Suggestions wanted: What should I ask or say to John Kerry?
I'll be meeting John Kerry before the elections and I'll probably have a few minutes to speak with him. I'm looking for suggestions. What should I ask him or say to him? I won't make any promises that I'll ask your question, I'm just looking for ideas.

1. Ask him if he likes grilled cheese....
:rofl: sorry couldn't resist.

uh-huh, serious question time...

Ask something simple, like after the troops are out of Iraq, how are we going to repair the damage we have done in the middle east?

9. That's a good one.
The one about the troops, I mean. Not the grilled cheese thing.

11. LMAO, that's great
But if he says no, people will say he's eliteist because he doesn't like Kraft Singles on white bread.

2. Ask him if we'll have an army of attorneys
Ready after the Repubs steal some elections on Nov 7. Not trying to be cynical, but that's the most important issue and he needs to know we're watching.

5. Tell him to leave the jokes to Comedy central

We all have to admit, it was a weak joke.

13. I had to listen TWICE
but, basically, what he said was...

If you don't study and do your homework, you'll get "stuck in Iraq".

The joke was... if you don't study you'll end up making stupid decisions, like Bush did with Iraq.

But the right has decided that Kerry was saying that if you don't study then you'll end up serving in the military and being shot at in Iraq.

It was a lame joke. And they will make their interpretation of what he said the reality that "everyone agrees"... same as Gore inventing the internet. complete distortion.

But Kerry served up a fat one by trying to make it a joke.

Kerry should at least have said "If you don't study and do your homework, you end up like our President"

7. Tell him we want more of what we saw today, from him and the rest of the D's.
There won't be those "soft on defense" concerns in voters' minds if Kerry and the rest of the Dems show they'll tear their political adversaries a new one.

16. Tell him that Takebackthemedia.com
is STILL ready to do his ads for him.

We met him and his wife while filming the Primaries when he won, and at one affair they invited us to go see Carol King WITH THEM.. such nice folks..
It being such as cold as evening we had to decline, all had the flue, or it would have been a pleasure.

That's when our add ARMY OF ONE, the 30 second one we entered in MoveOn's "Bush in 30 seconds" contest, where we came in as one of the top 14 out of 1600 entries and attended the function there in NY City to be part of the MoveOn show..

Interestingly enough we showed OUR commercial nationwide BEFORE the winning one went national, plus we had a millionaire put some money behind the ARMY OF ONE ad and we showed it 3000 times on Cable tv on the East coast during the primaries.. I got to show it on national TV when Scarborough invited me back for the second time.. he loved it, supported the Troops while bashing Bush..

Sounds like my good friend could use it right now, again. We offered it to them, since it had already been vetted for cable play and they never called us back, but I know MARVIN the Marvelous, say hi to him for me, you'll know who he is..

So TBTM is still available for him if he needs us :)

Here's the link to the original Flash ARMY of ONE that I created:

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/onearmy.html

Thanks for asking :)

19. See my post about the things GWB should apologize for --
One I left out was when dubya told an audience - "the terrorists want to do harm to this country, and so do we!"

Tell Senator Kerry to challenge Bush on who should apologize the most!
