Listened to John Kerry speak today in the Senate. VERY powerful. True leadership.

1. The man stands tall by the yardstick and taller still on every

other gauge of public service and citizenship.

Shame on anybody who voted for a vacuous monkey instead of a long-serving public leader.

Shame on them.

[blm]

And shame on Dems who stabbed him in the back..............repeatedly.

Because they did not want an Open Government Democrat in the WH.

6. Be Still My Heart! From your lips... nt

10. I think maybe the cards are leaning more to Gore/Kerry.

Undergod knows it will take an awesome amount of mental power to overcome 8yrs of full on fascism.

7. I just love this man. I wrote him a couple of days ago expressing my great gratitude

for his massive and courageous efforts on behalf of our great country and for a little pissant like me. I told him - in case he gives a damn - that history will smile upon him while the rabid dogs of the current regime are properly relegated to their rightful places in the sewer. I told him, I hope you don't feel lonely as you do your work, because so many of us support you, and do not take you for granted.
It's an honor to be a small part of this thread acknowledging this great man (seriously).

[blm]

11. You said it well - his work is LASTING history and too many take it for granted

and rail against him ignorantly.

8. I hope he runs again some day

Maybe someday this country wll be mature enough to like people based on crap other than "ooo I would like to have a beer with him". Besides I don't even get why someone would want to have a beer with an uncouth frat-boy who likes to make fart jokes :crazy:...

[ohtransplant]

9. Kerry is a real statesman.

He should be President. It's that simple.

He's what I would create if I was making a President from scratch.

Lead on Senator!

13. Remarks as prepared here -- Anybody know about a CSPAN repeat?

17. IF you liked what he said today

drop him a note at his blog and tell him. Tell him you watched the speech on C-Span and then let him know what you think.
