I appreciate John Kerry and how hard he fought for us and his country. |
|
He is privy to information that we are not. I am certain that he looked at all the data before making a decision.
The news reported that Bush got more of the popular vote than any President in history. We can live in denial and say "they stole the election" or we can move on and ask what we can do better in 4 years.
No one is more disapointed than John Kerry, he fought his heart out and please ... let's never forget that.

He fought a great fight. He can't defeat rampant ignorance and greed in a few months.

I hardly think it's denial if in fact they did steal the election.
It's denial to think that they won it fair and square.
We tried that 'move on' shit four years ago and look where it got us.

10. Where's the proof of a stolen election? We had it in 2000, we don't now. |
|
We had 7 million new voters in this election, Bush's effective anti-rights, reach out to the RW fundie church campaign decided this election.

i love john kerry just as you love howard dean. this really hurts . and it's worse than the primary because there is nobody else to move on to supporting right after as it was then.
i do think there was fraud though. but at the same time i do know bush got a lot of votes because of the "morals" thing and high turnout among his base because of the anti gay measure on the ballots in addition to the parental notification thing in florida.

But unless I plan to move out of state, I really don't see where the next four years will be any better than the last four in Dem organization.

it's not John Kerry's fault that they stole it again. I love John for his valiant efforts.

a lot of people DID vote FOR bush because they think he is a man of god and because of the anti gay measure on ballots.

their lies have lot to do with it, too. I'm just too tired to find the right words. Winning by lying is the equivalent of stealing, maybe?

I also appreciate his effort as he was a very strong candidate but who can win when the media was against him most of the time?

Conceding today is legitimizing another Bush presidency. The whole DNC machine is treating this disaster as business as usual. It is not and it must not be allowed to become so in people's minds.
Conceding early is legitimizing the president.

He played Dukakis games when he promised he wouldn't.
He broke his promise and he broke my heart again. Just like 1988.

20. I agree. Thank you. Thanks Kerry. Thanks all Dem voters. |
|
This is not Kerry's fault. This is the fault of those that voted for Bush. Anyone that blames Kerry right now is doing the Republican's work for them by trying to splinter the party.
