The Dems had better come out swinging enmasse.

2. WTF? Did you hear him?
My 85 year old mother-in-law called me to tell me how strong he came out against Bush. Sorry, he is very ready. I hope others will follow.

12. No. I don't have cable. I'm just going by all the buzz this has caused
and it's not good. No matter what he meant. We can't give them this kind of fodder because they are desperate and will take anything and turn it against us. The hypocrisy is lost to most people.

15. Then go look up the transcript and try to refrain from commenting
until you've read it, 'kay? Kerry was aces and did bring the war back around front and center.

18. I'll delete my post. I know how you feel. I'm just as upset as all of you, is all.
I was responding to the perception, not to what he was trying to say. That's all that matters at the end of the day in the world of politics. And we have no margin for error.

23. we have no margin for error.... well then fuck us. and know this clearly
our dems are as human as any one else, and to suggest they have no margin of error is unrealistic and unattainable. so you can say we have no margin of error all you want. no ONE will achieve perfection. aint gonna happen any time any where. reality is..... we will fuck up along with everyone else. we do it way less than the repugs, that is the BEST we have

28. hugs. i hear it in your post. we dems really gotta quit with the expectation
of perfection because the nedia demands it from us. does not help our dems. i understand why we do, but i dont allow it, becuase we will not be. we have to demand support..... whne we KNOW we are being manipulated.... as wrong as it is what media does and as much of a reality is that viewers are effected, we just have to look at what kerry idd today, and say, hope this will work

generally the dem doesnt even get the media time. then they are blamed for not speaking out

i dont know how many dems demand the dem plan,.... yet i have seen dems come up with plans consistantly over hte years

dems here attacked kerry for not having a plan during campaign, yet that was the boring speech they said he had... a 4 point planon education, iraq, health care and small business

that is up being absorbed in the rove and media manipulation. and personally... i refuse and call it each and everytime

24. Don't worry about it; you've explained yourself. But this thread
was started in response to Kerry's retort about all the slamming he was getting. You had to hear it to appreciate it.

19. That's funny
All the "buzz" last Thursday night was that Jim Webb's campaign was over. We see
by the polls how that turned out.

5. KO'd his own presidential plans again.
This guy is intelligent and right on the issues but has a tendency to offer up huge softballs for the GOP slime machine to whack at. Its unbelievable!

3. Oh, look - the conversation has switched to Bayh desperately trying to defend Bush
on his FAILED Iraq policy.

Imagine that.

4. Yep, he just made major points! And Epstein, a Dem rep on CNN,
compared ALL OF dimson's verbal faux pas that he never gets lambasted for compared to one messed-up joke by Kerry.

11. CNN did a great job defending Kerry
They turned the conversation right over -
asking if * should apologize for all the mistakes he's made?

9. Rove's October Surprise: John Kerry
Preaching to the converted, alienating the undecided. Why couldn't he have stayed out of view for just 9 more days?

20. We are not the electorate
We are the choir. I don't think his message will sway the undecided. Indeed, he may have turned some people off. This was not the time for a speech like this - it was a time to coast to victory.

25. A speech that shines a light on the horrors of this admin and war?
Now isn't the time? When would be? It hasn't been done enough imo.

30. Baloney! People are forming their opinion on who to vote for based
primarily on this war. Why not hear the dirty rotten ugly truth for a change? That might help them form their opinion.

34. Whether he mis-spoke or not is not the issue.
We don't let KKKarl chose his topic of the day

We don't let the slime our guys (and gals) without takin' a whippin' too.

We don't follow their lead, speak their talking points or back down one inch. Those days are over!

Senator Kerry has been tireless in working for the party and candidates all over the country. He's had our backs and now we'll have his as he's earned it. That's how it works.
