[Endangered Specie]

I hope Teddy's not having any difficulties with the teleprompter.

[Endangered Specie]

7. Keep kicking repo ass Ted!

[Chovexani]

8. Our world is defined by interdependence

Truer words were never spoken.

[Tatiana]

[Tatiana]

11. Let's see...

Halliburton
Enron
Cheney and the "undisclosed location"
need to change Presidents
and now Iraq

Guess nobody asked him to rewrite his speech LOL

[Endangered Specie]

13. Can you imagine telling Ted to rewrite his own speech?

"Shove it" would have been only the tip of that particular iceberg.

[Endangered Specie]

15. A fair minimum wage

[Tatiana]

16. Going through a litany of Dem programs that have benefited Americans.

Very convincing.

GI Bill
Americans with Disabilities
Civil Rights
Voting Rights
Raising min. wage

[Endangered Specie]

18. Fear of 4 more years of dreams denied, and progress rolled back

[Tatiana]

19. FEAR OF FOUR MORE YEARS OF DREAMS DENIED! YESS!!!!

FEAR FEAR FEAR! Be scared if Bush is elected again!

The only thing we have to fear is FOUR MORE YEARS OF GEORGE BUSH!

OMG, preach on Teddy!

[Endangered Specie]

20. The only thing we have to fear is FOUR MORE YEARS

[onecent]

21. The only thing we have to fear

[Chovexani]

22. Our struggle is with the politics of fear

YES!

[Endangered Specie]

23. Ohhh, nice comparison of W to King George III

[Endangered Specie]

25. We Will Win them AGAIN!

[Beaverhausen]

26. Great speech!

[Tatiana]

28. Kings ruled by divine right.

The power of America still rests securely in the hands of the people. We intend to use that power. We will use it "My brother's love; to strive, to see, to find, and not to yield."

We will make our country once more, "America, the Beautiful."

[Sugarbleus]

29. THANK YOU KENNEDY FAMILY!!!

How precious they are.

[Selwynn]

30. Bring back TED hehe.. ENCORE!!

[Beaverhausen]

31. James Brown!!! I'm dancing now!

[Tatiana]

32. I usually hate big screens.

But I love ours. Look at those people in the audience having a good time. I'm enjoying just looking at the representatives of our party.

Folks, our party truly represents America. I've been down on the Dems for a while, but this convention is truly inspirational. We are going back to our roots, to who we are. It is a beautiful thing.

[Tatiana]

33. MY FUTURE SENATOR.... Barack Obama coming up

Great introduction by the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

But they introduce Dick Gephardt first.

[Sugarbleus]

36. He said "Cowboy"......................lol but EEK

Hope it didn't turn off the good Cowboys..lol

Good Minister though. BRING ON OBAMA woohoooooo :bounce:

[Endangered Specie]

34. And finally, we wanna get that cowboy oughta the office.

-Illonois satellite feed

[Endangered Specie]

35. Gephardt!

[Chovexani]

37. Man even Gep is on fire tonight

Bless his little heart. :)

[Endangered Specie]

38. Hes trying...

but its hard to outdo Ted you know.

[Chovexani]

40. LOL

Yeah I feel sorry for him, coming on after Big Ted. :)

But for Gep this is scorching stuff, hehe.

[Tatiana]

39. We need to restore honor and dignity to the WH.

LOL, good one.

[Darth_Kitten]

41. Was that Rob Reiner dozing through Teddy's speech?

:shrug:

:)

[Tatiana]

42. Win or lose, the dream is what matters.

Gep gave a weird conclusion... Think he was trying to rally his supporters to Kerry.

Daschle being introduced.

[Chovexani]

43. Daschle up now

They must be giving people a bathroom break before Obama. :evilgrin:

I kid Tom! He gets on my nerves most of the time but I'll be nice tonight, I'm on too good of a buzz.

[Tatiana]

44. Daschle up.

Even HE sounds inspired and lively tonight.

[Chovexani]

46. Ha ha

Somebody must have put something in his Wheaties. :)

[Tatiana]

45. How can we build schools in Iraq when so many of our schools are crumbling

Americans aren't asking for special deals, we simply want our government to do right by America. We don't just talk about our values, but we live them.

Well, I hope Daschle remembers all this stuff he's talking about when he returns to the Senate...

[Tatiana]

47. Middle-class squeeze becoming a way of life.

Mentions Enron and Halliburton. Certainly not as effective as Teddy.

But, hey, at least he's trying.

When we win back the Senate, Kennedy should be majority leader. No offense to Daschle.

[Chovexani]

48. The era of Enron and Halliburton undermining us is over

Damn. That was cool.

[Tatiana]

49. Next majority leader of the United States?

Uhhhhh, Daschle. I dunno about that.

[Tatiana]

50. Live video from Des Moines, Iowa.

What's a "food democracy?"

[Tatiana]

51. Carol Mosely-Braun up.

Used to be my Senator. I'm not a big fan. She looks lovely tonight, though.

[Chovexani]

52. Carol Moseley Braun

Looking stellar tonight, I might add. :)

[Beaverhausen]

53. Love her!

[Chovexani]

54. I feel good too, Carol! (n/t)

[ellie]

55. Howard is coming up next! n/t

[Sugarbleus]

58. Yeeeeeeehawwww Dean!! He gave us the punch to get

the whole ball rolling. THANK YOU DEAN!!

[Tatiana]

56. HOWARD DEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

So wonderful to see him! And the crowd goes WILD!

[Chovexani]

59. Yay!

I just made a 13-year-old girl squeal.

[Chovexani]

66. I'm Howard Dean and I'm voting for John Kerry

The Doctor is IN!

[in_cog_ni_to]

67. I'm Howard Dean and I'M voting for John Kerry!

:bounce:

[Tatiana]

68. Dean invoking Truman.

Health insurance for everyone.

Create jobs, not destroy them.

Talking about soldiers. "I'm Howard Dean, and I'm voting for John Kerry."

He's tired of seeing hardworking Americans struggling. Wants to see America restored as the moral leader of the world. America's greatness rests on far more than the power of our arms.

EXCELLENT POINT.

[ellie]

69. Our greatness is not

only measured in our arms, but our goodness.

[Tatiana]

70. "I sold my bicycle for democracy."

Oh geeze, I'm about to cry....

[Sugarbleus]

76. Me too.....I wonder if Dean will ever run again? I'd vote for him.

[ellie]

71. Politics is too important to

be left to politicians.

[Tatiana]

77. GREAT line. n/t

[pinto]

72. "Thank you Dr. Dean", the floor yelled.

You gotta love it.

:dem:

[Tatiana]

73. We're gonna be proud to call ourselves Democrats in Mississippi.

We're gonna be proud to call ourselves Democrats in TEXAS!

Yes!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

74. "We are not going to let those who disagree with us...

...shout us down under a banner of false patriotism..."

Go, Dr. Dean, GO.

:toast:

[sbj405]

75. I hope he ends with a big scream!!

Yeaaaaaaaargghhhhhh!!!!

[ellie]

78. He was really good!

He totally rocks! Now walking off to "We Are Family." A nice united message.

[Tatiana]

79. Christie Vilsack on.

She's really cute.

[Tatiana]

80. Janet Napolitano up!

I like her. She's my kinda lady.

[Tatiana]

81. Picks up on Clinton's theme of last night, John Kerry has always said

"Send me."

[ellie]

82. "I've noticed people stopped

talking about their healthcare problems because I think their blood pressure goes up and they can't afford the medicine to bring it down."

That was fucking priceless.

[Tatiana]

83. LMAO! Yes, another good one! n/t

[Tatiana]

84. YAY! My Senator, Dick Durbin is up!

Nice introductory music too.

[Tatiana]

85. We must elect a Democratic congress.

We need a Democratic Senate. A Senate working for the interests of family. The first step on the road to a Democratic Senate begins in the land of long prairies where one can stand and see America in every direction. It begins in the great state of Illinois (WOOO-HOO!!!!).

Pays tribute to Paul Simon. A phenomenal Democrat.

This is an awesome intro to Obama.
