"I will deliver a major address"
"reflect on the text of this speech"

LOL, what a pathetic loser. Yeah, John, I will study your speech along with the Lincoln's Second Inaugural, as one of America's greatest orations.

Would someone tell John Kerry that the campaign has been over for almost a year? And that Bush won? And that he's still full of shi_?

John Kerry was an arrogant blowhard when I first met him in the Fall of 1963. He was smart, but didn't have a lick of common sense. And, he was a social climber who would do or say whatever it took to advance his own interests. Other than a few wrinkles and an insanely wealthy wife, he hasn't changed a bit.

Seems to me, Kerry hasn't changed much since he first walked into the Yale Political Union with raw ambition in his eyes.

What the heck did he just say? After the first sentence or two I felt myself nodding off--just like the campaign. Does he know he's boring, pompous, and mean spirited. I bet you 10 bucks he hasn't donated one thin dime to the relief effort. If he had, that's all we'd be hearing about.

your response to my call to action will define the work of the johnkerry.com community far into the future.

So, if nobody responds, will you STFU?

"Millions of Americans are beginning to realize where they fit in our democracy under Republican governance: nowhere. "

I think he means "where they fit in our Republic under Democratic governance.' The answer is, of course--not in the buses.

It's time for each and every one of us to say what needs to be said -- with the full force of our convictions, with nothing held back. This speech is my attempt to do exactly that --

LOL. He has no convictions and nothing to offer. Is the speech an empty page?

"In a few hours, I will deliver a major address at Brown University about what the rage and destruction of Katrina have revealed. I want you to be one of the first to read and reflect upon the text of this speech for a very simple reason."

"Major" address is in the eye of the beholder. Much like Cindy BullSheehan, Kerry actually thinks he is still relevant!

"It's time for each and every one of us to say what needs to be said -- with the full force of our convictions, with nothing held back. This speech is my attempt to do exactly that -- and your response to my call to action will define the work of the johnkerry.com community far into the future."

Hmmm, "nothing held back?" You mean like the FULL military records you PROMISED to release, and have yet to see the light of day? Again, the "work of the johnkerry.com community far into the future" sounds like he is ready for another run!!

"We've seen America at its best and our government at its worst. Millions of Americans are beginning to realize where they fit in our democracy under Republican governance: nowhere."

Uh, John? NOLA was under DEMOCRAT governance for over 40 years! How did that help the poor of NOLA? How did it reinforce the levees vs. building casinos and paying out graft? Try to do your homework before you embarass yourself yet again.

"I remember when you couldn’t even mention environmental issues without a snicker. But then in the 70’s people got tired of seeing the Cuyahoga River catch on fire from all the chemicals. So one day millions of Americans marched. Politicians had no choice but to take notice. Twelve Congressmen were dubbed the Dirty Dozen, and soon after seven were kicked out of office. The floodgates were opened. We got the Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water. We created the EPA. The quality of life improved because concerned citizens made their issues matter in elections."

Hmmm, the 1990 Clean Air Act. Who was president? The 1972 Clean Water Act. Same question. 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act. Same question. The 1970 EPA creation. Same question. As intrusive as these agencies are, how in hell does Kerry take credit for them, or insinuate that?

"Washington becomes a very efficient town once voters start paying attention."

They also run charlatans like you out of town.....

"Instead of allowing a few oil companies to drill their way to windfall profits, it means an America that understands we can’t drill our way to energy independence, we have to invent our way there together."

Funny, I thought the oil companies were being impeded from drilling by the likes of you! Likewise the building of needed refineries. Go ahead, Kerry, invent some oil!



Read the speech! It is typical political bloviating! The only reasons someone would risk a boredom induced coma to sit and listen to all that hot air is if they were a lefty nutcase or their hairdryer broke!

I am sooooo embarassed to be from Massachusetts, but at least my town (and many others, by the way) went with BUSH!!!

Earth to Senator 'Effen Kerry:

In case you didn't get the memo,

o You lost the election
o You have NO HOPE of getting the nomination in '08
o Hillary has excused you to crawl back into your hole.

A French candidate arrogantly wants the noxious brew of liberalism that brought N'awlins to its knees to continue unchanged. Then again Jean Francois Cheri is the very embodiment of Gallic statism and he will not hear - indeed, he will have none of - the American genius for individual intiative and capitalism that has made America the freest and most prosperous society in all of history.

Wonder if Blanco is watching Jeb Bush in Florida today to see how a hurricane is handled? Of course, Clinton/Kerry will say everyone was rich and could afford to evacuate...

BTW the National Guard is on their way in right now with a C-103 to evacuate the hospital.

John Kerry. The genius who told America during the last campaign that multilateral talks with North Korea were a big mistake and doomed to failure.

Yeah, we trust your judgment Johnny boy.

Jean Francois kinda reminds me of a Monty Python "lumberjack".
