7. Talking about ribbons vs medals

There's no question about what I did...an effort by the Republicans to challenge him the day they did McCain and Cleland...They're not doing it to me...shows how desparate they are!

:headbang:

[MoonRiver]

9. kick, kick, kick!!!

:kick:

[Tatiana]

8. He's sounding good so far.

He's got some of the fire back. This administration has a record they want to "run away from."

Tweety pressing him on the medal-throwing issue. Kerry says that they used the terms "medals" and "ribbons" interchangably.

He's doing very well. Interrupts Tweety and finishes his thought. He is proud of shedding blood for his country.

HELL YEAH!

[Hepburn]

44. Loved it!!

Got off of defending himself and went after the Chimp! If Kerry can keep this up on the campaign trail, IMO, he WILL beat Bush! Hopefully he will stay mad! Rock on, John!!!! :headbang:

[Lugnut]

11. They're desperate

They spent $70 million dollars to attack someone who hasn't even officially been nominated. They're running out of steam.

:)

[wyldwolf]

12. Kerry about Bush's service record: "Acountability time!"

[TacticalPeek]

14. How sweet the sound!

Accountability, that's all it would take to dump this gang.

:kick:

[sandnsea]

13. He's tearin' it up

I liked "accountability time" too!!!

[Tatiana]

15. Oh damn..... Kerry is on FIRE!!!!!!

"Are you stronger as a result of having gone through (the experience of military service)?"

YES.

He doesn't bat an eyelash. He's very strong, very firm, very confident. Dare I say, very... PRESIDENTIAL!

[BlueStateGirl]

17. WTF was that ad? I'd love it if there were some way he

could come back from thebreak and slam that ad.

What a steaming pile of bullshit.

[Tatiana]

31. OMG... that ad was PERFECT.

After Kerry outlines his stellar miltary record and brings up the history of deferrments for Cheney as well as Bush's awol status in the Air Natl Guard, they then turn to this ad. Honestly, coming on directly after Kerry's statements, the ad was HILARIOUS. Kerry soft on terror? Ha ha ha ha, he's got three purple hearts!

Then Kerry comes back and slams the administration even more about their lies and recklessness.

[goclark]

22. Talking About Jobs

Asked about Bush making mistakes,
Kerry: Bush made "colossal mistakes, without a plan to win the peace."
Did he make a mistake on WMD: It bothers me that they have not made an effort to get to why the intelligence was bad.

STRONG!!!

Vice President won't testify without the President by his side.
Tweety: They aren't the Menendez Brothers!

K: He said to ask Bush why he won't testify alone

T: Was he mistaken about the "Mission Accomplished"
K: I believe it was a miscalculation!
Tweety asked should Bush have fired some people
K: Yes, he should have fired some people
We know they exaggerated, gave misinformation.

[kskiska]

29. Menendez Brothers

Maybe * and Dickie will show up at the hearings wearing nice soft sweaters like the Menendez Bros. wore for their trial.

[LittleApple81]

Isn't it ironic that a Bush* commercial tearing Kerry came in the

middle of the interview?
I wonder if Kerry knows that happened?

[DancingBear]

16. Attention Kerry handlers!

Please bottle the John Kerry currently on Hardball and take him along on every campaign stop from here until November.

If you do, you can rest assured his next stop will be 1600 Pennsylvania.

[wyldwolf]

18. funny...he always comes across that way to me

Even when I was a staunch Clark supporter in the primaries, Kerry came across in the debates like this.

[sandnsea]

30. Me too!

That's why he won. THIS is called "electability". He is intelligent, well spoken and knows everything about everything!

[maddezmom]

19. good to hear it!!

wish I got to see it. :(

[DancingBear]

27. This is, without question, the best I have seen him to date

Remember, everyone, that this guy is one MOTHER of a closer.

I am hopeful that we are beginning to see today what all of us have hoped for. With his volley against * today (re: National Guard records) and this Hardball performance, perhaps Round 2 is beginning, and the challenger is showing one hell of a right cross.

[Hepburn]

47. Should be on later tonight...

...I saw it, but I am gonna watch it again! IMO: It was GREAT!! If he keeps this up and attacks all the Bush-it instead of explaining the crap charges the Repugs are throwing around, no doubt in my mine: HE WILL WIN! Man, when he gets on his mark, he is awesome! :toast:

[Tatiana]

34. Hopefully he brings Wes with him!!! n/t

[Lugnut]

20. Testifying together

You want people to testify one their own on their own two feet. :)

[LittleApple81]

21. Tweety: Cheney and Bush are not the Menendez brothers! LOL

[Cocoa]

23. ouch!

what an insult to the Menendez Bros., to be compared to Bush/Cheney.

[mzmolly]

42. LOL

;)

[MoonRiver]

24. No, they're worse.

:mad: But at least he made the comparison. :D

[OneTwentyoNine]

25. Do the math Tweety,how many did the Menendez brothers kill?????

How many have Bush and Cheney killed??

[Tatiana]

26. "Why did they go to war with Iraq?"

Kerry - They did it because they could. They thought they could get away with it.

Amen.

[sandnsea]

28. Neocon agenda

Of changing the region. Because they thought they could get away with it. YEAH!!!!

[OneTwentyoNine]

43. Damn!! That Kerry quote is a keeper! GO GO GO!!

[Pepperbelly]

32. deleted by self

.

[Pepperbelly]

33. I think John Kerry is getting pissed off and ...

it's about damn time!

Look at the way these sociopathic, self-righteous, smug, arrogant, disaffiliated, rat-bastard sons-of-bitches wallow in whatever filth they want, whatever innuendo and smear without EVER having to bear account for their words or their deeds.

Fucking A, I say. The smarmy popinjays NEED their ass handed to them. Their lies and deceits and hypocrisies need to be exposed.

I truly hope that John Kerry confronts Bush face-to-face in the debates about the crap his surrogates spew on a daily basis.

:grr:

[loudsue]

55. Pepperbelly!!! Where the hell you been???

I haven't seen you since Wes dropped out of the race!!

:hi: Where in the hell've you been????

:kick:

[Pepperbelly]

58. what's important is that I am back ...

:hi:

[Tatiana]

35. "I understand that Karen Hughes was born in Paris." - Kerry

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Ummm, what was that about Kerry looking French?

Kerry was sooooooo on tonight!

[rumguy]

36. he said that? damn, that's funny

[Tatiana]

41. I promise he said it.

Tweety was talking about how low the Republicans would stoop to discredit Kerry. Kerry said they had to because they didn't have a record to run on, they had a record to run away from. Tweety mentioned some Republican who said Kerry looked French. That was when Kerry made the comment about Karen Hughes being born in Paris. It was funny as hell.

[Lugnut]

40. Don Evans

Said he looks French. Kerry said they have no record to run on.

[OneTwentyoNine]

46. Ah...the French looking Karen Hughes eh?? Bawhahahaha....GO GO! nt

[DancingBear]

38. "Maybe they're getting a little nervous in The White House,

because I understand that Karen Hughes was born in Paris."

Great line!!!

Even Tweety liked it - laughed and said "tit for tat."

[trumad]

48. She sure was...LOL

[Norquist Nemesis]

60. That was a good shot

The best part of the whole interview! And great timing! LOL

[SideshowScott]

39. THIS is the Kerry the GOP Press is going all out to hide..

WOW..Whenever I get to hear the chance to hear him talk unfiltered from the Bush Backers in cable news I always get impressed.
People REALLY think Bush is the better choice..Really????
Kerry Kicks ass..He if he can get past the whores and directly to the people then Bush has no chance. Thats what Kerry's biggest problem IMHO..That the Bush friendly press is going all out to keep people from hearing him talk

[jewishlib]

49. Kerry was impressive on Lardball

I really came away impressed by Kerry on Lardball, even though lardball tried to trip him up.

[powergirl]

45. MASTERFUL - WE NEED A PRESIDENT THAT CAN SPEAK IN COMPLETE SENTENCES

Kerry will be a refrehing claim to President Beavis who takes pride in not reading books and complaining about "elitists who use big words." Kerry has to win or I need to move!

[Generator]

50. That interview convinced me he is the right man at the right moment

in history. Honestly, he even forced Chris to keep his mouth shut. Didn't it seem like Chris was looking at him in awe? Yeah, a pol that tells the truth. Amazing.

Maybe he wasn't the best senator, maybe this is what he was born for. He was so likeable and so easy about it all. He is a warrior. Go Kerry!

[Tellurian]

51. Kerry was GREAT!

But don't think for a moment the Bush team doesn't have their profilers and psyc consultants observing Kerry's actions and reactions. I'm sure they are devising methods to trip him up to make him look foolish...you know, press his buttons, so to speak, to discredit his viability as presidential timber.

Kerry needs a Carville out front running interference for him...and a few others for back up. It would be a mistake to leave Kerry up all alone to fight this mob of man eating carnivores. He needs to find a few shameless spokespeople to absorb some of the flack who are capable of flacking them right back.

[Sparkly]

53. Where's my General?

Not that he's "shameless," but he's a great spokesman for Kerry -- especially when it comes to defending his record on and in the military.

[Tellurian]

56. Yup, I was thinking the same thing...

if Dean, Clark, and Kucinich would join in...it's a start...

O'Franken might be fun later on, though. :)

[Avalux]

54. Kerry was excellent tonite

One thing he said stuck with me - the GOP has spend tens of millions of dollars going after him, smearing him - and it's only APRIL. The repugs are scared shitless, otherwise they wouldn't be foaming at the mouth already, desperately grabbing at straws. Whatever strategy Kerry's playing, I love it.

[Lex]

57. kicking for those watching on replay

kick

[Disturbed]

59. Yes!

J. Kerry needs to do way more TV. He was outstanding. ;)
