Need help in finding a quote of JK's in his '04 DNC speech

[fedupinBushcountry]

I know I could go watch the speech, but I just can't today, it would just make me sob. I was reading polls today and they compared them to older polls and in '04 in NO WAY was Bush ahead in economy, health,the direction of the country. It amazes me how a small percentage of people get a microphone day in and day out when back in '03 and '04 with 70% of the people not wanting war but diplomacy, another high percentage thinking the country was going in the wrong direction,etc. etc. In fact that same small percentage of people had it back then too.

This teabagathon( ty Earl G.) has riled me up. I am sick of seeing God used as an ad for the lunatics, I mean wtf? This country was founded on freedom of religion, how dare those hypocrites stomp on everyone else's faith. JK said something about God in his DNC speech, I just can't remember the exact wording, I know you Kerrycrats will remember.

This one sign at the lunatic march this weekend really said it all " Yo Obama, my Dad is my ATM not yours". They are all about themselves not a damn bit of humanity in them.

Rant over :rant:

1. We pray humbly that we are on God's side

And let me say it plainly: In that cause, and in this campaign, we welcome people of faith. America is not us and them.

I think of what Ron Reagan said of his father a few weeks ago, and I want to say this to you tonight: I don't wear my religion on my sleeve, but faith has given me values and hope to live by, from Vietnam to this day, from Sunday to Sunday.

I don't want to claim that God is on our side.

KERRY: As Abraham Lincoln told us, I want to pray humbly that we are on God's side.

2. What a humble beautiful statement

I didn't realize until hearing the Pepperdine speech how deep, genuine and real his religious values are and how much they inform his values.

(fedup - If the issue is having religious values and actually having them guide your politics, the Pepperdine speech is probably the most detailed statement of religious values of any politician - http://www.pepperdine.edu/pr/releases/2006/september/kerry.htm )

3. Thanks, Tay

That was perfectly said, sigh.

5. Thank you for finding Senator Kerry's wonderful comments and posting them.

I often remember the comments about not wearing his religion on his sleeve.

4. I agree with you. The hardness and coldness in them is chilling.

I have tried to talk with some Republicans about health care to correct some of the misconceptions. And my experience and their collective comments can be summed up thusly, I don't want my money to be used for anyone but me. If they don't have something, let them work for it. If they can't afford health care, that is their problem. They can still get care in the ER and "I" have to pick up that cost.
I honestly believe many of these "Teabaggers"are using issues like health care and the deficit to mask their racial opposition to President Obama. I am saddened by the phony outrage of these people and the ignorance they continue to promote.
