KERRY!!

He's this guy! Who says things! He was on tv saying things, too! About stuff!

Some people disagree!


(I want a popular thread, too! :cry:)

He was awesome.

And it was a great day for Dems--with Kerry and Murtha both speaking clearly against the war and presenting PLANS while Republicans still spew crap!

No matter whose plan you think is better the great thing is that Democrats are fighting the Republicans and proving they are trying to end the occupation of Iraq.

And they were both great spokes-people for the cause.

So instead of all the fighting out here, I don't know why people aren't happy to see the Republicans cowering and McCain coming across as "one of them..."

Cheer up DU!

Kerry, Edwards, Murtha, Gore, Clinton, etc are fighting back now.

Let's unite behind all of them! And work together to beat the conmen and their Republican supporters.

Thank you! :loveya:

:hi:

I wish I would have thought of it. :)
nominated!

Thanks!

:hi:

You're just throwing softballs, now. :D

ciger-shaped?

Kosovo! that's the planet!

never yet a cigar.

You got me to thinking...the Right-wing-a-lings like to tell us that Clinton's actions led to widespread teen-age oral sex. (which is funny every time I hear it) If Clinton had such an influence on teen sex habits, how is it that the cigar thing never caught on and stuff?

Not only would he be the cause of teen sex, he would be causing teen smoking as well! You see, you kill two birds with one stone with that ceegar. What do you do after sex, huh? Smoke! And there it is all handy and stuff...

That evil bastard.

But that last thing you said about Clinton: good stuff.

Teens never thought of sex before Clinton, it was all jump-rope and Donny Osmond posters before he came along...

He stole the innocence of America's youth and stuff. It's a sad thing.

I don't think Monica was into that sorta stuff. Well, I don't think...

something to diss him about.

But I've seen Kos go WAY out of his way to diss Kerry, finding ways to spin a story about Kerry negatively even when it wasn't necessary. He takes an almost glee in it.

Dude, the primaries are over.

He has said he thinks Kerry is a decent Senator. He has yet to prove it by me.


I've also seen him diss hippies and feminists, and then post an explanation that pissed them off even further.

He doesn't seem to realizze that his site is as much about those who post there as it is about him. It's a gestalt thing. Without folks on his site posting, he's nothing.

The planet of non-capitulation.

Listen to Matthews interview Feingold the night before. Who sounds more genuine? Who is telling the truth about how they really feel?
http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/feingoldhardballnov1605.wmv

Why don't you save the primary fight for 2008?

Meanwhile, real Democrats can acknowledge that both Feingold AND Kerry are excellent, liberal Democrats. I have not and will never tear down someone as capable as Feingold just to elevate my candidate of choice. What a pity that you cannot be as mature. Karl Rove loves Democrats who try to sow division in the ranks. Congratulations.

Kos is a cancer on the party, just like anyone else who is ripping down ANY of our Democrats - be it Kerry, Feingold, Dean, or Reid - in order to advance their own selfish agenda. Disgraceful.

You just ripped on Kos, a man who raises more money and generates more interest in progressive politics than any other liberal website, hands down. Talk about tearing down your own party...

Kos is BY FAR the most popular liberal blog. They are about 3 times larger than DU. Not that I don't love DU, because this was my first and always will be my home. But please don't show your own hypocricy by ripping on Kos.

EDIT: And by the way, I never said Kerry was a cancer on the party. I do like John Kerry, but for me, he chooses his words too carefully, and rarely speaks from his gut.

You, however, seem to love to throw out baseless insults while erroneously charging others of doing the same.

And says some more. BTW F@#% those who disagree!
:toast: Here's to a pop thread!
K&R

My one and only nominated thread!

I didn't know the magic word... until today!

:party:

And so many are getting so much out of it!!!:puffpiece: :pals: :yourock: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :applause: :rofl: :rofl:

helps the recommendation process along.

Just SAY the F-word out loud. Go ahead, SAY IT!

The damn thing just FEELS like activism and stuff, don't it?

.....
Kerry, Edwards, Murtha, Gore, Clinton, etc are fighting back now.

Let's unite behind all of them! And work together to beat the conmen and their Republican supporters.

;):D

You are all too kind! But you are correct, as well!

Here's to the most popular thread EVER!!

Kerry is still a Senator and was our Last Democratic Nominee....so why shouldn't we hear from him? I don't know what "feat" is being performed here?......so the media is gonna give him 5 minutes. Thank God for all of these Small favors! :eyes:

Some people disagree!

:mad: :wtf: :nuke: :thumbsdown: :banghead: :rant:

FACT.

I am getting damn pissed about so many DUers flaming Kerry and then not knowing what he has been up to lately. Its sickening.

:grr:

..just exploiting the current trend of threads with "Kerry" in the title ending up on the greatest page, regardless of p.o.v.

BUT, I agree totally with your comment otherwise. If you weren't addressing it to the o.p. just ignore my first sentence. ;-)

:toast:

Just reacting to the recent rash of Kerry bashing on here for some reason. Im so sick of it. Hes had a great voting record, has always fought for whats right (BCCI) and is promoting a plan and asking for timetables to get out of Iraq.

I still say he's a guy that says stuff. He does it all the time, sometimes on tv, even!

Just reacting to all they negative Kerry stuff going on.

ps Im giving your thread more reply's ;)

;)

in '08.

And that would be just fine with me.

:-)

Gonna lead a coup?

Eh, might not be a bad idea. Make the transition to President Clark easier in Jan '09.

;)

We know how Kerry feels about *co, because he just took * and Cheney to the woodshed in the last couple days.

When Kerry gets on national propaganda news he doesn't take * to task WHY? because he was not talking to us, he was talking to the people who watch propaganda news.

Kerry walked a fine line to try and get support from the Repugs WHICH WE NEED to get the troops out of Iraq as safe as possible.

While I agree more with Murtha, his way is not a way to garner support WHICH WE NEED to get the kids out of Iraq. Especially when you are on national propaganda tv, talking to the war mongers, that are clueless to most of the "behind the scenes news".

Kerry was flawless tonight in doing just that, getting support, thats why *co was able to put Murtha in to the same category as Michael Moore and not Kerry.

Kerry did not fall in to their trap. (my two cents)

:toast:

(He didn't really - my dog is asleep on my bed right now).

:rofl:

Apologies to Wetzelbill (who I think has coined some new DU phrases): I am so sick of...

He might want to shoot your dog. If he could.

Others disagree. Especially Wetzebill, who still has a Kerry thread to do.

I've been waiting. He owes you.

C'mon Bill, let's get a move on!

He's really a Republican plant. I may not say these things, but... it makes you think.

:scared:

:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

Isn't he working for McCain?

:scared:

It's worse than I thought :cry:

idea.
:yoiks:

He could become "rambunctious." :scared:

Dog made a funny! :7

in command the whole time during both interviews.

I had cable...:( all i can do is read transcripts, cath stuff on cnn, cspan, and here in DU...

I'm so proud I voted for him in the NH primary last year. He was the dark horse then, but he came from behind and nearly won the race.

Kerry's got a bit of the devil in him too. He couldn't resist yanking Wolf's chain tonight about 2008. He got Wolfie all excited about having a scoop, but if you listened to Senator Kerry, he didn't say anything that he hasn't said all along. You could tell he enjoyed toying with Wolf though. Can't say as I blame him: the Senator is trying to concentrate his efforts on 2006 and everyone keeps asking him about 2008. A little payback tonight.

It was a great Kerry night! Loved the Hardball interview. It was so very Kerry to decide to play Hardball on his home court. He did the same thing with Wolfie. Great strategy. Bring the interviewer to his Congressional office. Very smart. Remind them that they are speaking with a United States Senator of no uncertain clout. WTG Johnny!

I don't mind if you don't agree. I am just trying to remain part of the reality-based community.

:)

I love Kerry, just not for pres in '08. :hide:

He's been Howard-Deanish of late, and that is a good thing.

Stop saying things about stuff!

Kerry!

and I think it's wisest to have the guys there talk about the stuff that comes up when things are on the table.

Go loud and proud about stuff, Kerry! We got your back and such!

Kick those Repubs in the stuff when they start saying things!! WooHooo!!!

Hey, that feels A LOT better! :hi:

Well said!

(although some may disagree.)

are open to stuff even when we think other things about that stuff.

We respect one anothers stuff.

We learn from each others stuff.

We check out each others stuff.

Sure, sometimes we jump each others stuff. But that's no big thing.

:bounce:

"Your stuff is just shit, but my shit is stuff!"

Then, that stuff is some goooood shit. ;-) (I'm winking)

:hug:

I was wondering this very thing about John Kerry just earlier today, and you've completely cleared things up for me.

Nominated...next stop, the Pulitzer committee. :)

Clarity. It's what I'm all about.

It's why I always check out your posts first.

There ya go.

This thread now has a flamey thingie!

:woohoo:

Thanks! "K&R" as they say!

The media tried to say they were all there for the Boss. Sure.

80,000 people. I was awestruck by those pictures. I still am. The Cleveland event on election eve is availabe in the CSPAN vault. It has an equally massive crowd.

How I miss the things there...

nt....

But in a good way.

This also causes pelvic congestion:

I hear ya, baby.

Get it, Kick.. Boxer! Bwhahaha! I kill myself.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: it's so bad it's good.

And you got an extra kick for your stellar thread, to boot!

Kerry on!

:rofl: It's like passing through the looking-glass tonight!

:kick:

Somebody-Who-Didn't-Say-Something-I-Liked-With-the-Exact-Words-I-Liked: too little, too late! I will never vote for you or your children, or your dog, or your dog's children again, as long as I live!

I'm for the other guy that said different things, stuff I liked.

Many people disagreed!

I had to kill them.

Was the thing well hidden in stuff?

Y'know, there's such a thing as the law and stuff.

I'd have to kill you too and stuff.

:smoke:

to star in one of your "stuff-films." :scared:

Really, they're good family fun, bring the kids!

Coming soon to a theater near you:

I kill people who say things I don't like.

And the sequel:

I kill people who say things I don't like. And stuff.

I'd say You've got the bastid's formula down pat.

Put your hand on the rad-e-o.

Heal... Heal.... Hea!

And Kerry was excellent. I posted earlier in the so-called anti-Kerry thread and wrote he rambled and didn't leave you with anything memorable to take away from a speech or session like this.

That is generally true but not in the Blitzer segment. The "why would anyone want to give this incomptent administration another chance to be incompetent?" was classic and memorable and the type of sound bite mastery we needed throughout last fall.

Every time I watch him there is part sadness (knowing he should have been President) and confusion (how could anyone vote for * w/Kerry in sight)!?!

Beyond my realm of common sense thinking.

good stuff, even (some people disagree)

He's been saying some damn good stuff - on tv, too. (Some people disagree)

Or, they say "too little, too late", or other stuff like that. Fact is, they wouldn't really let him say this stuff on tv before (some people disagree with that, too)

I hope KERRY keeps on saying stuff, and I hope the other dems will keep saying stuff, on tv and stuff, and I don't care which guy anyone wanted, as long as they're saying good stuff. Especially if it's on tv or in the newspaper.

It's all about the stuff we hear they said, and I'm hearing a lot of good stuff....

that question, did they?

Why would you ask such a stupid question. Of course he would not be in favor of it. Unfortunately, HE DOES NOT WORK IN THE PENTAGON.

Sorry, my psychic biorhythm is down,
so I don't know, nor would I even presume to guess,
what his position is.

Is there some reason he won't speak up?
In the past, Kerry has seemed very concerned with
war crimes.

Just because he works in the US Senate,
is not an excuse for silence.

spoke out again now, it would be redundant, superfluous, otiose, surplus to requirements, vain. There is so much, so many topics a leader might pronounce on, that they have to pick and choose.

on this after the issue has been investigated more thoroughly. John Kerry does not want to go after our troops. He wants to go after the higher ups. Just like the torture issue, this is something that goes back to how this war is being waged by those in charge. Kerry called for Rumsfeld's resignation a long, long time ago. He wants to take Rummy down bad. Senator Kerry operates on the "Iceberg Principle" in that 90% of what he does is beneath the surface. He's got extensive investigative and prosecutorial skills. Don't underestimate Senator Kerry. He is against such weapons, but he has to be careful not to let criticism fall on our soldiers. The people responsible will be called to task. It may take a long time, but it is coming.

Kerry is speaking to the Senate about the Republican "swiftboating" of Murtha!

Go Kerry!

about Murtha what the senate should have been saying about Kerry getting attacked last year.

Don't mess with Kerry - he is on a roll.

even when we sometimes disagree with them. Kerry doesn't deserve to be bashed simply because you don't like or understand his position.

He's my president. (Well, after Bill.)

Stop forgetting Al, and stuff.

I just figured having two presidents was enough, but I'll make room for Al, too.

and stuff.

She's Crunchy. :popcorn:

Starting with "It's a great day!" and heading into talk of killing.

This thing is like a Grandma Moses painting in words, and that kinda stuff.

"And what about that shit you said last December!! Get a fucking real job!"

*lurches for gun*

I use a long-handled spoon.

I'm handy that way.... *ahem*

I do use a looong syringe thing to pump butter into the bird, it's very tasty and kinky, too.

Or maybe it's Kerry's thing?

Hon, put the gun DOWN and Tom jr. will make you another martini...

LOL

:rofl:

Just this once! :D

kerry rocks. And it looks like you have your popular thread :-)

Yay, me!

I'd like to thank Senator Kerry for making this all possible!

:hi:

brilliant idea, deserving of all the accolades it receives.



My favorite part: the title.

A pic I took in Yellowstone.

Thanks! :loveya:

(Okay, yours is still better than mine, but I do my best.)

Tear 'em a new one JK. Keep their feet to the fire.


BTW, I once had to see a guy about a thing...and...and...Sorry, I got nothin'...but then some would say...never mind.

HE ROCKS. My loins tingle when he gets all fire and brimstone like that!

BRING IT, BITCHES!

I am ready to do my patriotic duty!

Now where's the good Senator?

:evilgrin:

sleeping.

Do we have a drooling smiley?

The drool is getting all over the message thread.....

Great smileys! Perfect!

Happy Thanksgiving.....gobble...gobble

I don WANNA GO TO THE LOOUUUNNGGEE....!!! :bounce:

I said "Kerry". Therefore I demand that my thread stay rat cheer in GDP!!

:P

Hahahaha! You Demorecrates suck! Look who is in the White House! A reel Fighter Pilot! Not some librul who lied to get his Purple Hearts! While that Librul Kerry was doing stuff he would lie about in Vietnam, George Dubya was whipping ass on the Vietcong who were tryin' to cross the Rio Grande!!!!!

Kerry shot my dog too. The one I don't have.

Wetzelbill's imaginary dogs. You are playing into the Republican's hands with every gunshot that only WBill can hear.

Kerry was older than me, but I share the memory of that time.

He said that for people of his generation it was a lost weekend after the assassination. Until RFK's brother, his colleague, gave a eulogy that helped all know how to remember RFK.

RFK still has tender place in my heart.

Here is the last part of Teddy Kennedy's eulogy for Bobby, which I believe Kerry referred to:

"...My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.

Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world.

As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him:

"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.""

http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/ekennedytributetorfk.html

All this is especially poignant as we're coming up on the anniversary of the assassination of JFK, Nov 22, 1963.
