AL SHARPTON was the only speaker to make me cry

[bloom]

and I don't expect ANY of the other speakers to accomplish that.

[Cheswick2.0]

1. me too

I loved it!!!

[Fleshdancer]

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one with tears streaming down my face

That was the best political speech I have ever heard.

[truhavoc]

3. I was more enthusiatic with Al's speech, however...

Obama's speech is the only one that brought tears and raised the bumps on my arm thusfar.

[RodneyCK2]

5. Same here...

probably the best so far.

[Catch22Dem]

4. Come on guys!

Are you telling me I'm the only one who was crying like a baby when Ilana Wexler (sp?) was speaking?

[Longhorn]

Not tears -- giggles!

She had a contageously happy and optimistic tone!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

13. I was laughing my ass off

when she was talking not crying. She was damn FUNNY!

[Longhorn]

6. He had me in tears, too!

I hope he knows that he does give hope to children and adults everywhere, even if he didn't get the nomination.

[RetroLounge]

7. Every night a speaker has brought me to tears

I am SO proud to be a Democrat!

RL

[Booster]

15. Al made me proud as punch.

From now on I won't call them donkeys; I'll call them dunkeys. ha

[Purveyor]

8. The first speaker to date that I jumped up out of my chair

and clapped like hell.

To hear the CNN crew describe it, Rev. Al should be arrested for not following protocol.

Good job done, Al!!!

[tandot]

9. I loved his speech. I switched from MSNBC to CSPAN just to watch it

completely. Tweedy interrupted and later gave negative comments about it. What is wrong with him?

I think he was needed there. I loved how he "answered" Bush's questions.

[Cha]

16. It was masterful and anyone that didn't like it is a

repuke who wants bush to win cause they're stupid.

[MidwestMomma]

32. I like your attitude...

:toast:

[Cha]

10. I've been tearing up with quite a few of them...

Any time anyone speaks of truth and Democracy in such a riveting way on a National stage like that..I turn to mush!

[NC_Nurse]

11. Me too!

He was very moving...

Go Al!

[ronnykmarshall]

12. I was in my car

hootin' and cheerin'!

As I passed this car that was gonna turn left, this guy was giving me the thumbs up and "V" sign when he saw my Kerry car flag.

[supernova]

14. Tears here!

:cry:

[Palacsinta]

17. I am so moved & inspired......

as always by his speeches............his speeches fill me with such a range of emotions.........mostly, I am made aware of the possibilities of this country. I am determined to work harder!!!!

[Lex]

18. Me too. I burst out in tears at the end.

Good grief.

And I don't usually cry at anything.

: sigh :

[malachibk]

19. Me too!

Couldn't believe it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. I cried ALL day yesterday.

:cry: Sharpton brought me to tears AGAIN. His speech was unbelievable! I can always depend on Al to give a great speech!

[BayouBengal07]

21. I guess

I'm the only one who can't cry during political speeches. It seems to me to be akin to being brainwashed by party politics. I always think about the other side of the isle that cries when Bush and Co. speak, and it just seems like too much. Whoever's elected, its essentially another four years of politicians and Washington and beaurocracy and so on.

I'm so used to politics as usual and dirty politicians that I can't see the sincerity of their words and believe them when they talk of hope and honor.

Don't get me wrong, I know there is a clear difference between the parties, and I know I strongly stand in the Democratic camp, but crying just seems getting too worked up about it. But I'm glad you guys are genuinely that impressed and spirited.

[KoKo]

22. He was great! Especially in his Ray Charles analogy of folks who haven't

seen "purple mountain's majesty" but still have hope that if they work hard enough they will! Great speaker...he needs to do speeches for Dem candidates... He brings the message of the "common man" to LIFE! Inspite of his background with the Brawley case...he has a wonderful talent...it shouldn't be wasted. I'm glad he was given a "spot" in
"prime time."

[AnnInLa]

23. "AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!"

Yep, that moisture must be tears....to mention the slain civil rights workers, the little girls in Birmingham....not just sentimental drivel, the truth.

[kodi]

24. helluva' speech about time someone said at a convention what he did

and yes i had tears too.

know what? one of the "people" scrambled up on the stage of the ruling class tonight and pulled the whole damn curtain away. no wonder the gop media whores are already going bonkers.

is it lost on anyone that the two best and most important speeches this week have been by african-americans?

the democratic party reflects this country and its promise, the gop distorts them.

[bloom]

25. it's not lost on me

many have made the point that THEY know what it is like to suffer the effects of "terrorism" and they can help us through it.

What a sad thing....

[themonster]

26. Amazing

Sharpton was fantastic.

[guitar man]

27. That's what

a good sermon from the good Reverend can do for 'ya :)

[skippysmom]

28. Sharpton kicked ass

Very different from Obama, but I really was impressed with both.

[union_maid]

29. I was tearing up

I never thought the Reverend Al would get to me, but he spoke truth and spoke it powerfully.

[LWolf]

30. I have been in tears a few times.

Gore and Clinton both.

And Kucinich.

And then Sharpton.

[Sugarbleus]

31. Obama made me cry, Clinton made me cry, Sharpton

ENERGIZED me to work for change. To move it! To shout it from the house tops. To keep pushing ahead...never ever give up. Never hang my head. He let me feel okay about being angry over certain things. That it's okay to open my mouth and TELL IT LIKE IT IS when things are wrong.

KEEP HOPE ALIVE.

[Kipepeo]

33. To be fair

Clinton, Dean and Obama also made me cry. But Sharpton made me sob. Flat out sob and laugh on the drive home while listening to the radio. I love you Al Sharpton.

Every day I find myself saying "best speech yet!"

[bpilgrim]
