40. Kerry's rational, civil attitude won me over.
"Oh please enlighten me as to how you would do it. Running and hiding until the bad people stop talking about you?"


No, by being smart and trying to avoid giving them fodder. Kerry showed the voters that this administration was dishonest liars without having to use the word liar. I think that was being smart and "presidential".


"The difference between Kerry and Gore? Kerry had Gore as a reference point, and he still blew it."


No, Kerry didn't "blow it" with the voters. He won with the voters, and if not for fraudulent machines, voter suppression and voter intimidation, he won in a small landslide.

And, I wish I could "enlighten" you and so many others like you who are so ill informed and seemingly unwilling to try to find real facts instead of just mimicking main stream media bias and neocon talking points, but, I'm afraid my abilities are quite limited.

But, I would like to suggest that you may try to understand that sometimes intelligent diplomacy can accomplish more than can guns and bullets. Your kind of rhetoric is nothing but guns, bullets and bombast.

Look for facts. There have been a few shown here that totally blow you out of the water, if you care to do a little THINKING and not just knee jerk reaction.

KERRY'S rational, civil attitude could have helped bring back some civility and respect to our political process if he had not been CHEATED out of his win. My hope is that we can clean up election fraud and a candidate like Kerry will not have to resort to negative campaigning and name calling in order to win an election.

I know it's a "pipe dream" but I still have hope that it can happen. And, if Kerry's "loss" can make that happen, being the man that I know he is, it will make his "loss" easier.
