'A rousing revival of "Johnny B. Goode" swept through a third floor ballroom at the Westin Copley hotel Friday night, as Senator John F. Kerry asked 200 of his volunteers to use their enthusiasm for his presidential campaign to volunteer for other Democrats in Massachusetts.

"We did an amazing job -- you did an amazing job -- and I want you to leave here today convinced that if we keep on working, keep on fighting, keep on organizing, and keep on caring nobody has to redefine the Democratic Party," said the unsuccessful presidential candidate, to cheers and digital camera flashes. "I was lifted up and I think you were too by a common effort to change things."..

'After about 30 minutes of remarks from Kerry, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and Teresa Heinz Kerry,'....

Ohhhhh, we need audio.....

We have GOT to find the DUmmie threads on this, PJ.

[cubreporter]

Keep on fighting for what? They are AlWAYS FIGHTING. They must be some really weak fighters cause they had 8 years prior to GWB to get done what they fought for and nothing happened. So, in essence...the game of fighting...they are losers. I think fighting was Al Gore's middle name. All they need to do is stop yelling, screaming, fighting and act like gentlemen and gentlewomen and maybe they could move on. NOT!

...what about Pelosi and Boxer? Then we got the Fantastic 5 of liberal idiocy.

No we don't. There are SOMETHINGS we're better off not knowing.

'Appreciative Kerry lays groundwork for 2008 run By Andrew Miga, Boston Herlad Saturday, February 5, 2005

http://news.bostonherald.com/politics/view.bg?articleid=66998

Thanking 1,200 supporters gathered in Boston's Westin Hotel last night, Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] joked: ``According to the exit polls, there are 2 million people in this room tonight.''

Kerry, striving to be upbeat as he addressed staffers and campaign volunteers from his failed White House run, was propped up by his Bay State colleague, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio].

``This is the first meeting of the Kerry for President Committee 2008,'' Kennedy declared as Kerry and his wife, Teresa, looked on.

In a meeting earlier in the day with Herald editors and reporters, Kennedy predicted Kerry would be an even more formidable candidate if he runs again in four years.

``He's got to make his own judgment,'' Kennedy said. ``He'd be a stronger candidate the next time.''

Kennedy was one of Kerry's strongest boosters in the 2004 campaign, traveling extensively across the country to boost support and raise money for the Democratic nominee.

``I think that John Kerry [related, bio] ran a good campaign,'' Kennedy said. ``President Bush [related, bio] ran a better (one).''

Kennedy blamed the country's skittish mood of ``overwhelming anxiety and fear'' in the wake of the 9/11 attacks for Kerry's loss. ``It was just a difficult thing to kind of break through,'' the senator said.

Democrats must do a better job of conveying their values on issues such as health care and jobs if they want to take back Congress and the White House, Kennedy said.

said the unsuccessful presidential candidate, to cheers and digital camera flashes.

Oh, so I guess liberals only use digital cameras now? I'm sure none of those camera's had nasty old film in them...

If its a farce, I'm glad they had a band on hand to play...

"We did an amazing job -- you did an amazing job -- and I want you to leave here today convinced that if we keep on working, keep on fighting, keep on organizing, and keep on caring nobody has to redefine the Democratic Party," said the unsuccessful presidential candidate.

And a long as they continue to believe that no one needs to redefine the Democratic Party we will continue to have unsuccessful Democratic candidates..............

"We did an amazing job -- you did an amazing job..."

Must not have been that amazing.

I was amazed it was as close as it was.

Kennedy bashes president for ignoring bin Laden
By Andrew Miga
Saturday, February 5, 2005

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio], intensifying his attacks on President Bush [related, bio], yesterday accused Bush of letting Osama bin Laden slip away while focusing instead on a bungled war in Iraq.

``It isn't the local Iraqis that are a threat to me in Boston,'' Kennedy told Herald editors and reporters. ``It's al-Qaeda that is the threat to us here.''

Added the senator: ``It is unfortunate and tragic we haven't been able to apprehend him after all this period of time.''

Kennedy noted pointedly that in Bush's 2004 State of the Union address, the president mentioned bin Laden more than a dozen times - but not even once in this year's address.

``Why'd he mention him one year ago 15 times?'' Kennedy said. ``Now he doesn't mention him at all.''

The Bay State's senior senator, who strongly signaled he is prepping to run for re-election in 2006, also:

Warned that America's military might has limits that are being tested in Iraq: ``We can't be the policemen of the world, and we are stretched out on Iraq.''

Questioned why Iraqis can't be trained to protect themselves faster, noting his wife's 23-year-old nephew was an Army gunner who went into combat.

Expressed confidence that former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean [related, bio] would be a strong leader of the Democratic Party: ``I think he's very resourceful and he's brought a lot of people back into the process.''

[EagleUSA]

Caring? The far-left libs? Caring for what, other than their own selfish interests -- certainly not about America and its needs. Talk about the "USELFUL IDIOTS" following the Pied Piper into oblivion....

"...as Senator John F. Kerry asked 200 of his volunteers to use their enthusiasm for his presidential campaign

Don't be a CINO (Conservative in Name Only)
Don't listen to CINO's in politics,
the Main Stream CINO media,
and even here on Free Republic.
EXPOSE the traitor for what he really is, The Enemy Within.

Don't listen to CINO's who want to "move on".
And tell you "get over it Kerry lost"
"Kerry is finished."
He's NOT finished!

And remember this.

All it will take is for Clinton to have more problems with her health






Col. Geo. "Bud" Day Medal of Honor Vietnam POW 1967-1973 USMC - USA Attorney 1949-2004-

Dear Joe: The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been,
what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.

Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies.. fabrications.. perjury.. fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists. Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was going to be elected in 1972. Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers".
A returned war hero said so.

Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star. His Senate testimony confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How many kids did you kill today"?????
He obviously was running for political office in 1971.

Until Lt. John O' Neil, himself a Swifboat commander, spoke out before the 1972 elections against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry's self serving lies.

I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and I am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win. North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commented that every day the Communist leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses.
The guts of it was that propaganda from the anti-war group was part of their combat strategy.

While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Air Foce members were being killed in combat.

Every battle wound to Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's untruthfulness.

John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about U.S. atrocities in Vietnam.



He likewise defamed the U.S. with our allies and supporters.

His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnam Prisoners of War, of which I was one.

I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony,
which might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs.

I draw a direct comparison of General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War, to Lieutenant John Kerry. Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country. General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and position. John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to the anti-war movement, and his direct liason with the Vietnamese diplomats in Paris.
His reward. Political gain. Senator..United States.

“Without question,
we were held captive longer
because of the anti-war people,
the Kerrys, the Fondas and Haydens,
the names we knew over there -
they encouraged the enemy to hang on.”
