Kerry's getting stronger and stronger everytime i see him ... i'm very close to an endorsement ...

Here's a little of what he said (please excuse a feeble memory):

1. when i'm inaugurated, we're going to scour that 14,000 page tax code ... companies are free to export jobs if they want to ... but we're going to remove every tax break that's currently being given to these Benedict Arnolds ...
2. i'm going to sign an Executive Order that says that no government employee can work as a lobbyist for 5 years after he leaves government service ...
3. we're going to make it a law that any meeting between a lobbyist and a government employee must be fully disclosed ...

and finally, and i thought he made this last point very powerfully, he talked about terrorism ... he said that fighting terrorism, while partly a military effort, is largely a police and intelligence gathering operation ... and it requires the full cooperation of countries all over the world ... he said when he assumes office, one of his first actions will be to announce to the community of nations that it's a new day in America and America will rejoin the community of nations ...

this last point really links bush's failures in fighting terrorism to the arrogance bush has shown that alienated friends and allies all over the world ...

regardless of what candidate you're supporting, Democrats should not find fault with anything Kerry said in this speech ... if other candidates have said the same or similar things, i applaud them ...
