just saw Kerry

[NJDevil]

Kerry was at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia today, it was pretty cool. I've never seen politicians speak before, so it was quite an experience. I was hoping Bush would make an appearance here too, but he was in a suburb of the city a few days ago.

How many of you guys have seen Kerry/Bush/Nader whoever, and what did you think of them?

He struck me as being a little awkward, but he definitely spoke with passion and intellect. I felt like he meant what he said, and though I had heard most of what he was talking about before, it was still incredible. Very patriotic.

If you ever have a chance to see a Presidential Candidate speak, go. I'm an independent voting for Kerry, but even my republican friend was quite impressed with it.

Cross party lines and see candidates!

I went to see Kerry in Jefferson City, MO a couple of months back. I felt he was a very good orator. No doubt about it.

You need to get out more if you think Heinz is a passionate speaker. I'm surprised you didn't lapse into a coma.

Oh, I include substance in my definition of a good orator. That's something Bush seriously lacks.

Especially when the issue of substance comes up. That empty suit has neither substance nor style. When he's done speaking, the audience is still left wondering what his position is on the most important of issues.

It might be your problem that you don't like his speaking style. After all you love speaches like "ahhh, ahhhh, fool me once, ahhh ahhhhhh shame, ahhh shame on ..."

since you seem to find those interesting, we can conclude that your intelect is that of a retarded 2 year old, so why bother listening to you.

A brilliant and mature reply. Now, leave the room. Adults are speaking.

After reading your trolls in this thread you could have fooled me!

You mean Darkhawk28? Surely you don't mean yourself? You seem to be the only one who's come here to do nothing but talk trash.

FWIW, I saw Sen Kerry speak in person about a month ago and was favorably impressed - he's clearly a very bright guy, with a lot to say, and actually dealt very well with a heckler who kept peppering him with questions. He's definitely not the most magnetic man on the planet, but he is, IMO, a more impressive speaker than most of the presidents of my lifetime (I was born in 1970).

Well you are entitled to your opinion. Gee, I bet you have never actually heard Kerry speak in person, have you? So you post is pretty much just troll droppings. Bye Bernie

No, I haven't heard Heinz speak in person. Is it different than watching him on the tube? Or listening on the radio? I mean, does his message change? Is he actually formulating a position in person? Is the media altering his message? Is Dan Rather switching tapes again?

 

[arsbanned]

Hardly. Especially in your case.
I went to see Clinton speak in the runup to his second victory. It was energizing, no doubt. I'm sure Kerry is impressive in person.

Thanks for anwering the question honestly. I don't care for Bush or his message but did see him once at a rally and he did have a way with the crowd and I could feel the energy. So it is OK to disagree with what you are hearing but somehow be taken by the experience. That is the topic at hand. Pissing into it to spout off about something you have no first hand knowledge is neither surprising nor unexpected.

Nor in you case, either. What does your blather about Clinton have to do with Kerry? They are quite the opposite when it comes to public persona. Kerry? Impressive? Why? How?

It's a shame I can't find the picture of high school (college?) kids at a Bush rally from a few days ago...they looked either half asleep or stoned bored.
