John Kerry makes triumphant return to Iowa

[JI7]

""I want to thank you for beginning here in Iowa the road to the end of the Bush administration," Kerry told a crowd of around 2,000 who came to his campaign rally at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines.

Kerry said he'd learned from listening on the campaign trail to Iowans' stories of anxiety, whether it was seniors on Social Security struggling to pay for prescription drugs or those who had trouble finding work and health insurance after losing their jobs.

Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, also pledged to improve services for veterans, a group he courted during the caucus campaign and many believed was key to his Iowa win.

He said the Bush administration has cut $1.8 billion from the Department of Veterans Affairs, leaving thousands of veterans to wait for health care or prescription drugs.

"I think our value system in the United States of America says the first definition of patriotism is remembering and keeping faith with those who wore the uniform of our country," Kerry said."

1. Crowd estimates

The media has been doing a grand job of covering up the number of people who turned out to see Kerry. Some have gone so low as 1,000. I would estimate that there were between 4,000-5,000 people. Why can't the media people just tell the truth about how many people are at an event?

2. fox whores said the prochoice march had over 100 thousand

while it's true it was over a 100 thousand. there were at least half a million there for sure. and for wanting to reports facts as much as possible do not say over 100 thousand when it's a fact that it was at least half a million.

3. Because the corporate masters of the media pay them to lie.
