"I am glad you registered just yesterday to let us know all the bad news on Zogby, and to praise Kerry's speech..HMMMMMMMM"
Did you read what I wrote about the speech?? I said it was a good speech marred by poor delivery, and I stand by that. And in the bounce prediction thread, I said it would be a 5 point lead, just outside the margin of error. I'm out there working for the guy, but understand this is not going to be easy, and people like you that just go "the speech stunk...kerry's a loser" do no good for the campaign, whatosever.
Not to mention that privatizing social-security is critical in the Gen-X and Gen-Y collective mind. His support base has been seriously eroded.
Said he will raise taxes (loses 20% of support base).
Said he will not privatize social security (loses another 20%)
Said he will not allow outsourcing, waging war on pharmacueticals and international trade (loses another 20%)
Not intent on defending America (loses another 10% of his support base)
He's history.
Frank Luntz's groups are frauds.
After 4 days, there is still that gap--what has Kerry accomplished in the last 19 years in the Senate?
All we know is that he served in Viet Nam. Ok. That was 35 years ago. What about the last 19 years?
Right ON, Brother!
Please see my post #4810.
Hey the F bomb is on Drudge right now and I could hear the whole thing just fine! http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc.wav
Alexandra Kerry wearing a see-through dress at the Cannes Film Festival that will undoubtedly be cluttering the political blogosphere this week ...
So much for Kerry's Family Values BS!
I'm not worried. The Dem's have owned the airwaves for four days. It's not called the post-convention bounce for nothing. Our time is coming...
Just my opinion. What do the rest of you think of his polling?
Nam Vet
Well, we shall see.
And now, I am off to watch HGTV to lower my blood pressure.
By the way, I consider the attack on the President's faith the lowest of the low. I think I will send another donation to Bush/Cheney tomorrow.
SERENITY NOW!
Watching Leno right now.
here's an interesting bit of speculation... if there was no 22nd Amendment, but Clinton retired in 2000 anyway... and he ran this year against Bush.... ??
Will it ever end?
If anyone wants to comment on the air, the Roger Fredinberg Show will be taking comments on the Kerry Speech in about 30 minutes. Talkone.com 18008505043
Bring it on! Lets Roll.
Ole Kerry ain't gonna get much of a bump from tonight's blah blahathon.
Historically you should get atleast 5 points, I bet Naders gets more of a bump than Kerry.
In the latter category is his pledge to make us, "finally and forever independent of Mideast oil". Yeah, good luck with THAT one, BunnyBoy...
Has Kerry even BEEN to Harlem lately? It's being gentrified by up and coming black lawers, doctors, professors, and entrepreneurs. Why, it's even where Clintoon has his offices.
Someone on the DNC ought to shoot Kerry's speechwriter.
Frank Luntz is a joke. The group is really dull. They are trying to pull this thing out because if flopped tonight.
Remember the guy on TV with those colorful sweaters who sold all sorts of crap? They'd show some slicer and then cut to the "audience" and all of the audience would be shaking their heads in amazement? Well, the audience was full of actors. What Luntz does is pretty close to the same.
That would definitely be helpful, but if someone can pull an image from tonight's telecast there was a moment after Kerry finished his speech which could also prove VERY damaging with 'swing' voters, I think. Did anyone else notice when Al Sharpton was standing right behind Kerry, as Kerry was waving and glad-handing, and for just a couple of seconds Sharpton held up a poster which said "Boot Bush" with a large boot on it. I thought it was "off message" for the supposed "national unity" speech that Kerry was trying to give and showed, once again, the nasty vicious undercurrents of the left that never go away, no matter how much Kerry wants to pretend to move toward the center. That kinda garbage plays well with the left, but I would think there are millions of people "in the middle" who would be rather disgusted to see the image of Sharpton, Kerry, and the "Boot Bush" poster that Sharpton was holding over Kerry's shoulder. If the LSM were honest enough to show that image on every front page in America I don't think Kerry's propaganda would get anywhere with the "swing voters." Can someone get ahold of that image from the broadcast and circulate it?
