EXCELLENT GODDAMN SPEECH!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Man I am more impressed by this Legion speech than by anything I've ever seen from this cat. I am profoundly encouraged.

1. Me too

I like his quiet tone. He's packed this speech with tons of facts and laid out how he wants to restore benefits for veterans. He's not acting like some good ole boy. He's looking seriously presidential.

2. Agree! Now let's see how CNN spins it....n/t

6. After his speech

Faux could only talk about how he didn't apologize for his post Viet Nam comments. Figures :mad:

4. I started out saying "oh, geees, can't they write a new speech" and

then John hit them. It was just has been advised by many. He now told them just how Bush had fucked up the war. It's the picture this country needs to know, ie., not listen to military, get rid of top guy so make military afraid to speak out, dumb shit decision after dumb shit decision. YES..and now let's have the media report it. And it kind of got me the number of people who sat on their fat asses as he spoke and didn't applaude. What else did those people want to hear?? It addressed all the issues important to them---unless they don't want vet's healthcare, etc. And it finally educated the fat fucks over just how badly this war was thought out. What--they don't care if a bunch of GI's died for nothing!! At the end, though, I think he had made an impression that was hard even the swiftboat liar brigade among them to dispute!!! Now this is what we need.....keep doing it John. Keep telling America the truth about this failure of a human being!

10. They are probably suffering cognitive dissonance

Plus, they are all sitting there thinking the guy in the seat next to them is against Kerry, so they don't want to be the one to applaud.

That doesn't mean they didn't hear what he said. Particularly since it's all patently obvious, merely pointing out the emperor has no clothes.
