PRAISE JESUS!!!! PRAISE KERRY!!!!

i was talking about the picture genius…

hahaha you eat shit :D :D :D

Help is on the way!

Though Flawd, I hear what you're saying – these speeches are all about pandering and getting votes. The Reps will be the same, it's the nature of the beast – all this praise for the heartland and the little guy….

but…..

Help is on the way! :D

oh, the picture that's appearing as a red x on my computer with a dial up connection?

i tend to reply to posts based on the actual text.

you know. the "conversation" part.

Please, just stop with the "Bush will reinstitute the draft" argument. Hate him all you want, but if that's your reason, then you have no case, because it won't happen, nor has he said he wants to do so.

Its really just lazy grabbing to use that argument when better critcisms can be made by simply thinking about it.

i wonder if it is a chick or dude in the bottom right(?) corner…

and those are cool trees…

i work in PR and i loooove watching these speeches. it's so… obvious… that they've hired people like me to scrub the language, build the patriotic metaphors.

I thought "Help is on the way" was okay but a little off. He needed something that will also get people energized and to the polls, and telling them that you'll help them doesn't make them want to get off their couches and do something, you know?

what wouldn't i have done though? those "america can do better" signs. sheesh. looking at the crowd it says "KERRY" "America can Do Better." "KERRY" I'm not sure that's the messaging you want on the screen… :roll:

What bothered me most about the whole proceeding last night was they way they played the Vietnam Vet card so hard and heavy. I just wish they didn't have to do that.

Did anyone happen to be watching CNN's coverage of the convention last night? After Kerry's speech there was a truly hilarious technical malfunction.

Right on, for instance how he described his parents passing last night. Who says this stuff?

"I wish my parents could share this moment. They went to their rest in the last few years…."

You are, if you honestly believe the draft is coming back.

What I love about those speaches is the politicain promises so much, but when you look back the only tangible thing he seemed to offer was a lift on the stem cell research ban.

I thought is was great speech. If you vote Bush, you are personally contributing to the downfall of America.

he said he'd roll back the tax cut the rich (>200K) enjoyed under Bush

I guess that is why GGW wont be voting for him.

I wonder what proprtion of people earn over $200K?

I think it's so sad the way the working and middle class have been mesmerized by bush's tax cuts. They think he's on their side by lowering taxes for them, but don't they realize that 50% of the tax cuts bush has made go right into the pockets of the richest 1-2% of Americans?

One other thing…duh…if you lower taxes it's generally a good idea to reduce government spending, not increase it!

did anyone else watch the daily show coverage….i thought that that was good. especially the john kerry piece.
"John Kerry. Not george bush."

tough crowd got to me with that dumb ass mark and the black chick who believes michael moore.

Would that be the same 1-2% that pay 50% of income taxes?
