[rodeodance]

[ThomWV]

1. So?

[saltpoint]

2. Good thing we had representation at the conference by such a qualified

soul as John Kerry, since the selected White House inhabitant doesn't seem up to the job.

3. Even though the current U.S. Resident didn't go to Bali,

our last two elected presidents did attend -- Gore, who won the election in 2000, and Kerry, who won the election in 2004.

4. Every time I listen to Kerry speak with so much intelligence, class and certitude....

.... I want to visit the home of every 2004 Bush voter and beat them over the head with voting machine. :argh:

[saltpoint]

5. I'm in with that plan, marmar. I'll split the gas costs, too.

[marmar]

6. LOL....We'll start in Ohio....

n/t

[saltpoint]

9. Ohio it is. !

7. I'm always suspicious when CSPAN has audio difficulties.

You'd think they'd be more professional.

[marmar]

8. You read my mind babylonsister.....I was thinking the same thing....

It happened at YearlyKOS, it happened at Take Back America, it happened at one of the DC war protests......Pattern?

10. It makes me wonder if they didn't want 'us' to hear Papua New Guinea's

comments:

“What I found in Bali was a world ready to act, full of willing partners when the United States finally decides to lead,” Kerry stated. “To a person, almost everyone told me the same thing: Ultimately we can’t do this without the U.S., but we won’t wait to get started until America comes on board.”

The senator related the story of a delegate from Papua New Guinea who told the U.S. to get out of the way if it was not willing to lead. :shrug:
