Kerry appearance at American Legion - live thread

self

[rudy45]

Sorry for starting this thread so early. Is this like calling "shotgun" three days before the trip starts LOL?

I was trying to find out the time that the Senator's speech will occur. I found nothing at the Legion website (www.legion.org), nor at the Kerry site, nor at CSPAN. When will the speech be given?

Anyway, here is a thread for people to post their comments.

He would have made sure our troops would have had the best equipment

HE VOTED AGAINST THE DAMN FUNDING !!!!

[granite]

[angkor]

His plan to win the peace in VN was to give it all to the commies.

[Straight Vermonter]

Yeah and he would have blamed Bush for every dead soldier.

[jbarkley]

Did I just hear a boo?

[TomGuy]

Troops need equipment?

Hmmmm...but Kerry voted against the $87 Billion that provided the equipment.

Hypocrite

[mass55th]

There isn't resounding cheers or applause in the audience. Luke warm at best.

[Cboldt]

I have see NO shots of the audience yet. Have there been any at all?

I haven't been watchng steady. But everytime I look it is the same shot.

[faithincowboys]

These guys are sad--they're letting him get away with saying "I would've provided the best body armor and equipment, and blah blah blah."

Why don't they object to this? The AL shot its load. Passive dupes. Sad.

[Just mythoughts]

That was before, this is today.


There is no confidence in his voice only words words words. I "feel" his pain!!!!

[LisaFab]

You and me both. Calls VN "a very troubling time." Scum! Seems like he's winding up now.

[alnick]

"I would have never gone to war without a plan to win the peace." Smattering of applause.

That line was intended to get a LOT more applause than it got.

[MJY1288]

He sounds like an antiwar protester

[texasbluebell]

"Fellow Legionnaires"...???

I thought he slammed the AL back in his protest days.

Since when is he one of them?

[surrey]

Something tells me that this speech is going to give the Swifties more ammunition.

[Cold Heat]

Not now, not ever!

[Socratic]

"President Bush got a much better reception but I hate to see ANY applause for this snake."

Glenn must be frantically waving an applause sign.

[TomGuy]

"Catastrophic success"

Bush didn't say that, John, General Franks said that. Get your facts straight.

[NYC Republican]

Thanks!

[RightField]

He just said, "fellow legionaires." Didn't he say years ago that he would never join the AL? Hmmmmmmmmm ....

That statement brought almost no applause.
