Show Yer Love For John Eddy!
Kick it a couple of times for the man and show some love.

Not only was "lil" John a pleasant surprise, but to say things in front of millions of americans that have not been forgotten by some of us, ... things like saying to his face that Cheney voted against the release of Nelson Mandela from prison. Cheney was against MLK thing, Cheney is doing the Halliburton thing, and on and on.

I literally leapt from my chair with joy. I couldn't stifle my body. It made me get up spontaneously and shout.

It was much more than I expected. He was soooo in Cheney's face. Like he wanted to pick a fight. He got away with it because of his command of facts. Every statement and question was merely an open door for him to go through. And go through them, he did. Yes Lord he did.

Even my wife commented to me at one point during the debate, that Cheney had the kind of look on his face that indicated, "respect".
We were laughing as I started mimicking Da Ali G - "respect".

I'm a diehard democrat. I have to vote for who ever we come up with. I was a tadbit lukewarm about this ticket. But I must say, that first, Kerry pleased me by looking like a real president in his debate. He made me satisfied for the first time, I mean, satisfied, with our choice.

Then the other John comes out swinging and did the same for me. He has done his homework. I feel very comfortable with him being the VP
on the ticket.

They can spin and lie all they want. John-John is the right direction for america right now.

So come on DU. Don't leave me hanging. Please don't leave me hanging. Let's show some love. Show your love.

:party: :toast: :bounce: :smoke: :dem: :loveya:

And I am sending my love Kerry and Edwards' way with every fiber of my tired old being. May they prevail. May they turn the country around. May we ALL be wise enough to vote them into office and...

Why Don't Americans Care?

Do you know who Halliburton is? Dick Cheney? How about Karl Rove? Alas, most Americans don't


By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Wednesday, October 6, 2004

Let's be honest. Percentage-wise, few people in America really give much of a crap about what's going on in the hallowed halls of politics and power.

This is what we in the media and maybe you in the media-consuming audience tend to forget far too easily: This country is simply jam-packed with millions of people who have no time for, or interest in, politics, or media, or environmental policy, or education, or global issues, or which presidential candidate lied his ass off about which aspect of his military career and which Orange Alert is totally bogus and how many soldiers are dying for what imbecilic war.

It seems hard to believe. But the general rule of thumb is that major cities are slightly more attuned due to aggressive media saturation and how issues tend to make themselves known more urgently, more immediately, whereas Middle America is a scattershot conglomeration of the politically apathetic and the actively disenfranchised, full of people far too busy with their lives and kids and jobs and zoning out on "Fear Factor" and "Monday Night Football" to care about following the elitist, ever dire dramas playing out on the nation's gilded stages.

Most Americans, in other words, have no idea what the hell a Halliburton is. Or a Karl Rove. Or a Donny "Shriveled Soul" Rumsfeld. Or a Lockheed Martin. Or a Carlysle Group. Or have any idea that Saddam had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11. Or that WMDs were never found. Or that President Bush has taken more vacation time than any president in U.S. history. Or that Jesus thinks Dubya is "sort of a dink." Or where Iraq is on a map.
