Listening to Kerry speech at AL convention live

[Trust but Verify]

Maybe you'll get a chance to spit on him like he and his 'friends' did to his fellow VN vets.

[jennyjenny]

He should have taken their advice and stopped at 10 minutes, but personally I'm glad he is up there making of fool of himself.

[rewrite]

He's laying an egg.

[TheGeezer]

If Kerry is saying he kept faith with the vets in 1971, I guess that rules out an apology for stabbing them in the back, eh?

Ah, another good day for the President!

[ScottFromSpokane]

He did, and the Swift Boat Vets have their next ad. The "I kept the faith" line from this speech, the "hooked up wires to genitals" line from the Senate testimony, the "we stand by those who served" line from this speech, the "Jenjis Khan" line from the Senate testimony, the and so on. Writes itself.

I wonder why no one is sitting behind him? It's so dark back there you can't see all his supporters cheering wildly!

Like every other Democrat, he thinks throwing money at Vets will make them like him.

What a condescending jerk. The applause gets smaller and smaller with each line.

[COUNTrecount]

Audience underwhelmed .Charisma transplant team please report for duty.

[arkady_renko]

The general point is "I am one of you, I will give you a chicken in every pot. The current President hates you and gives you no respect."

No he is going to tell us the Truth! Little applause for his truth.

THE TRUTH , KERRY, THE TRUTH...YOU WANT THE TRUTH THEN RELEASE ALL YOUR MILITARY RECORDS.

[Jaysun]

He's starting to speed up his words in an effort to get the hell out of there...

[r9etb]

The Applause is getting less and less....

Did he really say he kept faith with Vietnam vets? Egad, the man is positively deluded!

[Melpomene]

Keep us updated. It's always good to have inside and first-hand info.

[rs79bm]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.........

[Ron in Acreage]

He's claiming all this phony crap about supporting vets. Except when he's spitting on them. He's promising them all kinds of benefit increases etc.. Trying to buy their votes. Yet while in the senate he's never written a single piece of legislation to do it. He OPPOSED the last 3 pay raise for our service men and women. Active and retired. He's a lying f'n hypocrite.

[Max Combined]

Kerry just claimed that no one doubted that we would win the war in Iraq quickly. Heck, the democrat Generals on CNN claimed we were losing the war right up until the time we won.

What a liar!

[nyconse]

Now Kerry is telling the soldiers that Pres. Bush failed to get UN support. Wow-he is delusional. No vet wants to serve under the f'ing UN. I hear no applause now.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Oh Lord! Going with the crap that Bush hasn't "won the peace" and that Bush doesn't have enough troops in Iraq and basically Bush did EVERYTHING wrong.
