13. Screw 08! There might not be an 08 with bu$h at the helm!
We/I gave him money to win an election in 04 and due to cheating/BBV, he had it stolen from him. Now he wants to let the cheating go and try again in 08 with the money WE gave him for 04? Bu$h could conceivably change evrything via martial law or constitutional amending so there wont be another election! Or BBV will prevent ANY dem from ever winning another election! Or worse, Global Nuclear Warfare!

This was the most important election in American history and THEY STOLE IT! Then Kerry failed to fight for what is rightfully/ours, rolling over to these beshitted dogs!

Fuck John Kerry! He's the epitome of the spineless democrat!

Dean or Clark in 08! If there is an 08!

2. I'd heard that figure was from mid-October.
I heard elsewhere he has $25M. Ed Schultz said $7M in legal funds. Still a good question.

4. Because after all the hard work is done and it goes to bush*co brand
courts it'll take a lot of money to pay for lawyers that will fight fair and honorably while the other side doesn't bother to wipe the blood off their knives after removing them from Kerry's lawyers backs before they put them back in their sheaths.

8. Isn't blind allegience...
what embodies a Freeper? I'd rather question and have open debate on campaign surplus rather than blindly believe that he surplus will be spent in our best interests...

10. Because then they wouldn't get done
The second Kerry's money is in the mix, the Republican machine is in the mix. Then there will be no recounts. If any state looks like it's getting anywhere near being overturned, he will fight full force. Let's at least get the votes counted once so we've got a place to start. Ohio isn't even done counting yet.

12. I posted the question in another thread....
that is sinking rapidly, as to where the money for post election legal costs goes now.

I cannot remember the figure that was raised by the Kerry folks to pay the "army of attorneys" for the post election fight. I know it was in the millions, I know I contributed, I know they are not spending it on atty's (ok, I don't know for sure they are not spending it but I sincerely doubt it)

Sooooo... where is the money now? Where is the money going to go? What is the regulation (campaign finance law) as to where the money can be spent?

Curious more than anything.

15. It was 11 or 12 Million in a legal defense fund
That was in addition to his 45 Million.

14. Schultz opened the show on this topic
Kerry damn well better not be squirrelling away campaign money for '08 while the country nose dives.
