So, what is John Kerry's "secret plan" now?
You know, the one we all donated money to make sure there would be a post-election fight?

He doesn't look "crazy, like a fox" anymore. Now he just looks like the fox that raided the chicken coop.

Bitter? You bet I am!

19. Can you windsurf in the sand?
Oh yes, just sitting back eating bonbons, isn't he.

(le sigh)

This is not an add water and mix situation. Those who wanted instant gratification were never going to get it. I already knew that. We are in a war. Kerry is still a soldier in that war. There is more to the year 2005 than Jan. 6th. And there is still more of Congress #109 to come.

I refuse to eat any of our Democratic leaders. Not Kerry, not Clinton, not Reid, not Dean. NONE of them. WE NEED THEM ALL. I support them all. Every last single one.

I am expanding my back watch. It is now a Democrat back watch.

HALT! WHO GOES THERE!

24. Maybe that was our mistake
We needed to shoot at him to remind him how to act.

3. If he runs again
I honestly think he will be soundly defeated in the primaries.

7. Save your vitriol for someone who gives a damn.
Kerry is off with the troops in Iraq.

You are whining about him on a message board.

13. Off with the troops, and MIA for a crucial vote.
We're here at least speaking up for the right of all votes to be counted. It's more than he's doing right now.

25. Wow, I love that word, "vitriol"
I can't wait to use it in a sentence one day.

Yeah, he's off to Iraq. People with lots of money, like billions, can go wherever they want whenever they want and avoid anything they want with excuses like, " I think I'll distance myself from the vote in the house and go to Iraq today"

16. not buying it
If there was an undying loyalty to all skull and bones members, Kerry never would have investigated Iran-Contra the way he did. I think he values his membership there, but not above his own ethics.

I hope his plan is to nail Bush in the 9/11 scam. Long term, that's as important as winning the election. And honestly, I can say I don't think him contesting would have changed the outcome of the election. Destroying the Bush dynasty is the best thing he could do for the country now.

9. I must agree with you
This challenge wasn't about John Kerry winning election: this was about fair, honest, LEGAL elections. On the basis of standing up for this notion alone, Kerry should have been involved today. By not being involved, I think Kerry was playing politician, covering his rear end, instead of leading. I know many people on this forum disagree with this notion, but I will never support a John Kerry candidacy again.

11. SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE OPENING SKIT last weekend....
....was SPOT ON! Once a bonesman always a bonesman! :puke:

Kerry Calls Bush

President George W. Bush.....Will Forte
John Kerry.....Seth Meyers
Al Gore.....Darrell Hammond




< open on exterior, White House >

< dissolve to interior, Oval Office, President George W. Bush at his desk >

Intercom: Mr. President? You've got a phone call from Sen. Kerry.

President George W. Bush: Thanks, Ashley. < picks up phone > Hello there, John.

< split-screen >

John Kerry: Hello, George! I just wanted to call and congratulate the man who ran the most ruthlessly efficient campaign in the history of the nation.

President George W. Bush: Well, thank you. I'll tell Karl Rove. < chuckles >

John Kerry: I was talking about you, George. So, how's everything else?

President George W. Bush: Well, you know.. I don't know. I got so much work to do. I've got to clean up the mess left by the previous administration.

John Kerry: Well, in that respect, I don't envy you, George!

President George W. Bush: Yeah, well, tell me about it, you know. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the economy is in shambles. You know, we haven't caught Osama bin Laden because we outsourced the job to those.. those crazy Moo-lahs and - heck! Don't get me started on Iraq. You know that's just.. that's just a nightmare. What about you? What are you up to?

John Kerry: < sips a frozen mixed drink, as a waiter delivers a second > Not much of anything. Just hanging out, really. Recovering. Pretty boring stuff.

President George W. Bush: That sounds, uh.. awesome

John Kerry: Well, I have to be honest - it was rough at first. But then my accountant told me how much money I would save under your administration. It was hard not to feel like a winner. Plus, my wife has citizenship in, like, eight countries, so, if this joint goes down, I've got plenty of outs! < Theresa Heintz-Kerry nudges John > Oh, wait, hold on, she wants to talk to you.

Theresa Heintz-Kerry: Whoooooo!! Congratulations, George! I knew you could do it! Listen, tell Laura I said Hello. Hug her awkwardly for me, okay? < blows a kiss >

President George W. Bush: Will do.

John Kerry: < back on the phone with Bush > Oh, isn't she great? To think that I married her for her money and I got so much more - houses.. cars.. an ostrich ranch; it's fantastic!

President George W. Bush: Wow, John, you know, I've never heard you sound so relaxed and easygoing.

John Kerry: Curse of the Democrats, George. We save likeable and charming for the concession speech. When it counts - stiff, cold and wooden. When the campaign's over, we're the life of the party!

Voice: Whoo-hoo-hooooo!!!!

< Al Gore sits >

Al Gore: Well, well, well. John, I have the shuffleboard court reserved for 4:30.

John Kerry: I'll be there in a few minutes, Al.

Al Gore: Well, come quick, there's a lot of great games. Tipper and I just won a limbo contest by a decisive margin. Who are you talking to?

John Kerry: George. He says he's swamped at work.

Al Gore: Let me talk to him. < takes the phone > Congratulations, George.

President George W. Bush: Thanks, Al! And I actually won this one, you know! It feels, uh, weird, you know?

Al Gore: I just want to thank you again for what you did to me four years ago. Losing to you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I mean, I keep telling John now's the time to grow a beard, hang out with Ben Affleck, and start yelling a lot! People really seem to respond to that.

President George W. Bush: Well, uh.. you know, it sure sounds like you're having fun.

Al Gore: Well, like I always says: "Do do do do do - I'm loving it!" < chuckles >

President George W. Bush: Alright. Al, Al, Al, Al.. could you put John back on the phone, please?

Al Gore: Oh, snippy. < returns the phone to John >

John Kerry: < laughing > Oh, I love that goofball! Come on, George, I'm sure you and your friends are having fun, too.

President George W. Bush: You know, that's the thing. All my friends are leaving. You know: Ashcroft; Don Evans; Rumsfeld's gonna go; Colin Powell cleared out his office, like, two years ago, you know? That guy is gone. You know that feeling you had in college, when all your friends were gradge-e-ating, but you still had, like, two more semesters of math requirements? It's like that.

John Kerry: Well, I'm sure you're gonna find some good people.

President George W. Bush: Yeah. I'm sure I will. Everything's gonna be fine.. I guess.

John Kerry: Well, that's the spirit!

< John pauses to take a sip from his frozen drink, as Bush waits patiently >

President George W. Bush: Switch with me!

John Kerry: I'm sorry, w-what?

President George W. Bush: Switch with me. Please! You know, I can find more votes for you in Ohio. < chuckles > Trust me - I know where to look!

John Kerry: No, no, I don't think that's a good idea, George.

President George W. Bush: Oh, it can work, John. You know? It worked in "The Parent Trap."

John Kerry: They were twins, George.

President George W. Bush: But what am I gonna do?

John Kerry: George, this is a very important time in our country. People need you to lead them.

President George W. Bush: I guess you're right, John. You know? It's time to be decisive. Now, this may not be the popular thing to say, but I'm gonna say it. < hangs up his phone > "Live, from New York, it's Saturday Night!"

15. Stop hating on Kerry
Sure, I am semi-disappointed in his early concession, not standing with the CBC, praising MM and F 9/11, or the failure to hold Smirky accountable for an illegal war and 9/11. I would have love to see some fire from him before and after the election, but I guess that is just his personality. Anyway, Kerry wasn't the perfect candidate, but who is? Kerry worked his behind off to try to defeat the worst president ever, but if is wasn't for his decision to hire his pathetic campaign manager and advisors without brains, he would be sworn in on the 20th. I am sick of the name calling and personal attacks. Like him, or hate him, this will not get us anywhere. That is what I was trying to say in that "Stop Playing Into The Hands of The GOP" thread. This is what Bush and Doughboy want. They want us to whine about Kerry and how lousy, weak and pathetic a candidate he was. I am sick of "well Dean, Clark, or Obama could have won." Stop it! The media feeds into to that. Why do you think the GOP have been sucessful in elections? They steal them of course, but they always outsmart the Dems. I still believe that right will win in the end and Smirky will get his, but we should be supporting our Democratic nominee of 2004 and support our nominee of 2008. We need to take back the MSM first, then think about 2006 and 2008. I may be the only Black who may still support the 2004 nominee if in runs in 08, but if he doesn't the General I will. So enough already.:-(

22. politicasista .. we learn from our mistakes
And our party is full of them. I'll bet Rove wants us to keep every last one of them. I'm sorry, but for one day, they couldn't even stand together. Not for one day! Why would Rove fear that? He loves it. I don't. Thank You Barbara Boxer. The rest of you can hit the road.

23. NO! When you take money by claiming it is for a post-election fight
you better freaking "report for duty". Especially when you continue to ask for the money FOR THAT PURPOSE on your website AFTER the election.

This 2 faced POS took my money and did SQUAT! He doesn't need a pass because he is too stupid, gullible or naive (take your pick) to know how to pick a campaign manager and advisers. It doesn't take a genius to know not to hire a campaign manager with a 0 - 7 record.

26. Look, today HAD to happen
John Kerry is a prosecutor, remember? He needed the repukes to actually go through with their fraWd before he could nail 'em to the wall. Now these idiots have seeled their fate. Kerry is a war hero. He eats punks like Rove for breakfast. You'll see soon enugh.

BWAHAHAHA!

Oh, and tell him to give back every single dime people gave to his recount fund. There was almost $7 million dollars given and there is over $6 million still left that he's saving for 2007-2008 legal support.
