Wow. Kerry's Speech Was Awesome

I am a Clark guy, but I must admit....the Kerry speech (that just concluded) was absolutely brilliant.

11. Lehane needs to STFU!

Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 11:34 PM by dygger

Going negative on Kerry while he's delivering his speech (MSNBC) was lame and stoopid. This Clark supporter says SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!

23. I've always suspected Lehane of being a GOP operative.

I thought it in 2000. I thought it when he was with Kerry. I still think so. Don't trust him Clark camp.

3. You can say that again.

I am so proud today of Kerry and my fellow supporters who did so much to make that happen.

4. Of course, Wolf had to cut in

with inane commentary. What a putz.

Congratulations to Kerry and Edwards supporters!

9. I kept whooping and hollering...

...until my wife started yelling at me to shut up. What a fantastic speech. No waffling, no BS and he got right in Bush's face.

Hey, Cleland's on stage with Kerry! Great! Future Secretary of Defense, I hope.

10. This is cliched, I know...

But he looked soooooo PRESIDENTIAL! This is the Kerry we all know and love. He, again, showed his command of the issues and problems facing this nation and how he will respond.

The speech was truly inspirational. It was a message of hope and of unity for America.

Comeback Kid, indeed.

12. To me, he's always been the dullest Dem speaker...

he never fails to lose my attention. Sorry, I don't mean to bash, but it's how I've always felt. He's just too uninspiring a speaker for me. His voice is muddy and drones. Dean, Clark, Edwards, Kucinich, Braun, and Sharpton are all much livelier speakers to my ear.

14. That's the best he's looked all campaign

He handles victory exceptionally well.

And before I get bashed, Kerry is my fourth choice at best. I'm hardly a fan of his. But he gave a great speech.

16. Kerry's always been #1 in susbstance...

but lacking in the excitment. Would that tarnish a national run to really motivate new voters and current Dems to come out and vote. I sure hope if he gets the nomination.

20. Great speech

Ripped Bushie a new orifice.

If it came down to it, I'd vote for him. No nose-holding required.

It was pretty dang good and he got some of my favorites in. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! He's awesome, he really is! I have complete confidence in his ability to kick the tar out of shrub AND put in a Democratic agenda that will work for everyone of us!
