[Tape plays.] Senator Kerry, in the clearest terms, what would be the principal difference between the foreign policy of your administration and that of the Bush administration?

Kerry: Brian, the principle difference will be almost everything. This administration has been arrogant. I think they have been reckless. They have been overly ideological. They have pushed our allies away. I will bring our allies back to us. I will respect the international community — not that we're tying ourselves to it in a way that doesn't allow us to make decisions and protect our own security. But it's important to try and build real coalitions. It's important to bring people to our side. Even the powerful United States of America needs friends and allies on this planet. And I intend to pursue a foreign policy that faces up to realities. For instance, North Korea, George Bush didn't even negotiate, didn't even begin the process for two years. I would never not open the process of real dialogue to see what the possibilities are. He turned his back on global warming, walked away from a treaty that 160 nations worked 10 years on. We should never have just declared it dead. We should've tried to fix it. We haven't done what we needed to do for AIDS globally. The president talks about it, but we still haven't passed the kind of comprehensive program that would help the United States lead on one of the great crises of our time. We haven't done what we need to do for loose nuclear material in Russia, where we ought to be gaining the security of that material so it can't fall into the hands of terrorists. I mean, there are countless numbers of things that we could be doing to enhance the world's view of us and to minimize the kind of anger and ... almost recruitment that has taken place in terrorist organizations as a result of the way the administration has behaved.

I cannot belive how politically dense this guy is.

things that we could be doing to enhance the world's view of us and to minimize the kind of anger and ... almost recruitment that has taken place in terrorist organizations as a result of the way the administration has behaved.

WHAT? How stupid is this guy? Bush is making the terrorists mad at US. SENATOR Do you remember 9-11-01?????? How much more angry can we make them??????

[CasearianDaoist]

Well it sounds like the sort of stuff the MTV crowd will eat right up. I am surprised they did not have him play the guitar.

[Domangart]

Yes thats all true but, he is telling them just what they want to hear. Do you want to hear gas is too high or the reasons that it is.

[Capitalism2003]

I saw this...it wasn't a disaster...It was actually very close to an infomercial for Kerry..30 minutes of free advertising and hype...no hard questions...They actually played soft 'patriotic' music in the background when he was talking about his agenda...very subtle stuff. I dislike everything Kerry stands for, but it is obvious that this special will make him look good in the eyes of younger (and naive) voters.

John F. Seinfeld seems to blame America for 9/11! What a pompous windbag!

[texasflower]

He sure uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

He turned his back on global warming, walked away from a treaty that 160 nations worked 10 years on. We should never have just declared it dead. We should've tried to fix it.

The KYOTO TREATY?!? Not even the filthy French would touch it. Kerry is beyond delusional.

Also, Bush made HUGE funding provisions for both African nations and AIDs reseach. He simply tied provisions to that funding to ensure the money was used properly. I assume Kerry simply wants to hand a blank check over to third world dictators?

What can I say? The man has a pronounced bovine intellect.

[FRgal4u]

Can this guy ever answer a question with fewer than 50 words??

I just love this, all these "I am smarter than you, so I give endless words to answer your questions" attitude from this guy. I just wonder when the American people really get to know him later this year, how many of them will remember anything from him other than a guy is willing to say anything on everything and a guy gives long muddle answers.

Compare to Bush, Kerry lacks clarity and clear vision in dealing with these questions.

Bush likes to say - "Dead or alive", "I hear you"

vs

Kerry's loooooooooong answers, drifting, and mumbbling...

you be the judge..lol

Yago: So what have been some of the surreal little epiphanies that have hit you?

Vanessa Kerry: I think that standing onstage on January 19th, and my father had just defied all expectations and won Iowa, was by far the most surreal moment. My sister and I were standing up there looking at each other, and I turn, I said, "This is our father." And she goes, "Holy sh--."

Holy Shazaam! Is that what she said?

[John Thornton]

Kerry voted AGAINST Kyoto. Who is he to complain?

[DefCon]

this article has an altered title

[TomGuy]

Gobbledygook comes out of Kerry's mouth as answers to question.

Every Kerry response boils down to this:

"I have a plan [period, no details, no substance, no further information.] The Bush administration is bad yada yada yada yada."

That's it. If you listen to every Kerry response, it boils down to the quote above.

Kerry has no substance, rather he is empty-suit rhetoric.

Kerry: I served in Vietnam, you know. It was there that I developed my appreciation for hip-hop culture and rap music (in fact, I may have been the first rap artist (laughs)). You see, there I was reading aloud my book of French poetry to the troops, when some of the young black soldiers gathered round and started to stomp and clap their hands - you know, put a beat behind the words. Yo! Before long me and my homeboys had quite the show going on. Later that night when we were done, I wrote a personal letter to Jane Fonda, telling her how I supported her efforts. Life was good then. MTV ROCKS!

"How stupid is this guy?" Very stupid,and worse,arrogant. A very bad combination.

[mewzilla]

It was actually very close to an infomercial for Kerry.....

Wasn't that nice of Viacom?

[mombonn]

I am surprised they did not have him play the guitar

He would have, but he had a boo-boo in his shoulder.

John Flip-flop's campaign: I wouldn't do anything Bush is doing, but if I did I would do it smarter, quicker, faster and cheaper because I am superior.

Ketchup or Mustard?

[kittymyrib]

This is an April Fool's joke, right?

[Samwise]

He sure uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

Painful, isn't it?
