Kerry is politically finished if he doesn't achieve an Ohio recount
He promised a tough fight to get all votes counted--he can't go down like a lamb and expect to have any prosepect for 2008. He can forget that. Dems won't back a guy who won't fight like hell, and thus far he has folded like an old lawn chair.

1. Ohio is having a recount
well sort of

sounds more like a game of let's get them (outsiders) out of our state and off our backs as quick as we can, so no one put yourself in a position of having to actually hand count all the ballots.

bunch of fucking cheaters there I think

2. Saying he folded...
actually implied he did something. I don't think he even went as far as doing that! Where is he? Why isn't he in front of the cameras trying to help his cause?

3. I totally agree with you, it is sink or swim time for him but

let's take that an extra step, it concerns the Democratic Party as well. If non of these supposable concerned parties step up to defend us, the grass roots organizations, then we must turn our backs on them as well as *. The Democratics are running around worried about the big * so they are neglecting us. Well I for one do not being abused by * but the Demos hitting on my too, that is way, way wrong.

4. What was all that stuff he said
before he gave his concession speech about checking numbers and the couldn't find any reason to try and fight(I forget the exact quote)...was he whimping out or what?

5. I don't now how he can even consider a 2008 run after he
just pulled up stakes, shut his blog dog and disappeared.

6. if the Democratic Party as a whole doesn't get behind outing this

12. Green or if we pro-humans made a new political party. Why?
Because the few Green ads I'd seen in Minnesota were developed by a bunch of idiots, whose commercials made themselves look like an utter farce. Ken Pentel's ad really stuck with me at the time... it was so ridiculous I could have sworn he was a closet neo-con. Probably was too.

No, we need a new party - not just cling onto another. The Greens, while popular in Europe, are a joke here in America.

8. Mr. Skull and Bones made his deal.
He made his deal with Bush.

Now, my only child has permanent residence at a VA Cemetary.

I have nothing left to lose.

I want out of Jesusland.

11. You mean he didn't lose enough when he conceded 12 hours after they closed
???

I sure as hell wouldn't vote for that flip-flopper. And, sadly, by saying how he'd fight and then quickly back down RATHER PROVED *'S POINT, THANKS KERRY - YOU DLCified TWIT.
