I'm disappointed about the election, but at the same time...

...I'm excited to see what the great man has planned going forward.

I just wanted to get that off my chest.

1. I am too

I am convinced that he has a lot more fight in him, whatever the cause. I'd love to see him take on the election reform issue--or something else that would be very visible to the public--otherwise people will say, "why vote again for someone who lost?"

I'd also love to see Al Gore get involved again and speak out on election fraud. No better person for it than the guy who was elected in 2000.

2. I agree

I think with the Protect Every Child health plan he was just getting warmed up.

3. I can't wait till he starts pushing for that

Either way, we win :)

4. Why can't other people see that

I brought up the issue of 'Every Child Protected' the other day and a lady said that she could not support John Kerry since he did not "fight". I asked her if she believed in having health care for all children. She said that she would love to have health care for her children, but she still could not support him. :wtf:

What is wrong with people. If you don't do what they, in their expert opinion, feel you should do, they are ready to throw you, and everything they believe in out to the curb.

6. Irrational

That's all I can say.

"Ooh, I don't care if children don't have health insurance as long as I can spite John Kerry who probably doesn't even know I exist".

5. yes, i always enjoy watching him

i remember when he first spoke on the Senate floor after the elections i thought i would feel depressed again. but instead i just felt more energized and inspired of the need to continue doing and fighting for the issues Kerry and other democrats/progressives etc have fought for since even long before the 2004 elections.

Kerry has been fighting for a better environment, better veterans care, better justice for all people since he was a young man and he will keep doing it no matter where he is or what position he is in and no matter how many set backs we have.

one of the things i wish we saw more of during the campaign was his senate investigation hearings. we saw film of where he testified to the senate when he came back from the war, but i wish they had shown the stuff from when he was the senator and the hearings he led as a senator on things like iran contra, Vietnam MIA etc.

7. Probably get on Sen. Reid's investigate panel

I wouldn't be surprised if Sen. Kerry winds up on the investigative panel that Sen. Reid is forming among Dems. This panel, which would allow Dems to unoffically but sort of officially, investigate the Bush Administration is a terrific idea. I would be shocked if Kerry doesn't wind up on this committee (and whatever sub-committees come from it.) Investigations are his speciality. He would be terrific on a panel investigating what is happening to returning Iraq vets as to their medical (physicial and psychological) needs. 20 years on the Foreign relations committee should help with other committees whose purpose will be to show where the Bushies royally screwed up.

This will be very interesting. I have heard both good and bad about Kerry's standing with Dems after the election. We will see how that situation resolves in January when the Dems come out fighting on this. (Again, this panel is a terrific idea.) If Kerry gets placement, then the Dem Senate leadership sees he has a prominent role to play. (Maybe cuz he got almost 59 million votes nationally that we know of.) If he doesn't get placement, well, we'll see what that means as well. (Ah politics, ever interesting.)

8. I would be surprised if they didn't give him .....

.....a prominent role on this investigating panel. Actually I wouldn't be surprised that it was his idea or partially his idea to start it. But I will say if they don't give him a prominent role in this it would be a very dumbass move on their part and I for one would be one pissed off bitch over it. Because he should be on the panel no questions asked. There is not another democrat senator that has the kind of experience and credentials this man has. Don't get me wrong we have alot of good senators some have been lawyers and whatever but you compare his resume to any other democrat senator and show me one that has more experience and accomplishments than Kerry in this area. So if they don't include Kerry they will cut their nose off to spite their faces on this one.

As you said we will have to wait and see what happens on this. But I must say I don't think they would be dumb enough not to include Kerry. But if something happens they do I do know one thing and that is they won't stop Kerry from doing his own investigation and if they think they can they better think again. And they need to think back to the BCCI days Republicans nor Democrats stopped him then and there sure as hell won't be no stopping him now! This man is as pissed over all that has happened as the rest of us are and he is ready to whoop some ASS! And he will whoop any ass that tries to stand in his way. Remember what Kerry said during the campaign? He said to Bush and anyone that wanted to come up against him "BRING IT ON!"

I must admit this Kerrycrat is very anxious to see her hero back in action!
