he was so passionate, so open... talking about where he came from to where he is now

And I laughed a lot too, he has a great sense of humor -- really my favorite speech so far-- I liked THK too...

PS Welcome to DU :hi:

Haven't you noticed? Kerry's putting 'em ALL to work!

Okay, except for Lieberman.

7. Which speech?

Not that it really matters. They're all pretty great. I did get kind of weapy the other night hearing him though. Knowing what I know now from seeing Fahrenheit 9/11, knowing about the CBC, about Bush's limo getting egged when he went to the White House, all of it, I just cried thinking about how much we've lost these last 3 1/2 years.

8. Thank You Mr. President

President Gore did well. I wish he would take his rightful place in DC and kick the war whores to the curb. Kerry should offer Gore a big job. Union 4 Ever

9. He's making me believe again.

I lost a lot of faith in my country these past three years, but people like Obama and Sharpton and their inspiring words make me believe again. Sharpton's finish about Ray Charles singing "America, the Beautiful" touched me deeply. Ray Charles has never seen "purple mountains" or "amber waves of grain" - he's blind. He thinks America is beautiful because he believes America is beautiful.

Lets make America beautiful again.

Thanks Al. :grouphug:
