ATLANTA -- Michael Stanley Dukakis, a self-described "very, very long- shot" candidate just 16 months ago, last night became the Democratic nominee for president and his party's best hope to win the White House since 1976. Earlier, Sen. John F. Kerry took to the convention hall podium, telling the delegates that the "moral darkness" of President Reagan's presidency will soon end.

"A Republican president once reminded us, 'There is absolutely nothing to be said for a government of powerful men with the ideals of pawnbrokers,' " Kerry said.

"That president's name was Theodore Roosevelt. And today Theodore Roosevelt would be ashamed to be a Republican."

Said Kerry: "It is time we once again had a government of laws and not of lawbreakers."

yea if kerry knew trauma he'd probably make him secretary of defense. he could help convince kerry to start using nukes again  :)

anyway. yea that was cool of him to do that, obviously i think the guy is a waffle, but what he did was cool. And also since you mentioned it, he was a true american solider. he got a bronze and silver star, which are highly praised medals in the military. And you said he talked shit after he left the war. My view is, if you served then you have the right to talk whatever shit you want.

its like people over 18 who talk shit about the president, but dont vote.

P.s. Bush and Kerry are equally lame.
