Most of the speeches and comments have been a watered-down Bush-bashing w/out mentioning his name plus a bunch of dreams of our ancestors/do good kumbaya stuff.

With an occiasional vote for Kerry sentence at the end.

Mrs. Vilsac wrote an article about ten years ago which decried people who don't speak good English. Se gave several examples, one being what is called "ebonics." Nobody noticed the article when published, but now she's on the national stage.

So they are spinning that she was just being a teacher, doncha know? I tend to agree with the Vilsac's on this one.

The only way John-boy can save this turkey is to threaten to sue them if they don't stay awake.

This convention isn't about hitting home runs, its about bunting, walking, stealing, and fouling off pitches, little things to try and set up clawing out a run or two in a tight defensive game.

The effete on CNN would think that Heinz-Kerry was brilliant...as they try to figure out what she was talking about. RE: Taaraysaaas Amazzzzzzzzing speech... perhaps she is like her hubby (according to one explanation) .. so brilliant that we, the common folk, just don't have a clue of how to understand her.

sound feasible?

Admin...this is scaring me....

"What attack?"

I will repeat...

"You're free to express your opinion as long as your registration lasts...

...you're also free to be throttled at the neck like caged veal if you sound like an ass."




What on Earth did I ever do to you to provoke this kind of attack???
