Listening to Kerry speech at AL convention live
9/1/04 | Self

Posted on 09/01/2004 8:59:28 AM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

Kerry on local radio at the American Legion convention in Nashville.

He starts off by buying John Glenn's support by promising him another trip into space.

Opening joke about him having a problem keeping his speech under 10 minutes falls absolutely flat.

Kerry in this speech is trying to wipe out what he did when he came home from Vietnam,he is promising everything,hoping the vets will forget what happened.He is an opportunist who gauges his direction by what he see's as popular at the time!Our young men went through h*ll in Vietnam and because of what people like Kerry and his like did they went through h*ll when they came home.You reap what you sow and Kerry right now is reaping the benefits of what he did to the men fighting in Vietnam

To be perfectly blunt, it looks like he colored it brown and then dusted cornstarch through it.

The response to the speech was, at best, tepid. There's been some applause, but not much.

And he's CLOSING! YEAH!

As much as I enjoy watching him bomb, he is so boring I don't think I can watch anymore.

CNN panned the crowd a minute ago. I expected to see a conference room from the sound of the applause. No! There thousands in that room!

He just slammed those nasty Senators who give themselves the best healthcare in the world and then give regular Americans the bill. I guess that rules out a Senator as President, after those guys pulled that dirty trick on us.

This man's body language and facial expressions are getting weirder by the second.

I completely agree..........he is selling snake oil. But the way the crowd is responding to him is making me nervous.

I want every able-bodied Vet to stand and show him their backs.

Kerry is such a bore...he can not give a speech. I bet Pres. Bush crushes him during the debates- Lincoln and Douglas all over again he,he.

He looks like he really just wants to say, "ah, nevermind, I'm outta here"

Not really. He is talking down to them and he loves that. He talks down to everyone -- he is superior. A superior soldier to Bush, a superior lover of Vets. It's all crap of course, but he really believes he is superior. He loves to hear himself speak.

Crowd was probably paid and bussed in. Like most of his events.

Plenty of vets will show class and be polite. This doesn't mean they will vote for him.
