Kerry: Bringing Civility Back toPolitics
40
Sun, 07-25-2004 - 11:45pm

<
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."

"I remember a time when people in political parties in Pennsylvania talked to one another and actually got things done. We have to go back to those days when we can do things properly, for the people need it."

"My prayers for you, for me, for the country, for the world, are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation.">>


Only moments later...


<<Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic nominee John Kerry, told a reporter to 'shove it'>>

Gore's problem is that when he is calm, he sounds like a zombie, and then when he tries to put emotion into his speeches, he sounds like Howard Dean......

she was standing up to a hostile reporter who she knows quite well from times gone past, as one who will twist anything she says.

The speech I like the best and agreed with the most was Teresa Kerry's.

And isn't it a pity that the Bushies can't do the same.

I'm neither partisan nor a "lib" and there are many like me here.

Sorry, Elaine, but it's clear as day. On the audio you can hear her correctly the reporter for using activities instead of traits and then she goes on to say repeatedly that she never said un-American.


If you cheer her on, then you obviously

I think when nothing of substance is available to debate people try to spin trivialities..

lately I have obeserved lot of negetive posts about Kerry and party which are taken out of context to vilify them. It is really pathetic IMO.

For the last time...

You must know there is no hypocracy in this. The speech she gave was about civility in politics, the mud slinging and negetive tactic in campaigning instead of talking about issues and position on issues. The "shove it" was a personal comment to a reporter who was harrassing her, who has a long standing record against Clintons and Kerrys. So no she was not being hypocrite. These are two different issues.
