The extent to which they are going to prop this cipher up is laughable. Even they can't believe he is the man for the job. This is just one big ego massage for a mediocre hack politician.

Kerry's probably been writing this convention speech since he was 12 BUMP

[familyofman]

Has Hillary made her move yet to steal the nomination from JFK?

[Mr. Silverback]

When you're listening to Kerry talk about his great hero-ness, remember this song from the BBC's Red Dwarf TV show...

If you're in trouble he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
Without him life would be much grimmer
He's handsome trim, and no-one slimmer
He will never need a zimmer.

He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
More reliable than a garden strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer.

Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of Space Directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me.
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right then-he-just-might
Come round for dinner.

He's Arnold Arnold Arnold Rimmer,
No rhymes left now apart from Qwimmer.
I hope they fade out before we get to shimmer
Fade out you stupid Rimmer

Thanks for the ping, Ho'n.

I'll be lurking off and on, but have dialup today, so won't be real prominent posting.

Will Terayza accompany him?

THE NATIVES AT THE DNC SOUND RESTLESS WITH ALL THOSE DRUM BEATS.

A pro-Bush supporter shows her contempt for controversial documentary film maker Michael Moore as hundreds of Texans gather to watch an open-air viewing of his film 'Fahrenheit 9/11' in Crawford, Texas, July 28, 2004. Hundreds watched the controversial film as President Bush (news - web sites) stayed at his nearby ranch. (Jason Reed/Reuters)

Ron Silver on Cavuto right now....lifelong Democrat and social liberal stating he thinks these Dems (especially Hollywood) are full of it and he's now supporting the Republicans.

I suspect his ardent support of Israel his behind this realism and rightly so. I'm glad to have him.

Can someone provide the quote for me where Edwards said "and I'll tell you how we're going to pay for all of this" during the speech last night and then mentioned giving tax breaks to 98%? Just want to make sure I have the wording correct.

[Normal4me]

That guest list looks like a sunday line up for Wolf Blitzer's show.

[cake_crumb]

I'm here finally...dunno for how long, since I've been going through the DEMCON 1 & 2 threads, and have already broken out the alcoholic beverages in self defense. (**hic**)

[smonk]

after Kedwards gets done being so strong on the war, watch Nader's poll numbers shoot up.

[TomGuy]

Based on Brit and panel on FoxNews, it sounds as if Kerry's speech is going to be 'typical Kerry'----long, dull, boring, uninspiring, yawn-fest, empty rhetoric, probably with a bunch of 'I have a plan' comments (no details, no specifics, of course).

Fred Barnes wonders when Kerry became such a war hawk after decades of being a liberal dove on all things related to war.

Mara Liason seems to be the only one who brought kneepads.

Even Mort Kondracke doesn't appear to except much from the speech.

[ArmyBratproud]

PLEASE HELP! I NEED INFO...

I am looking for an list of Kerry's anti defense votes.
Kinda like what Hannity mentions from time to time.
One that shows is lack of defense and intel support.
Most know that he refused to fund our boys in the Sand.
But I was looking for the others votes too.
I plan on sending that info out tonight to quite a few undecideds.
Thanks,
Brat.

We will need a volunteer...

to stay awake...

everyone load their RealPlayer and turn the volume up loud.

When Kerry lulls us to sleep,

the volunteer with shoot a loud shrill (probably Hillary's voice)

to wake us all up.

The reason for this emergency measure is to prohibit too many FReepers from dozing, falling out of their chairs, hitting their heads, slapping their monitors and ruining their computers.
