Dana Reeves was just amazing
I'm actually in tears from her introduction to John Kerry. John was visibly moved by it. It will get lots of play. Kerry is demonstrating that he is warm and caring person.

8. Ohio
She pointed out that her husband died 11 days ago. She would rather be at home with her friends and family. BUT this is just too important. John Kerry is like Chris in that he believes hope is important. John Kerry believes in doing what he can to help people.

16. Bush lying about "gov'ment run health care" in other countries..here's why
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 01:16 PM by glarius
Our health care in Canada, is paid for by the government after the doctors and hospitals send in their bills! The government has NOTHING TO DO with running it...All this bull shit he keeps repeating about government choosing your doctor for you is another lie....We choose our own doctors and change them at will....We have access to all treatments and specialists....This smirking man is so disgusting....:puke:

4. I had the same reaction -
She was awesome. I hope it gets airplay. Kerry was also awesome. Unfortunately CNN just switched to the idiot in chief lying about Kerry's health plan.

7. Her strength and passion are amazing.
Of course now all the cable news are showing the Chimp stumbling through a speech attacking your next President, eliciting boos from the crowd when Kerry's name is mentioned.

What an ass.

9. I was almost in tears too
She is such a brave and strong woman. My heart goes out to her. Kerry seemed so touched and moved by her introduction. Of course the media will never play clips of that moment because they want everyone to believe that Kerry is this cold and unapproachable person which is clearly NOT true!

15. I think it will get play
Most likely on the news, but almost certainly on ET, Access Hollywood etc. Lots of people who don't watch the evening news watch these types of shows. They also tend to vote more on gut rather than informed opinion.

12. It doesn't come off well right after Dana and Kerry
Tax breaks for the rich and people chanting 4 more years seems a bit hollow after the real emotion we just saw. Oh, and lets blast the lawyers.

11. Yup, and CNN just inadvertantly made a very strong contrast between
Kerry and Bush...

After that beautiful message of hope and love, they immediately switched over to Bush, where when they cut in the audience was going "BOOOOOOO!!!" Then, Bush went on to criticize Kerry for about 10 minutes. Just nothing but negativity, and not only that, it was canned stuff, too, that everyone has heard before. The sincerity and the obvious manner that Kerry was touched by Dana Reeve was just another contrast to the lecturing meanness of Bush's speech.

19. Watch the Freepers turn this into Wellstone II
"Poor Dana Reeves, deranged by her grief, is cynically and cruelly exploited by crazed left-wing monster John Kerry to turn up at what was supposed to be a memorial to her late husband but was perverted into a Hitler-style anti-American anti-Bush hatefest." Or some such similar shit.

21. I cried with you. She is amazing. The freepers will have a
problem discrediting her because she indicated, and Kerry said, that she contacted the campaign. They won't be able to spin that she is being exploited as she made it clear it was her idea.

She also legitimized her presence in Ohio by referring to the treatment(s) Chris received in Ohio and she mentioned several facilities and research projects in Ohio that she and Chris support.

The Fox reporter (might have been a local) gave an excellent report and mentioned that she contacted Kerry and not the other way around.

23. Give that lady some role in the administration - a commanding presence
of heart, mind, and body. Wow. Create some sub-cabinet position for her to administrate the advancement of stem cell research and accelerate progress into the stratosphere. What better way to honor Christopher Reeve?

25. I guarantee President Kerry will introduce a
Christopher Reeve bill.

Dana Reeve was very eloquent. I know she will take up the fight.
