  • Yeah should be on soon. I'd hit the sisters though. But then again I'd hit everything, shouting to the honour of Kagulem!

      • I care not for Kerry's borrowed rhetoric. Especially the part where he said we will experience a "new birth of freedom." Just a few minutes ago, he talked about how he wanted to "move America forward." This is the name of a right-wing organization. :hmm: What's the deal with this?

          He's full of it. No mention of repealing the Patriot Act you notice. New birth of freedom? My ***

          • Well seriously. Why the hell would you quote the Republican Party founder at the DNC?



            The other thing that disturbed me was when he discussed the Berlin Wall, and how great West Berlin was and how horrible East Berlin was. He called the wall a dividing line between Communism and Democracy.

            Firstly, that's comparing an economic system to a political system. Secondly, it makes me wonder if he's afraid of praising capitalism...

            BTW, if it makes you feel better, I think he will repeal the Patriot Act if he gets the chance.

            • My wife was undecided, and she has been swayed by him, but I doubt if she will actually vote.

                • BTW, how could she be swayed by this snoozefest of a speech? It's just a bunch of soundbites cobbled together.


                  ...and he just quoted Lincoln again.

                  • BTW, a new slogan of Kerry's is "Help is on the way!"

                    But notice that this was a campaign slogan for Cheney in 2000.

                    He's stealing soundbites from the very people he criticizes!

                    • Kerry gave a good speech, much better than his norm. Amazing. I thought he should've trimmed some of it, though.

                      • The quote of the convention:

                        I will double our special forces to conduct terrorist operations. - John Kerry

                          • No. It's just about the best delivery I've ever seen from Kerry.

                            BTW, a new slogan of Kerry's is "Help is on the way!"

                            But notice that this was a campaign slogan for Cheney in 2000.


                            It's not an ideological campaign slogan, why is that strange? Or a problem in any way?

                            • It's just funny because although they hate each other, and their bases are completely polarized against each other, they use exactly the same soundbites. Verbatim.

                                It was an accident. He corrected himself and meant to say anti-terrorist operations. I'm sure it's gonna get lots of right-wing play though.

                                Over all it was a good speach delivered by a mediocre speaker at his best performance. He seemed like he was in a hurry to get it over with, but that could have been excitement. When you're doing something that you've built up to your whole life, it always seems like its over too fast (thinking of my recent wedding).

                                One thing that really iritated me though was his continued quieting of the crowd during his speech. He'd make some point and he'd get a cheer, and he'd try to talk overthem, once four times before he was able to get going. He wasn't prepped on effective use of the crowd, let their cheering sell him. He seemed impatient with them, which is odd, considering that his speech seemed very much tailored not for moderates, but to win the hearts of the Democratic left.

                                Considering how much they made of no Bush-bashing in the whole rest of the convention, it's almost odd. Unless maybe they didn't want to steal Kerry's thunder. He didn't directly attack Bush, though. He attacked everything Bush's done instead.

                                Overall, I'd give him a B+.
