53. He is the GREATEST speaker of MY day!

No one can match this man. Look ma....no notes!

[Old and In the Way]

64. Because he knows what he wants to say.

As opposed to Dimson who must have his words programmed via earplug.

[Deb]

55. "We're going to make sure all votes are counted this year

in every state in America." Gooooo BigDog!!

[opihimoimoi]

78. Big Dog looks a lot better than Bush does....I will never forget that

"CHOKED" look of Bush in the classroom when 9/11 hit and he was told of the attack..... Damn, some kind of "Leader" he is... absolutely stunned and speechless. Gears in his brain going .00000000001 rpm

like real slow.....

Big Dog woulda been SO different...And for that matter, Gore too. Theyt both would know better than to stay at the school for the next 37 minutes....

Clinton got Class and the Shrub is as jealous as they get....

[Solly Mack]

[LastKnight]

90. "they call us weak because they need a divided America, but we don't."

that, my friends, is a leader.

-LK

[LastKnight]

haha

-LK

[kanrok]

65. A nice chardonnay

How freaking repuke of me. My apologies.

[Tatiana]

68. He's winging it now....

Breaking it down like the policy and political wonk he is.

"In other words, THEY need a divided America, but we don't."

[RoyGBiv]

69. Compare and Contrast

Now THIS is the way to bash the Republicans.

"They NEED a divided America. But, we don't."

This man is brilliant.

[lottie244]

79. "They need a divided nation; we don't" WOW!!!

So true.

[Selwynn]

89. Lot of people at DU don't seem to really agree with that.

They seem to believe that we win by only agrravating that divide rather than looking to unite....

[drscm]

80. They need a divided America, WE DON'T!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sugarbleus]

81. They need a divided America, We don't....

[Bluebear]

103. Oh it was alright I guess. hehehe

[SammyWinstonJack]

289. It certainly got a Woo Hoo outta me!

President Clinton tore it up! Oh how I miss him! The man is extremely comfortable with who he is! What a contrast between him and Mushmouth *!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

88. I'm glad I stayed up for this

bashing BUSH! WOOOHOOO!

[texas is the reason]

91. yes! testify big dawg!!!!!!

[Tatiana]

Preach on, brother. Talking about tax cuts.

LMAO, talking about getting a tax cut.

[Ithuilwen]

97. omg, it's so nice to hear "nuclear" pronounced correctly! nt

[Ithuilwen]

101. "the republicans were kinda mean to me" nt

[umtalal]

105. CLINTON SAID IT: WE DEMS DON'T NEED A DIVIDED AMERICA, THEY DO.

[Walt Starr]

99. He is TEARING THEM UP!!!!!!

Kerry is going to win SO FUCKING BIG!!!!

[Thrill]

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BIG DAWG

OUCH

[Solly Mack]

118. He always could

[ellie]

102. I can't believe I am so well cared for

by the current president. I almost sent them a thank you card for my tax cut until I realized the rest of you are footing the bill for it.

Edited to add: Hilarious!

[slutticus]

110. That was awesome!!!

I can't believe he said that!

Damn! I just lost my C-SPAN stream!!!!!

[Ithuilwen]

114. His wit is so refreshing. nt

[Ithuilwen]

115. dupe

[Old and In the Way]

117. I heard him make this same case in Augusta, Maine last fall.....

speaking the truth about those taxcuts.....way to go Big Dawg!

[Liberal Christian]

104. "I never thought I'd be so well cared for by the President and the

Republicans in Congress . . .I almost sent them a thank you note, until I remembered you all were paying for it!"

LOL!!! Go Big Dog!!!

[SunDrop23]

107. LET THE BIG DAWG EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo hoo

[Gloria]

108. Both Gore and Clinton threw that "compassionate conservative" crap

right back at Bush....

I knew Clinton lost weight.........but wow, he looks spectacular!!

Gore was wonderful. He asked some important rhetorical questions that stuck it to Bush...I hope I hear "prosecutor Kerry" ask the same questions. I like questions as a technique. During the primaries, I wrote a piece for Buzzflash about Kerry, begging him to stop pontificating and start prosecuting......by asking questions...

Fingers crossed. Please. QUESTION. Good way to wake up dull brains.....

[in_cog_ni_to]

111. The republicans were kinda mean to me

until after I was out of office and then they really liked me. Enough to give me a tax break. I almost wrote them to thank them until I thought about you who would have to pay for MY tax cut!

Go Bill! Go! I LOVE you!

[linazelle]

112. Love him. That is all.

[Nevernose]

113. His speech pattern is perfection

[Tatiana]

116. Damn, he broke down the Republican economics better than anyone. n/t

[umtalal]

125. Do they say much! n/t

[loathesomeshrub]

216. They are about to start their commentary about the speech now.

[loathesomeshrub]

237. Clinton great speaker - overshadowed Gore, Carter. Smart to have

Clinton on Mon, and Kerry on Friday. Dems strongest argument is that Bush is a divider, and he used the unity he acquired to push through his agenda.
Typical "made the case for Kerry better than Kerry has himself"
"He did a really really really good job"
Very centrist speech, no attack on corporations.
Mort Kondracke doesn't agree it was a centrist speech. It whacked the Repugs - was anti Republicans.
Ok I am tired of these morons, I'm flipping

[Tatiana]

120. I'd just like to remind everyone that this is being televised NATIONALLY.

Listen up, America.

[Nashyra]

131. If you agree with them

then by all means vote for them. I love it!

[southernleftylady]

[Sugarbleus]

153. God, you are SOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT! I'm doing the same

[Old and In the Way]

132. A "barn-burner" of a speech..................

he's got the facts, he makes it simple, and he's going for the throat...in a folksy sorta way.

[Nashyra]

146. He's killing them with the fact that he is refering

to "HIS TAX CUT" it will piss off soooooooo many repukes that he is getting this tax cut and they are helping him keep it.

[texas is the reason]

247. exactly! love him or hate him,EVRYONE is pissed that clinton got a tax cut

[spanone]

133. Sick 'em Big Dawg!!!!! Kick Ass.

[Solly Mack]

136. He just nailed our trade policies big time

[Tatiana]

137. How can we enforce our trade law with the same people who are our bankers?

He shoots, he scores.

[RoyGBiv]

Scared my Cat

Wish we could vote for him again.

[geomon666]

141. Wow

And it's a line drive into left field by The Big Dawg! The man is hitting everything out of the park. So nice to hear the truth after so much crap. I'm in heaven. :)

[ellie]

142. America works better when more

My God, Bill Clinton really rocks!

[Bundbuster]

143. He's hitting EVERY note

[Career Prole]

244. Not this time you're not...

...this year's choice is historic, and we all know I ain't just whistlin' hyperbole. I live in Texas and still I've never valued my vote more. It represents a choice for my kids' futures more than ever before in my lifetime.
On top of that, the Big Dawg flat kicked ass! :toast:

[Nevernose]

147. "Our way works better"

John Kerry and John Edwards can give us our country back.

JohnJohn 2004!

[Tatiana]

158. BILL CLINTON KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no doubt. Admits he had chance to go to Vietnam and didn't. Bush didn't go. Kerry said, "send me."

Kerry said "Send me." LOVE THAT MEME!!!!

[Nevernose]

160. Send me. BAM! In yer face, Shrub!

[philosophie_en_rose]

161. He's a freaking genius!!!

1) Republicans are not like Democrats! (They eat babies, j/k)
2) If you vote for Bush, you give Bill Clinton money. (*pop* goes the freeper heads)
3) John Kerry, John Edwards, and the Democrats are true leaders.
4) John Kerry knows who he is and where he's going. He'll show true conviction and common sense.
5) When John Kerry could have used his privilege to escape service, he said "Send me." Send John Kerry to the White House.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

doesn't he just blow you away???

He's blowing freeptards away RIGHT NOW.

I just got this mental image of about five million right-wing brains
endlessly looping through variations of "Norman, coordinate!" and
"Landru! Guide us!"



J.

[Gloria]

162. OUR WAY WORKS BETTER!

210. I didnt see him... wonder why? n/t

[Pachamama]

278. I wondered about that too...then again, sometimes people when listening

to a presentation do just that and take it in....

[texas is the reason]

187. strength AND wisdom for president!!!!!!

[slutticus]

Strength and Wisdom are NOT opposing values.

Awesome!!!!

[K-W]

188. Strenght and wisdom!

[Solly Mack]

189. Now THAT was the best line yet

strength and wisdom...

[Ilsa]

191. "Strength and wisdom are not opposing values."

Got a great laugh!

[Tatiana]

192. Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.

Remember the scripture, "Be not afraid."

Clinton did not come to play tonight. America is watching this. He has made our case.

[playahata1]

193. He is BOMBING on Bush!

"He has AN INSATIABLE CURIOSITY ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND HIM... A WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO OTHERS, even if they do not agree with him."

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

202. Yep you got it

he is nailing bush by pointing out what is good about Kerry!

You go boy.

[belle]

285. Yes, that was very smart.

[Sugarbleus]

195. Strength and wisdom are NOT opposing values!!

[RoyGBiv]

197. The Audience...

People in the audience are crying.

This man is so inspirational.

I want an adult in the White House.

I want my country back.

[Renew Deal]

198. Fastest thread to 200 ever.

[MissB]

208. most duplicates of excellent phrases ever. (nt)

[slutticus]

235. Yeah....eat your heart out "Porn Movie Title" thread....

:P

[Gloria]

199. "Strength and wisdom are NOT opposing values".....

...referring to Repug charges that Kerry/Edwards can't deal with terror......"Don't you believe it....strength and wisdom are NOT opposing values."

[nyhuskyfan]

204. Send...John...Kerry

This man is awesome.

[Hoping4Change]

290. Hi nyhuskyfan

Welcome. Gald you're here.:hi:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

203. OMG

he is TOTALLY bringing up "O Captain My Captain" imagery with that captain of the vessel stuff.

Could I BE more goose-bumpy???? No.

[Ithuilwen]

205. "SEND JOHN KERRY!!!"

:bounce:

[glitch]

206. I know I am not the first or the last to say it - God he's brilliant

Choose to form a more perfect union. And now Patti Labelle with one of my all time favorite songs! Thank God I didn't kill my television.

[Tatiana]

207. WELL-DESERVED standing O. n/t

[ellie]

209. Well, that was just fantastic!

He ended it with: We need a captain that can steer us through troubled waters to clear, calm seas.

[Solly Mack]

The Reverend Clinton sure knows how to make a sermon sing

[umtalal]

211. THANK YOU UNDER PANTS, YOU ARE BRILLIANT

Man I am stocked!!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

212. BIG DOG!!!!!!!!

I love him!!!

[Bluebear]

214. "It's a new day!" -Patti Labelle!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

223. Patti!!!

Sing it Patti!

God this convention ROCKS. Completely ROCKS.

[slutticus]

217. Anyone else think there should have been...

...fireworks after that?

[MissB]

221. LOL! I think that would have been a let-down. (nt)

[Richard D]

222. There are

I think everyone who heard that speech is seeing fireworks. I feel proud to be an American again.

[Longhorn]

230. I thought there were!

I could have sworn I saw fireworks! It sure felt like it! :D

[Old and In the Way]

240. Fantastic Musical choice to follow Bill.

The Democrats are putting on a show......can't wait for the contrasting Republican convention of middle-aged, white collar criminals.

Geez, that speech pumped me up...

[Liberal Veteran]

219. Oh man! Someone who can actually SPEAK!

I miss Clinton.

[texas is the reason]

220. I'm not trying to be gay or anything......

but if i had to f**k a guy, it would probably be clinton. (please no one get offended, it's a compliment....and a joke!)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

227. Dude I completely understand where you

are coming from and I am female.

Though I'll take Dean and Edwards any day and any way, thank you. Blushing now.

[Catherine Vincent]

264. LOL! That's that Clinton charisma.

Now you see how most of us ladies feel.

[slutticus]

224. Strength and Wisdom are not opposing values.

I'll post it again. I don't give a fuck


:)

[DemBones DemBones]

257. One of the best lines! nt

[Bo]

225. AMAZING SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had tears in my eyes.

[Mr_Spock]

226. I LOVE BILL!!! WOOOOHOOOO!

He's still my hero.

[PopSixSquish]

246. "Strength and Wisdom are Not Opposing Values"

I fell off the couch at that line. He's just been waiting for the right time. I love the Big Dog!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

228. I feel so GOOD!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Bill Clinton! :loveya:

[DoveTurnedHawk]

229. I Was Talking to My Friend Right After the Speech Ended

My voice was quavering. OMG. What an incredible speech. What an incredible President.

DTH

[Catherine Vincent]

231. I just LOVE that man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all I have to say right now.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

232. I had my nine year old daughter watch that speech

and I told her "This is the man who was president when you were born. This is a GREAT MAN. Listen to him."

She watched the whole thing with big dinner-plate eyes. Her verdict: "He's GOOD." She had goose bumps. She asked me why we still can't have him and I explained the whole eight years max thing. She said "Too bad, but Kerry will be good, too."

You said it, girl. You said it.

[classics]

233. People in the audience were WEEPING.

What a great and moving speech.

A message of hope is like a burning star in the dark room America has become under Bush.

[WindRavenX]

234. Best speech ever

Jesus Christ, what a man.

[texas is the reason]

242. agreed. "i have a dream" material!!

[drscm]

236. I cannot believe what I am hearing the pundits are saying on FAUX News

They repeated the phrases:

They need a divided America, we don't.

Strength with Wisdom.

and proclaimed them brilliant.

[Pachamama]

279. BECAUSE - what else can they say? If they didn't give it proper credit...

...they would be exposed, and they can't risk that right now...

They are all scratching their heads on how to combat that one....

[bushisanidiot]

238. Watching Faux News. they're stuttering and stammering trying to figure out

how to spin Clinton's speech as "bad" for the democrats.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Nevernose]

243. Try, fuckers, just try

[underpants]

250. Britt Hume:It's hard to imagine that they will EVER feel as passionate....

or energized by THEIR candidate.

Just caught that at the end.

[Kipepeo]

239. Transcript?

Anyone got a link to Bill's speech? That was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

241. I just imagined

Election night. And finding out Kerry stomped bush out of the White House.

And I honestly think I am going to cry my head off out of sheer joy. And alternate that with jumping up and down and screaming with joy.

What a HUGE lifting of a dark black cloud that will be.

[Pachamama]

281. When Kerry/Edwards take the White House Back for us all, I'm going to

celebrate and be partying for days, weeks, months, no, YEARS!

Life will be bright again...the world a brighter place....

[slutticus]

245. NAY!!!!

I don't want it to end...

[BattyDem]

251. I posted this in another thread, but it's worth repeating ...

Assuming the votes are counted fairly and accurately, Clinton just gift-wrapped the election and handed it to John Kerry on a silver platter. The man is absolutely brilliant!

Damn, I really miss him! :loveya:

[Pachamama]

282. This was the Big Dawg's Appetizer....he's only getting started...watch him

over the next 3 months to campaign and help Kerry/Edwards as he criss-crosses America....

I miss him....but I think Kerry and Edwards will also be great....

[Jose Diablo]

252. We got a populist or progressive coming our way

Kerry is gonna be another FDR.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

259. HE SURE AS HELL IS

I mean it, I have actually thought that before....that Kerry has the potential, not to be a Kenney, but a ROOSEVELT. AN FD FREAKING R.

Yep. I called it and so did JellyBean, you heard it here first.

Kerry is going to ROCK.

[LWolf]

253. Classic Clinton.

He knows how to reach his listeners, doesn't he?

My mom called as he finished, crying her eyes out. She's always loved him.

Keep talking, Bill.

[Sparkly]

254. AaWOOOOOooooooOOOO!!!

Love the DAWG!! Perfect, focused message of UNITY!! :D

I don't think there's ever been a president with his talent for speaking to an audience.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

255. Michael Moore should put this speech on the F9/11 DVD as a bonus

[bloom]

256. damn

:D

[Kimber Scott]

258. Bill brought me to the brink of tears. Gawd, what a speaker!

And what a plan for the Democrats. The Republicans need the country divided, we don't. Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. I love that guy. I wish I could vote for him again!

Oh, and I like Hillary's tactic of pointing out Kerry is a serious man for serious times. I hate all the "Who would you rather have a beer with" polls. We don't need a drinking buddy for a president, we need Kerry.

Awesome night.

[Zen Democrat]

275. Who would you rather have a beer with?

Sharpton said it best tonight regarding * ... "If you lie to me, I don't want the beer or the guy!"

[minkyboodle]

260. I wanna get in before it gets too big

What a speech. Clinton is a colossus when he strides upon that stage. He really has no competition and thats coming from someone who has criticized his policies a lot in the past. When the man speaks, he has no equal.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

261. Hear hear eom

[The Blue Knight]

262. Bill makes me feel good to be Democrat :-D

We're going to the White House!!!!

[Carolina]

263. Simply the best

better than all the rest ...

I have loved Clinton since I first heard him speak in 1991 and love and miss him more and more. He never disappoints; he speaks and you just melt... that intellect, that wit, that unique talent and ability to connect the dots and connect with people. He is the man.

And he helped Kerry big time tonight.

[Oddman]

267. One of the greatest orators of the 20th Century

Period.

[AnnitaR]

268. Had to post on the Big Dawg thread!

Just now got to work so couldn't post earlier... just wanted to add my love and admiration for the man who inspired me to become involved in politics!

I was in tears while listening to him. He is beyond what words can do justice!

[jus_the_facts]

269. I'm in total awe....he's a genius....he gives me hope like no other.....

......but makes me cynical at the same time....because I KNOW....do you hear me....I KNOW....yet so many others just have their head up their asses and believe all the media tells 'em and that GREATNESS we witnessed tonight is scorned and ridiculed like it's just librul propaganda....the media will spin our message into mediocrity and then orgasm over the repukeazoids retardation....that's the SAD reality! :grr:

[Aftershock]

272. I really miss him as president.

Watching him give his speech tonight made me even more proud to be a Democrat. The way he talked, the way he fired up everybody, and the way he motivated people to vote for Kerry in November was really touching.

[denny1958]

273. I Think Bill Just Put Kerry Over The Top!

Bill Clinton was unbelievable! I can't recall ever hearing a better speech than this one.
I hope people saw this because this was the kind of speech that can sway the undecided.
No wonder Republicans are terrified of this guy.
Atta boy Big Dog!

[Hoping4Change]

288. Hi denny1958

Welcome to Du. Glad you're here.:hi:

[LearnedHand]

274. Love the open hands gestures

Imploring. Beseeching. Wise.

PERFECT!!!

Go, Big Dawg, go! I miss you, man.

[hippiegranny]

280. ok, i resisted before

but i must pile on...

he was BRILLIANT.

"strength and wisdom are not opposing values"

BRILLIANT!

[KT2000]

283. Absolutely Great!

My cats have learned - clear the room when Clinton makes a speech. I yell - hoot - and well up with tears. That's what hope can do!
Tonight was his best ever!

[Lindsey]

284. I listened to the speech from work and am now staying up

to watch the rerun - I can't wait. Probably the best speech I've ever heard on a radio and I can't wait to see it. Hell yea, I'll drink coffee at 11:30 at night to keep me awake to watch this. I had friends from all over calling me at work just after the speech. Some were in tears because they miss him so much. God, what a brilliant human being......

[Bake]

286. The REAL DEAL. Turn this man loose on the stump!

The GREAT Communicator. Kerry is apparently going to turn the Big Dog loose on the stump. WE WIN. End of story.

Bill Clinton. The Master. We'll not see his like again. Not in our lifetimes.

Bake

[Chili]

287. thank you for this thread...

...I loved reliving it through your eyes!

He makes me not only proud to be a Democrat, but proud to be an American, carrying on our great political tradition!

One of the greatest speeches - and speakers - of all time.

[against all enemies]

291. I hope Kerry can mine the gold from this speech.

And express it in that easy to understand, hey it's just what's been bothering me, approach.
