John Kerry is Reclaiming Our Flag from the bastards! God Bless America!

3. That was fun, but definitely not the most powerful
He's given some remarkable speeches and it's sad so many people listen to the pundits instead of the candidates.

6. Mine too and he took some lines from that
on the need to speak truth to power.

Reclaiming the flag is something that comes naturally to him - he has a HUGE flag flying at his house in Boston.

5. I mis-spoke..... I would rank his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as...



....unequaled.

But what he said tonight was exactly what needed to be said today.

12. On that I agree - he said tonight what NEEDED to be said. Something no bigname Dem would dare to do
in 2004, lest they get on Rove;s radar screen when he was at his most powerful.

Read the speeches from the best known Dems in 2004, and you'll see what a contrast tonight has been.
