I know that the conservatives here didn't agree with the CONTENT of Kerry's speech last night, but I'd be interested to know how everyone thinks he did as far as delivery and "doing what he needed to do" as the pundits say.
Personally, I thought it was uplifting and positive, but the devil is in the details. I would love to see America as he described it ... I'm just not sure how he's gonna pay for it -- not to mention if it's even possible.
Thanks

I give him a B+. Actually his address this morning at the harbor was more interesting. Yes, his voting record is ugly.
Aside from that I think if they keep a microphone under his wife's nose long enough she will put Bush back in office......

Confiscate producers wealth, redistibute to non-producers, health insurance is a right, bla, bla, bla, etc. I can't even watch these things anymore and I am a very political guy. With all the proposed programs, we're going to cut the deficit in half in 4 years.......come on, where's the money going to come from? Just remember, He who robs Peter to pay Paul, can certainly count on Pauls support. I'll give the Dems credit, they have at least figured that part out.

Politcal doublespeek! In one sentence talk about not trashing each other and then in the next start trashing Bush. Why not talk about his recod or 19 years in the senate? Because he KNOWS that the American people would send him packing today, if anybody talked of the true sKerry. Voted to cut 27 defense systems that make our sodiers the most awsome fighting men on the planet. But that is OK, cuz sKerry woudl never have those men fight. Only to protect his worthles a$$. He might order them to fight if the terroist were headed up Pensylvania Ave blasting from a bullhorn that they were comming to kill him. But even that would not matter cuz he would probably be in France or at the UN, talking about how we need to make them like us.
Why does he not open his millitary records? Lets see how he really got those Purple Hearts. His commander denied one of them, but sKerry went up the chain and got it anyway. Just release the records if you are so proud. And to use those soldiers like that. It's disgusting. For 30 years he was never seen with any of them, and now is never seen without them. I am sure they will all end up with nice 'consulting' contracts right after sKerry would take the oath.
I am not going to rant anymore. But RR had it right, keep a microphone under her nose. And lamont, you are right, they have perfected the vote buying scheme to a science. And now to send lawyers to the polls in advance to plan to go to court to try and steal an election. They should all be ashamed.

There were enough give-aways in his speech to keep the great un-washed in their continuous, adulating stupor. He was also able to give the impression to the powers of the DNC that, despite the too numerous to count contradictions and flip-flops, a professional is at the helm of the campaign, hence the money coffers should remain full.
However, if I were in charge of the Republican convention, I would ignore completely the domestic agenda, let it speak for itself. I, more than ever, feel that the very lives of our children are at stake in this election like no other election before. Do we choose to go back to the party of concession that gave us 8 years of blindness to terrorism, invited Arafat to the WHITE HOUSE of all places, placated the Bosnian Muslims, sold North Korea their nuclear reactors that they threaten us with now, which have led today to a world where clandestine enemies vie to procure WMD's for our destruction......or do we keep in place an administration who wholeheartedly reject neverending UN diplomacy and concession and who feel the best way to fight this war is taking it to them the same way they mean to take it to us. This current administration also, I believe, is willing to admit the many disappointments and shortcomings in the rebuilding of Iraq, but historically speaking, a monumental victory was won there in a monumentally short period of time thanks to American ingenuity, sacrifice and leadership. If the blinded masses would look at this election in these terms instead of wondering how they will spend that extra thousand dollars sKerry promised them, I might be able to sleep better at night over the next 4 months.

Very well stated Doc!! I feel the same way. I am baffled that reasonably intelligent, informed folks would even consider voting Democratic. I used to work for an agency that was funded with state grants. Everyone that worked there was Republican at heart, but would vote democratic, becuaase they knew they would get increased funding, therefore higher raises. Of course never considering that the raises were offset the next year with higher taxes.
The democratic party of today scares me as much as terrorists!!

Roc,
The republicans would do well to completely avoid mentioning anything to do with the domestic agenda. They have flubbed the unemployment situation, even though it is beginning to improve slightly, messed up in allowing wholesale outsourcing offshore, creating a homeland defense agency who is able to distribute money to the states, but only a trickle makes it to the frontline trenches in local communities. Halliburton continues to make news on how they're going to repay the feds for overbilling and we all know the connection there.
On the economy, I head one of Greenspan's cronies say about six weeks ago that the administration had figured out that people without jobs lose buying power is causing a problem with the economy. Where do they go to learn this stuff? Kind of obvious isn't it?
On the flip side, Senator Kerry yesterday said they had a bunch of lawyers making laws in Washington and they were going to change that. Huh??? is Kerry a lawyer and Senator? Nothing like having both sides of an issue discussed at the same time.
I'm in a clearly Bush state (TN). Since I won't vote for an incumbent due to stupid things they do when a lame duck, I'm kicking a vote towards the Libertarian Party. Lets get the feds out of our daily lives as much as possible.
JUA
