I just watched Kerry kicking ass on Letterman for the 10th time.

It just has not gotten old. One of my favorite Letterman shows in history. If you have yet to see it, I feel bad for you Kerry was spot on the entire interview. He was personable, honest, and seemed to be having a good time.

All of his answers made sense and were direct, his jabs at Bush are beautiful and actually funny.

Green Day followed with their song American Idiot. I haven't seen a band so together in ages. I have to thank them for writing a smart, catchy ass song, that does nothing but blast the media, especially when it is in heavy rotation on Clear Channel stations.

We should all thank Green Day for doing something great for the cause.

Also Kerry has been Kicking Bush ass all week, Cheney and Bush are being forced to go to places they just went to defend their vote and Kerry is just going everywhere. Kerry and the DNC just started running the best Saudi/Bush ad and you folks still aren't happy.

Damn sometimes DU makes me mad, if you aren't happy with what Kerry is saying over the last week you need to pull your head out of your ass.

People here that claim to be realistic are the ones buying into the media whore lies the most.

They think Americans are so fucking stupid that even all the families of our soldiers are going repub, news for ya 9 out of 10 US soldiers in Iraq will not vote for Bush. They think people are to wrapped up in football to even notice that they are poorer than they have ever been.

If you you believe that of your fellow Americans, you deserve for Bushco to steal the election. If you expect the worst out of people that is what you will get.

I have a few questions for those "upset" with Kerry: 1 Do you know any Gore voters voting for Bush? 2 Do you know any Bush voters voting for Kerry? 3 If we agree that the media is nothing but RW whores, then why the FUCK do you buy into their polls?

Anyway I digress, Kerry on Letterman was great, Green Day ruled and exhibited the true soul of rock music, if you haven't seen it you should click here:

Green Day performance I have ever seen. I think that their performance on Letterman is changing the world, I loved every minute of Kerry, Letterman, and Green Day, I have no problems watching it again if it kicks ass everytime.

2. I havent seen it yet but I downloaded it, I dont have any sound though
I also get mad at people sometimes because out here in Va, I have to defend Kerry against stupid rightists who believe the bs you hear about him, it really offends the crap out of me that I have to defend him against my own party in September.

4. I dont have any sound though
I recorded that video using the media player 9 codec.

Are you using media player 9 to play the video?

Try (Re)Installing the media player 9 codec to solve the sound problem.

6. Answers to your questions..
1. Yes, I do know some Gore voters voting for Bush. You and many of the other Kerry apologists consistently underestimate the effect fear and paranoia have on the electorate. I believe the polls because I know history, not just American history, but the history of elections around the world. People will do anything out of fear, even elect someone as incapable as the president. A better question for you might be: why do you think it's so unreasonable that an electorate that wholeheartedly supported the war could support the Republicans?

2. I also know some Bush voters voting for Kerry. I have seen little, however, to indicate it's a significant national trend. The war in Iraq, and to a lesser extent, the economy, have already stratified most of the voting public into one camp or the other.

3. The media is rightist, but not all polling companies are. I'll agree there are polls that are suspect, but there's enough of a spread of them showing Kerry behind that it gives me great pause for concern.

I hate to sound defeatist, but I am just not convinced enough people can be swayed to our viewpoint to put us over the top in the election.
