Reply #119: Why did he have to make a concession speech at lightening speed [View All]

timing. He didn't wait at all. He seemed like he couldn't wait to proclaim a Bush victory. The votes were not all counted AND there was no real chance for claims of problems with the voting system that had just BARELY taken place. He had the world stage to focus attention on any allegations of inpropriaty with the voting practices, but, he bascially shut it down and walked away before the problems could really surface. Be in denial all that you want but at least Gore fought some before he conceded. Kerry knew 4 years ahead of time what had happened to Gore, Kerry knew what the hotly contested states would be, Kerry knew on election day which states were slam dunks for Bush and which states were slam dunks for Kerry. Kerry knew that Ohio was razor thin close and he gave the process NO TIME to expose or to allow people to come forward with complaints. Excuse me, but it is EXTREMELY obvious that he had no intentions of fighting for us in this election when it really mattered. Your attitude seems to be - unless you are caught red handed cheating, don't bother investigating and standing your ground when there seems to be discrepancies with the voting process. Sorry, but I want somebody who has better judgement than that.

What is so hard to understand, it was all plainly laid out for him (the very recent history of the Bushco stealing an election when he in fact had lost it) and he did NOTHING except to give up and walk away - handing the election to Bush.
