Saw Kerry the Other Day

Not really. More like I heard him. So many people showed up. It spilled out into the streets--8,000 was the published number. I thought it was a good showing.

Kerry rallied the crowd around his message for his can do America. The United States will surely benefit from his leadership. Back in March, I was a Deaniac. I still am. Oh, I know that Dean is nowhere near as liberal as I am, but he spoke out early and loud against the invasion of Iraq. He wanted to give us healthcare. I went to see him and it was electric. The fire in his belly reverberated with us.

We still love him. But the reality is John Kerry. He's as American as ketchup. And we're going to elect him President of these here United States. Howard came here with John, to let us know that he wanted us to give our time and energy to Johnny Ketchup.

The more I know about John, the more I like him. If you're out there John, I say to you: Thank You! I thought you were a little Kennedy. Teddy got away with murder and you were guilty by association. I mean, you spent two decades in Congress with him. What else was I supposed to think? I knew you were in neck-deep with this (thankfully) liberal crook.

You know what made me change my mind? The FBI. If Kerry posed enough of a threat to merit investigation while he simply followed his conscience and had the courage to take Direct Action against an unfathomable atrocity, then he deserves my vote. He has a vision for the future in addition to not being George Bush.

I wish Ralph Nader would realize that.
