Don't you all realize?? Kerry WON in 2004!

You heard me -- he's sitting in the White House right now, doing great things for our country. His campaign in 2004 was brilliant, not at all lameass or moronic. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

Kerry went right after Bush's supposed strength -- 9/11 -- calling him out on his months of inaction before the attack and demanding that he explain those 7 minutes when he read My Pet Goat instead of doing his job. It was clear that ignoring Bush's failure and ceding the terrorism issue to the Repugs would have been amazingly weak-kneed and stupid. Candidate Kerry would never do such a thing. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

Kerry excoriated Bush in the Democratic Convention, and he encouraged other people to do so as well. After all, this was the worst president in US history; if you can't say negative things about him, you should just give up as a candidate. As we all know, Kerry rose to the occasion brilliantly (his fiery nomination speech was something to behold), thereby avoiding what would surely have been the lowest post-convention bump in history. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

When asked on Aug 9th, 2004 whether he would still have voted for the Iraq War Resolution, Kerry responded immediately: "Hell no! We had no idea how badly Bush was lying to us when we held that vote. Everything he said leading up to the war has been proven false. This president has clearly shown that he cannot be trusted with this kind of authority." Some aids suggested that Kerry still say that he would have voted for the war, but Kerry knew better. He had said practically the opposite when he announced his candidacy so backing down now would make him look like a wimp and a flip-flopper. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

Kerry responded quickly and forcefully to the SwiftBoat attacks. In doing so, he placed responsibility for the ads squarely on the Bush campaign, calling the President a draft-dodger and a deserter, and telling him to stop attacking people who were actually brave enough to serve in the war instead of running to Daddy for a rescue. This strong rebuttal completely defused the lying attacks before they had a chance to get off the ground. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

On election day, when the vote counts starting trending towards Bush, Kerry immediately cried foul. After all, he was just on a conference call where he made it clear that he strongly suspected shenanigans in New Mexico, Florida and Ohio. On Wednesday, he came out strong for an investigation, refused to concede and promised all the people who had worked so hard and contributed so much to his campaign that he would not rest until an honest count of the election was held. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.

So get off his back. President John F. Kerry is only two years into his first term and he's already become our Greatest President Ever. To believe anything else is to be duped by the vicious, lying, Kerry-hating media.
