Leno joked a little about the Edwards speech.

[Palladin]

She's rather amusing.

Carol Channing, without the charm

anyone seen Barney Frank?

[cyncooper]

Well, I hope you don't think I do.

I will continue to feel free to report on what I observe on tv.

With all due respect.

[bad company]

"and people like you that just go "the speech stunk...kerry's a loser" do no good for the campaign, whatosever."


Yeah the way to help GWB is to cheer on kerry like Zotbait here.

[AFPhys]

Fred Barnes just mentioned how Kerry spent twice as much time on the flag as he did on his record.

That is exactly the type of analysis that is going to totally KILL sKerry during the coming days and weeks.

[wisconsinbushvolunteer]

"It will be 54 to 46 for Bush."

You're out of your mind. Even the campaign doesn't expect to reach 54 percent. Think with your head and not your heart. For us in the trenches, most of the attitudes are not helpful at all. We need people to understand just how difficult this election will be and to do all they can to help out.

the Lifetime Movie Channel

People around here call that the Damsel is Depressed Channel, since every time you turn it on, there's some movie about a woman getting abused on it.

[Mike Bates]

I smell a 'Rat.

[txradioguy]

Well at least Kerry has said some things he plans to do (before he decides NOT to do them! LOL!)

Let's hope the RNC was taking careful notes and are planning on refurint what he says line by line.

Shouldn't be that hard to do.

[Darlin']

".... and some the liberal networks will fudge the numbers for their agenda."

Ya think ? :)

[pulaskibush]

Don't forget the slogan, "help is on the way" is also stolen.

[RasterMaster]

It would be nice if the Democrats and John Kerry could think for themselves...rather that STEAL from speeches of their opponents and speeches of the past.

[ntnychik]

An older man on the panel said, "We liked the sentence, but it doesn't mean that we're going to vote for Kerry just because he said it."

I want to find that older man and buy him a beer.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"The best "commercial" right now is watching President Bush's acceptance speech from 2000 on CSPAN2."

Oh thank you so much for telling me! I'm laughing and feeling so much better already!

[gov_bean_ counter]

I stated before the convention that I thought he would end up losing ground. I stand by that prediction.

[txradioguy]

"Even the campaign doesn't expect to reach 54 percent."

What makes you so sure?

IMHO 60-40 Bush/Cheney.

[SerpentDove]

I know a one-word comment that I stole from Rush that is a sure fire laugh-getter, and pretty devastating. Whenever you see Kerry on TV or hear him mentioned, say to someone, "Lurch."

No one wants Lurch as their President.

Fortunately, J F'n K is so easy to laugh at.

[NYTexan]

Nice find!

I'm stealing it!

[MJY1288]

The Democrats think they will be able to claim they are for a strong National Defense and point toward Kerry's speech. The problem is, Kerry has a voting record that doesn't support it, the Democrats have a very long record of cutting defense spending.

Kerry claimed Bush misled us, there is no way for him to back that up. Kerry is calling for civility while he slanders President Bush.

This whole speech and the past 4 days have been nothing but a charade. They have 95% of the 6,000 Delegates opposed to the War in Iraq and John Kerry focuses most of his speech on building a larger War Machine. THE WHOLE THING IS A CHARADE
