Welcome home Bill Clinton

Let me just say, Bill Clinton rocks. His speech tonight was pure gold for the Democratic party. Take these lines to the bank, John Kerry:

On the other hand, the Republicans in Washington believe that America should be run by the right people — their people — in a world in which America acts unilaterally when we can and cooperates when we have to.

They believe the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their economic, political and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on important matters like health care and retirement security.

Now, since most Americans aren't that far to the right, our friends have to portray us Democrats as simply unacceptable, lacking in strength and values. In other words, they need a divided America.

But we don't.

And,

Their opponents will tell you we should be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists. Don't you believe it. Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.

They go hand in hand.

They go hand in hand, and John Kerry has both. His first priority will be to keep America safe.

And,

Now, how do they pay for that deficit? First, by taking the Social Security surplus that comes in every month and endorsing the checks of working people over to me to pay for the tax cuts. But it's not enough.

So then they have to go borrow money. Most of it they borrow from the Chinese and the Japanese government.

Sure, these countries are competing with us for good jobs, but how can we enforce our trade laws against our bankers? I mean, come on.

Please Mr. Kerry, take Clinton's tone as your own. Clinton didn't even mention Bush by name. But he ruthlessly exposed every Republican policy flaw. You can do that as well. Simplify and shorten up your speeches and compare and contrast, compare and contrast, compare and contrast.

People will get it. And send Bill Clinton on the road.

Kerry-- For a more perfect union. I love it.
