A speech I'd like to hear

A Speech I'd Like to Hear --

"We're brave. We're free. We love justice. We love life. That's our America.

But is that the America you see peering back at us from our own headlines?
Is that the America the world sees now?"

From someone who isn't running. Too bad. I'd vote -- with great enthusiasm -- for a leader who gave such a speech.

Interesting that it sounds like Dean. Think there's a connection there? Sure is. Dean was the first time I got enthusiastic about a presidential candidate in a long time.

While I'm committed to vote against Bush, and I won't throw my vote away on a Nader, Kerry is, I fear, turning into a snoozefest as he lurches to the center. I just can't get excited about him, no matter how I try. So I guess, one more time, I'll keep my enthusiasm up on the negative side rather than the positive.
