9. Kerry wasn't my #1 choice but

the speech he's giving is exceptional and extraordinary. Hope he keeps this up...it is inspiring.

[Mr.Green93]

12. It is a great speech

this is an important moment in the campaign. (imho)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

15. Just curious, but who's going to get your vote in November?

[returnable]

18. Gee, maybe he should roll up his sleeves...

...and let out a scream :eyes:

[Redleg]

19. Do you see any good in Kerry?

If not, perhaps you should consider moving over to Conservative Underground. Okay- that was harsh.

Is "charisma" the most important attribute we should demand in our leaders?

[Redleg]

20. Your response seems like a repeat of the media versus Al Gore in 2000.

A broken record.

[OKNancy]

23. You didn't watch it did you?

You are just funnin' us right? Maybe he should have screamed or something.

[OneTwentyoNine]

24. Your right....now voting for Bush....

:eyes:

[nostamj]

25. you should just leave

knee-jerk ignorance is never welcome here. though I could suggest <FR> a more hospitible <FR> site for you.

obviously, you couldn't be bothered to WATCH the speech.

pathetic.

[Old and In the Way]

28. Another uninformed smear......but Bush appreciates your efforts here.

[mitchum]

31. just a piss-poor reflexive response

no surprise there

Kerry will make a great President

On my way!

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. that was an extraordinary speech

he even offered suport to bush if he should show some ahem,leadership

[Just Me]

13. Am I prepared to have this man serve as my next President?

Absolutely!!!

He adds "hope" to a world gone crazy.

He really looked fabulous!!!

:bounce:

[Tuttle]

That was great!

He was very awesome: those who say he is a drone-r who need to watch this speech in replay... he may have been somewhat monotonous but he was spot on, message-wise!

Excellent oration! And perfect follow up to Cheney's venom spew that brought this on!

Tut-tut

[Stuckinthebush]

14. Compare Kerry to Bush in speech situations

Hands down, Kerry looks more presidential, sounds more presidential, and makes people more comfortable.

[dolstein]

16. "Kicking Butt"? More like cautiously nudging butt

Personally, I was completely underwhelmed by the speech. Very light on substance. His entirely game plan in Iraq seems to consist of getting other countries to contribute more soldiers and money and ceding reconstruction authority to the UN. Fine. But what's the likelihood of that actually happening? After all, if countries like France and Germany can't see that its in their self-interest to get involved in Iraq now, why should we believe they'll behave any differently when Kerry is in office?

[bigtree]

21. We could offer these countries a say in the reconstruction

and cede control of the resources we are stealing through the reconstruction fund. Also we could offer a president who won't lie to them.

[Gloria]

30. The French foreign minister explained it a few days ago....

I posted the article in the WMW....in which she says that France is willing to train Iraqi police outside of Iraq, but not now because Bush still isn't meeting their criteria, which includes real inclusion in what's the hell is going to happen there.

The EU has formed it's block. They are ready to act if we cut and run.
If we get a new President who is willing to really include them, then it's a different story, they'll work with us. If we don't, then the EU will continue to operate on it's own. Them vs us.

[sangh0]

27. Dolstein, you're smarter than that

Certainly you don't think that the person who is leading an effort is irrelevant? You're smart enough to know that some people won't take on a worthwhile mission if the person leading it is a boob, but they will if the leader is someone they respect.

IOW, countries like France and Germany may not see that it's in their self-interest to get involved *IF* Bush* is in charge, but they might come to a different conclusion if they see someone who knows what he's doing is in charge.

[Old and In the Way]

29. Perhaps because Kerry won't be managing the commercial contracts?

Bush/Cheney has turned Iraq into their own private patronage country. Financial pay-offs won't be a Kerry priority. I suspect that he'll encourage all countries to participate in the rebuilding efforts, with a UN sponsered Iraqi authority to oversee it.

Sadly, the American tax-payers will be footing the bill of this fiasco for decades to come thanks to Dimwit and his white collar criminal sidekick, Dick Cheney.

[Kellanved]

32. sad but true

I see zero chance of the German military getting involved in Iraq. Money yes, military resources yes, education and infrastructural help yes, but no troops.

I got a report from the German ambassador to Iraq last week - basically he said: It's a mess, many Iraqis want us in. When anything goes wrong, in 95% of all cases Bechtel is at fault. He really has a problem with Bechtel, especially he disliked them using "food-for-oil" funds to repaint Iraqi schools - for a price indicating a total reconstruction.

[thebigidea]

33. gee, I dunno, maybe the fact that a megalomaniac moron isn't in office?

[riverwalker]

17. Sounds like a President to me

I always like his speeches and I WANT a serious president. These are serious times.

[OKNancy]

22. He was magnificant

I had to go out right after the speech, and I thought about Kerry as I was driving. He was so forceful, presidential and every other superlative one could want. He spoke with such authority and intelligence. I'm sure some will pan his plan, but it sounded reasonable and responsible.

Now I'm going up-thread and read what everyone else wrote.

[opihimoimoi]

26. He has shown enough to be a far better leader than the joke we got now

Dats for sure.

Come, we start the bon fire, roast pig time.

[welshTerrier2]

34. Will this be re-broadcast ??? What time ???

i looked for info on c-span.org but no re-broadcast info was provided ...
