1. He must have read the memo
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 03:17 PM by OzarkDem
Short and concise. Its not hard.

Still, what is "moral authority?" is there a more vivid catch-phrase that can describe that point?

10. Health care is a huge issue among voters
I wish Dems would talk about it more. Its become a silent crisis in this country.

12. Fear of corporate sponsors will keep them quiet.
Nothing will change that until we get private money out of the process entirely. Until then the agenda will continue to be set by the big donors and fuck all you "little people".

11. As long as #2 or #5 includes killing Bin Laden ...
I'm onboard all the way!

The Iraq fiasco has prevented us from catching the man who planned 9-11. :mad:

Thanks Senator Kerry !

14. "Some say" is not a popular source around here.
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 09:42 PM by tabasco
Very frequently used by Fox News "analysts."

15. Gee, I thought from the number "5" in the title...
...you were referring to the number of seconds Kerry devoted to fighting the voter fraud that made him lose.

Yes, that is snarky, but BESIDES being true, it points up how these "clever" thread titles are so lousy. If you had said "Kerry's 5" or "5 Principles for the Future" or something else, we'd know what we were reading...or know why we should skip it.
