I don't, Leadership requires steadfast conviction, a sense of purpose and a clear vision.

Kerry does not possess these traits

[Torie]

LOL. Go for it.

[goldstategop]

Yep... He had to sound like Bush Lite but looked terrible conveying the impression. Its a wholly forgettable speech apart from a few lines. Most of its recycled Reagan and G.W cliches.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to buy the steaming pile he was shoveling tonight.

I can't see one single person buying the steaming pile who wasn't already hip deep in it. The speech just wasn't persuasive.

[Ichneumon]

Watched Slingblade, instead.

For a while there, I thought I was too..

[cyborg]

Hmmm you may be right

[gov_bean_ counter]

The very first thing someone in the Republican camp will do tomorrow is identify all the plagiarized lines. After that, it will be all downhill.

[MrChips]

Well, at least the Republicans may be able to come up with some decent music. What's with all the weird music at this convention? We have had variously irreverent and weird versions of the Star Bangled Banner, a VP speech followed by frightening-looking rap artists, and more Mellendamp vomit than I can stomach. "God Bless America" anyone?

[pulaskibush]

My counter slogan would simply be, "America doesn't need help from a liberal".

[goldstategop]

Exactly. Remember, John F*ckin' career has been built around being whoever he thought people needed him to be. If they need him to be Ronald Reagan, heck he'll be Reagan if that's what it takes to win.

[twgiles]

Here's a brief transcript of the disarray in the CNN booth:

"OK, release the hamsters! NOW! More, more hamsters, hurry! Dammit, where are the f*cking hamsters? What the f*ck are you people doing, we need one of those f*cking hamsters in the fountain before Kerry leaves the stage!"

[Danette]

Can anyone find the quote Kerry made in a debate back in January or February about how the terrorism threat is overblown?

[Big E]

I would like Bush to force Kerry to answer the question, "If you were President on 9-11, what would you have done?" OH, right, I know, more policeman, more fireman, capture Osama Bin Laden by recruiting a billion more Special Forces guys. The fact is, Kerry will never take an offensive position in this war. Under his leadership, we will forever be playing defense, and cleaning up from the last attack on us.

[cyborg]

harsh language

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Being in Liberal Wisconsin now for 7 months i just dont know what to think anymore. People up here are nuts!

Agreed. On the positive side, they only vote for Democrats when they are bribed with cigarettes, which the Democrats have banned.

[Major_Risktaker]

Actually, I think he was IN the Navy for 2 years, just in Vietnam for 4 months....

WOW! 120 days in Nam and Kerry comes out a Bronzed-Silver Stared 3 purple heart HERO!

Must be a record with privileged connection.

_____________

Hail, the Conquering War Criminal Comes!

What Kerry Really Did in Vietnam

"(1) Kerry was in-country less than four months and collected, a Bronze Star, a Silver Star and three purple hearts.

I never heard of anybody with any outfit I worked with (including SEAL One, the Sea Wolves, Riverines and the River Patrol Force) collecting that much hardware so fast, and for such pedestrian actions.

"Something is very fishy."

"(2) Three Purple Hearts but no limp. All injuries so minor that no time lost from duty.

Amazing luck.

Or he was putting himself in for medals every time he bumped his head on the wheel house hatch? Combat on the boats was almost always at close range.

You didn't have minor wounds. At least not often.

Not three times in a row. Then he used the three purple hearts to request a trip home eight months before the end of his tour. Fishy.

__________

Kerry is a POSER! His career was a set-up right from Kennedy's sailboat.

_____________

ONE MORE THING

John Kerry Voted For Kennedy's BAN On All CenterFire Ammo

Kerry is Full Of It With His Tough Talk Tonight!

Kerry will ban your ammo and put 40,000 troops on American Street to give you that Save Stalin Feeling.

[Eddie Haskell]

Ugh, I didn't realize Jerry Stiller is a 'RAT. :-(

Neither did I. I love him as Frank Costanza but that's where I part ways with him.

[sinkspur]

I can't see one single person buying the steaming pile who wasn't already hip deep in it. The speech just wasn't persuasive.

It persuaded Pat Buchanan.

I'm listening to the old anti-semite on MSNBC, and he said that Kerry "closed the sale" on convincing Americans that he can be president.

What the hell is in the water at MSNBC? The token Republicans, Buchanan and Scarborough, have swallowed the spit.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Kerry gave CPR/mouth-to-mouth to his daughters' pet hamster.

Did he at least remove it from Richard Gere first?
