God that was painful.

I thought they normally inserted when the speech received applause from the audience. It looks like they did that for this speech. HAHAHAHAHA

On CSpan, the Kerry speech vs the Bush speech was night and day.

The group was completely enthusiastic for Bush.

A scattering of applause when he said something good... but John Kerry is a study when it comes to trying to say the right things for every audience.

Now that I think of it, there was hardly any applause... he's probably chewing out an aide or two for not getting the speech right.

The audience basically sat on their hands and there were a number of empty seats (SRO for President Bush and numerous standing ovations). Listen to the speech on C-SPAN unless it's going to cost the DNC money. On second thought it would be interesting to listen to portions of both to see if the Kerry-Edwards team played with the applause levels like they do with comedy show laugh tracks.

As if this speech is something to be proud of?????!

For his next speech they will add pauses so that the scraping sound of people getting up from their chairs and walking out won't drown out the speaker.

IVAW!

Is there a NEW 'john kerry' somewhere in IRAQ now?

One who will be part of the IraqVeternsAgainstWar and speak before a Congressial 'investigative' commitee looking into IraQ 'atrocities'; telling how he and his mates degraded helpless Muslim's?

---

Will HE also write a 'book' about HIS experiences that will become sought out on the WEB?

Will HE want to run for POTUS in 2044?

[Elsie]

Hundreds walk out of speech!!

Goodbye!

[PilloryHillary]

I can't believe that the campaign put the speech up on Kerry's website! How will that help him? It was pathetic and embarassing to watch. I salute the people that got up and walked out on the traitor.
