John Kerry responding on ABC

[Tripper11]

Watching now

[aquart]

1. He also spoke on NBC.

I guess he's been anointed.

[Tripper11]

2. How was he there?

And I will assume he is saying the same thing on ABC?

[dflprincess]

3. Thanks for the tip

He's giving a better response that Pelosi or Daschle.

[hellhathnofury]

4. HAHAHAHA...He's getting called on his votes.

[hellhathnofury]

6. No John you just voted to give him a blank check.

Why did Kennedy see it but not you?

[regnaD kciN]

25. Because...

...Teddy wasn't planning on running for president in 2004, and so did not need to come off as both pro- and anti-war at the same time. :puke:

[Terwilliger]

5. Jennings going after Kerry

[hlthe2b]

9. I don't think Jennings is really going after him...

He's keeping questions going, but that's ok. It's a bit disjointed as always because of distant "feeds" and their inherent time delays.

[ACPS65]

7. Too bad it's not Dean.

"You sit down and shut up!"

[CatWoman]

16. talking to the man in the mirror?

[aquart]

8. He wants the Patriot Act.

Screw him.

There is NOTHING in that legislation worth keeping. NOTHING.

I am horrified. Horrified.

And the excuse that he was in a crowd of 99 other gutless wonders does NOT cut it with me.

I'm revolted.

[Hippo_Tron]

14. I don't know enough about the act to have a complete opinion...

But I know the Patriot Act is a HUGE piece of legislation. For example, my dad spoke to a group of bankers about its regulations to prevent banks from dealing with terrorists.

[aquart]

23. They passed it without reading it.

That should tell you something.

[truth2power]

10. He's skating on the Patriot Act

Stumbling. Says some of it is good and some bad. That would be enough for me not to vote for him. I'll take Dean.

edit> Yeah, what Aquart said: screw him!

[bvar22]

11. Much better than the wimpy response...

...from Pelosi & Daschle.

Thanks for the tip.

[Osiris]

12. He's pointing out...

that Dubya was discriminating against homosexuals...he's defending the Constitution...he's pointing out the lies of the SOTU.

Maybe we're hearing from the next President?

I love what he's saying!

[Stephanie]

17. Osiris, is that your actual name?

I think I know you! Welcome to DU!

[Osiris]

21. I'm known, eh?

How do you know me?

$5 to the first person who can figure out my old sn. :evilgrin:

[pasadenaboy]

22. actually if you listen,

he said he agrees with him in principle, just not in a constitutional amendment.

[Stephanie]

13. Equal Protection Under the Law

not BIGOTRY

[aquart]

20. But he talks about the Patriot Act etc. being okay

if good and just men are in charge.

That tells me he doesn't get it AT ALL.

The Founding Fathers knew you don't give ANYBODY this kind of power.

Oh, I wanted to like him, he's tall.

But I can't. I can't.

[Bushknew]

15. Kerry’s poor judgement

for believing in W.

I’m so glad Peter read that letter, a home run question.

[gauguin57]

18. did peter just dismiss Kerry,

saying "it's no fun trying to interject"? Or am I hearing things?

[Bushknew]

27. He did say that because …

When Kerry realized this was going to be a real interview, he started going on and on while
Peter was trying to interview him.

[One Taste]

19. Is Clark still going to be on abc?

[Bushknew]

24. If Kerry gets the nomination, he will

depress the Democratic vote, not energize it.

The questions posed to him tonight on ABC will dog him.

[BeatleBoot]

26. Exactly

I don't think Iowa will vote for him.

And the three lawn signs that went up on my street today will probably come down in the morning.

dang!
