SENATOR KERRY (D-MA) ISSUED THIS REBUTTAL TO RAW STORY JUST AFTER BUSH'S SPEECH....

"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number. Leadership is getting the job done. No American doubts that New Orleans will rise again, they doubt the competence and commitment of this Administration.

Weeks after Katrina, Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared.

Americans want to know that their government will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe, not speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable."
 
Kerry had his chance last year, but he couldn't be bothered to put any effort into his election campaign. He is part of the problem and should shut the hell up.
 
Right - why is it only AFTER the election that these guys get any balls? Al Gore's speeches since 2000 have been incredible - but during the campaign he was like a freaking doorstop.

Al Gore has evolved into a "Drive By Speech Giver"... I always see him popping up places, gives an incredible speech, and then he rushes away...
 
I'm sure he's right, but lets face it, he works for the government not for us. He may say stuff to improve his image and bolster support for himself, blah, blah, blah. When push comes to shove, he isn't gonna do the right thing, he is part of the government machine that is working against us.
 
Again, I agree with you. I've already said that ALL senior politicians in Washington D.C. (people with 20+ years) need to be taken out of D.C. Because if you're there for 20+ years, chances are, you're bought and paid for.

I feel you. Its cuz during the campaign they wanna play it safe. After, that if they don't win, they've got nothing too lose and both Kerry and Gore are especially pissed because they were both screwed out of becoming president.

:redcreatu <------Oh no, Al Gore's on the loose!!!! AAHHHHHH
