Kerry's A Dirty Bastid
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 05:51 AM by Cronus Protagonist
In a good way, I mean... He knows how to fight in the world of politics. He knows the power of a feint and he's not afraid to use it.

If he said even the tiniest peep he would be Gored, so he is playing coy until we rise up in support, not of him, but of fair and true elections, which is TRULY a bipartisan issue - with a groundswell of support, we will have fair elections in this country and we will get a new election in certain areas in several states, if we want it. Kerry needs to be unsullied to be able to run in the replacement election and win fair and square, so he's counting on YOU. We're all counting on YOU.

If we want a re-vote badly enough, we'll get one - there's plenty of basis and evidence in several states to cause a re-vote.

Then Kerry will run again, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, to accept the mantle of the popular president, the wronged man, the underdog, the man of the people, the true blue American president.

And Bush will curse off into the cold Texas winter night to go kick his dogs one more time having failed once more, fair and square on a level playing field. On other words, Bush gets to screw the pooch one last time before he's indicted.

2. well--if Kerry
is going to do something about this election, he had better get up off his ASS and do it quick.

don't the electors meet in a couple of days? From what I have heard, neither Kerry nor Edwards have EVER been particularly hardworking. We would have been better off with Gore (or practically anyone).

Sorry folks- but I can hardly stand it. I can't even think about inauguration day. And I am MAJORLY pissed at Kerry. All he is trying to do right now is position himself for 2008.

Well--I want a Democrat who is a FIGHTER. If Kerry can't beat the WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY then he was not the best candidate. We better find ourselves a fighter--someone who will run to WIN in 2008.

3. They have never been hard working?
Look at their records.

What do you mean by that?

17. indeed, I have examined their
records. There is a good reason why they did not run on them.

Contrast the record of Kerry with that of Teddy Kennedy (who REALLY is a hard working Senator). Kerry has never been considered a major player--he has always been kind of a non-entity Senator. That is just the way it is.

Sure--he hyped him a lot during the election--we had a bad product and we did a really good job trying to sell it.

BUT--next time--I want a GOOD product to sell. I worked my ass off in this election. My plea to the Democratic party is -- Give me something GOOD to work with next time.

5. If that's really how you feel, how about FIGHTING now?
Or have you given up? It sounds like you're a quitter. Surely that can't be?

10. Your missing the point.. KERRY did win... its the fraud!
We dont have the media to report the truth... bushes disinformation campaign, with the help of the MSM decieved millions... and STILL Kerry had the votes. So supression and fraud where used to fill in the gap... the evidence is strong, and the history of 2000 and 2002 gives precedent to the existance of fraud. SO JOIN US AND RISE Up .. got to a rally THIS WEEKEND... we will grow so when the recount in Ohio shows Kerry won, we will be ready!

THIS ELECTION ISNT OVER!

4. No not really
When I hear Bush call for war in the name of peace, say that the rape of environmental legislation will result in clean air and water, allow the commercial logging of our national forests in the name of fire control I shake my head. For he is the enemy of all those who believe in peace ,justice and common sense.

I wonder, frankly, how to feel when I read such absurdities as this from those who are supposedly my allies in this fight. Silence is eloquence, according to Cronus, concession before all the votes are counted is high strategy according to this thread starter. Our leader is simply waiting to follow this "groundswell" support. Gee, here I thought leaders led, not followed.

Cronus claims that the silence we hear so deafeningly from , not only Kerry, but the national leadership of the party, is a feint and does not show them to be faint of heart, oh no. That the recount battle is being led, not by the supposed opposition party, the one that stands to benefit the most from that recount, oh no, but by third party candidates, you know, those folks who were vilified as sabotaging democratic efforts to win elections.

A Federal judge in Ohio, in dismissing a feeble and quite late Democratic Party lawsuit concerning the recounts, stated that, as the Dems had done nothing to institute either the recounts or the fight for fairness, they had no right to sue concerning other people's battles...that about says it.

It is long past time for those of us who care about democracy, peace, justice and fairness to rise up against this incompetent and agendised leadership that has led the Democratic Party onto the reefs of defeat , for the third time now! It is not fraud that has led to two terms for the most incompetent and dishonest President in modern US history, not at all, it is simply the neoconservative leadership of the Democratic Party, in trying to become another version of the GOP that is responsible.......end the reign of the Bush enablers!

6. If I invited you into my jacuzzi, you would pee in it, right?
I"m just trying to figure out what you think you're doing beyond that.

8. Get serious
That you refuse to fight for your principles , as amply demonstrated by your first post, is moot. That you claim to be unable to understand my rather clear posted response is absurd.

I own my own Jacuzzi, thanks very much, and have no need of yours.Neither would I act as you posit either, though I understand that there really is no defense for your proposed strategies thus you must descend into gutter analogy...

Three distinct losing election cycles for the Democrats, following the path you suggest they remain upon, yet you will not consider altering the rhetoric of appeasement and cowardice.....well, what can one do.....vote Green of course, at least they speak honestly and forthrightly.

20. Hahaaaa. What a dumb-ass thing to say
"Three distinct losing election cycles for the Democrats, following the path you suggest they remain upon, yet you will not consider altering the rhetoric of appeasement and cowardice"

You misread the thread. Start over, take off that beanie and get back into the game. Oh, and it you don't like it, don't post here. My metaphor was sound, your interpretation is, apparently, drawing from limited resources.

21. Your debating technique is non existent
So you would rather use one liner insults instead of making point by point clarifications would you? That says buckets about you but not much at all about that which we debate.

I have taken the trouble to post multiple paragraph responses to your position, explaining why I disagree with them. In response you post scatological reference and then claim I misunderstood you....Not bloody likely.

Whether or not I wear a beanie, or piss in Jacuzzis, is really secondary to the fact that you have posted only requests for silence and applaud the lack of action taken by Kerry in the thread starter. since then you have acted rather like an immature child, and your temper tantrums win no arguments. I will post where I choose junior, get it!

If you claim to have a sound argument then explain it , otherwise you are simply another second rate intellect who can tolerate no opposing viewpoints and can only stammer when challenged...sort of like our President you know.....hmmmmmm.

7. What is Kerry afraid of?
Why was he afraid to be Gored? Isn't he supposed to be a fighter? He should have exposed this fraud last month, he should have exposed the fake media last month, he should have exposed Bush for what he is last month. Now it's too late, he's NEVER going to get the popular support we need to fight fraud with this pitiful, weak, cowardly behavior.

Coy? He's not being coy, he's being opportunistic. He's thinking of 2008. And as far as that goes, he's FINISHED.

22. a chance to do exactly what?
He conceded prior to the complete vote count, as did Gore in 2000 actually. His war chest contains millions in unspent contributions, what on earth was he saving it for?

When it was left to third party challengers to protest a seamy election they had to make an appeal to the nation for the hundred or so thousand dollars needed to recount Ohio. Did Kerry fork it over....err no, did the democratic party do so...again nope. So what more chance does one wait for before drawing the obvious conclusions?
