Adjournment
Michael Reagan is speaking on Hannity and Colmes about Ballet Ron speaking at convention. Anyone else watching???? Wow, he's on a roll! Go Michael!
Kerry's Winthrop/Forbes/Kennedy/whoeverelse ( it's a long list ) family ties got him a cushy job as a general's aide as a "reward" for his "heroism" as a Vietnam war hero.
The skinny snot has never broken an honest sweat in his life.
I guess she thinks Kerry's 4 month in Nam equates 2 tours.
By this logic my husband, who served 2 years in Nam, from July 1967 to July 1968 and then again in 1971 did 12 tours in Viet Nam
She's got a deeper voice than her brother the judge...that's how you can tell the difference.
Healtcare costs have exploded! So.....elect attorneys that helped make it that way?!? IOW, We created the problem so elect us to make you pay us to fix them!
hehehehe wow three times...i need three cigarettes ;-)
John Kerry LOVES you!
LOL. That's a bad imitation of Rob Van Dam (Pro Wrestler)
I didn't know that John Kerry's "plan" was his becoming Santa Claus.
These fanatics know they could not have Clinton. But they are sick now that they could have had Dean. Kerry will get tepid support from a lot of them, perhaps some deciding it's too much trouble to go to the polls. We shall see. However, EVERY true Conservative will not hesitate to vote for GWB. Our future freedom depends on every Republican to round up their friends and march proudly to the polling place to cast our most important votes. The next President will probably select FOUR Supreme Court Justices. This tells me that MY vote counts !!!!!!!!!
And the judge has prettier hair than the gov does...
Is anyone listening to him... I mean her?
I tell you, I'm watching the video, and I would've made the same mistake, if they didn't have her name on the screen.
All of these speakers are YELLING in a hectoring tone.
No stately, dignifed, or even just normal speechifying for this group.
Not very appealing.
John Kerry can not even make his own peanut butter Sandwich, how can anyone expect anything from him.
Have you followed politics longer than a couple of years?
I got a feeeling we ain't seen nothing yet.. ;-)
Sorry! I missed it! I was on MSNBC listening to Russert, Matthews and Brokaw talking about how Kerry's Swift Boat guys are going to be with him Thursday and they will say that he is their leader and how this might hurt Bush beyond repair...by the way, I don't believe it. My guess is that Bush has plenty of his own guys to be with him.
She must be running for John Kerry's Health Care Czar.
The fanatics would probably prefer Kucinich to Kerry.
By the way, anyone seen Joe Lieberman?
