13. Sure is! And in another pic posted on another thread...
he posed with both arms stretched skyward in a "V"...and a big ol' smile on his face?! Plus he's absolutely glowing today. What's up?

Is there something we don't know?

I hate it when he gets our hopes up, and then...

14. You're getting your own hopes up
He's just standing there, in a town that votes 90% blue. Rush mentioned his position and the fact that he was smiling and waving.

I wonder, since Blowfish didn't mention it, if Kerry was being cheered by someone in the crowd. He will generally grin like a moose when he's being cheered.

3. Dress in black, listen to Bethoven, and harken back to when two men...
could resolve these issues through a simple duel. Foils...at dawn.

Kerry would have certaily been President in that instance.

10. That picture gives me hope
Democracy is not dead, as long as there are people that believe, and are willing to fight for those beliefs.

The battle is not over, it is just getting started.

I BELIEVE

24. no retreat, no surrender

JK is an optimist, always looking for the answers. It's comforting to know he's still gonna be there fighting with his fellow Dems.

I believe, too! :toast:

edit: I like to think he was there for us, his voters, to cheer us up, and give us courage. :loveya:

7. The big question is, what is going to develop in the next two years
if the truth comes out about election fraud? If it's proved without a shadow of a doubt that Bush-Cheney benefited from flipped votes, what happens to his presidency?

9. I'll tell you what happens
They get rid of the machines and we vote in a Dem majority in both houses and then IMPEACH Bush/Cheney.

12. Nothing happens
I believe the constitution defines the president as the person who takes the oath of office.

15. I truly believe Shrub will be out of office within the year.
Plus three major psychics also concur on that.

So I guess we'll find out...in time. I suspect the War Crime charges, and International intervention might be our best hope. Even with a strong RICO case, or whatever...tried in U.S. courts...would no doubt get a run-around by the Repugs.

18. Make that three major and one very,very minor one (me) but I think he'll
self-destruct and take his whole nasty family down with him.
It's my only consolation.

20. 3 major psychics, well, there it is.
Personally, it's going to have to take a continual barrage of bad news to defeat him. But I don't see things happening in a year. I see it happening in 2006 if the Senate and House goes to the Democrats. But that will only happen if we can get source code and paper ballots for the 2006 election.

19. Absolutely agree - and all our second guessing the election won't change
that simple fact.

25. yes, it wasn't Kerry's fault
He almost made it, which is more than the other primary candidates would have done, in my opinion. He was and is the most qualified.

I just wish more on this board would realize this and stop chewing his leg off.

23. Who said "we" the people are done...
If we are not being listen to or if it no longer matters to * types what we think, it is our responsibility to find a way to tell the world the truth.

Just because the pretty pictures on TV make America look like the land of Democracy as it was in the past doesn't make it true today.

The responsibility is ours to let America know that * can't hide the stinky shit emanating from everyone around him, too many know the truth and we the people hold the power to keep that truth alive!
