Reply #19: I admire Kerry too . [View All]

He gave us Democrats needed energy . It was destined for him to be the 44th President . Yes , I truly think it was . I did not know much about Kerry before this Presidential Election . But his story is one to really know about . When Kerry talked about AMERICA , I felt like I was a a part of his America . When Bush talks about America , I do not feel included .

I think Kerry got better and better as the campaign went along - I think he did damn good . The Commonwealth of Massachusetts sure is lucky to have Senator Kennedy and Senator Kerry represent them in the US Senate . I envy that - especially now that my state will be represented by two rethugs . Kerry truly inspired me to go continue my studies toward my Political Science degree . I am serious . I feel like writing a letter , letting them know that they inspire all of us to keep on fighting for what is right for all of America ! I cried when I heard that he was conceding . I could not bare turning on my TV to watch his concession speech because I was heartbroken , distraught , weak , sad , mad . I thought about all those people I helped register to vote , all the signs spent made , signs passed out , watching rallies on CSPAN , the energy from the Democratic National Convention . I flew back home to the US from Germany because I really wanted Kerry to win . I wanted to vote in person . I voted in person . I stood in line . Proudly . I voted for Kerry and I am proud . Damn it I am proud . I am Proud and Mad Democrat ready to fight damn it !

Today I am still in shock and mad , I am gonna be this way for 4 years . I am going to join my local Democratic party - this party needs some new blood . I don't care , I am not throwing away my Kerry / Edwards signs , stickers , buttons , bumperstickers . We had a good year . I am gonna be mad for 4 years but I am more pumped to FIGHT .
