John Kerry's Address to Supporters at Fanueil Hall

[Higans]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. You just have no idea how warming and how generous that welcome is, your love is, your affection, and I'm gratified by it. I'm sorry that we got here a little bit late and a bit short.

Earlier today, I spoke to President Bush, and I offered him and Laura our congratulations on their victory. We had a good conversation and we talked about the danger of division in our country and the need – the desperate need – for unity, for finding the common ground, coming together. Today, I hope that we can begin the healing. In America it is vital that every vote count, and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process.

I would not give up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail. But it is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won't be enough outstanding votes for us to be able to win Ohio. And therefore, we can not win this election.

My friends, it was here that we began our campaign for the presidency. And all we had was hope and a vision for a better America. It was a privilege and a gift to spend two years traveling this country, coming to know so many of you. I wish that I could just wrap you in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually all across this nation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Audience member: We still got your back!

Thank you, man. And I assure you – you watch – I'll still have yours.

4. Don't you see what he is saying?

even shortly after his concession, he said he would be on our side and make sure every vote was counted. He said he would have our backs. We must have his.

This is not a depressing reminder. it's a reminder that Kerry is to this day still working for us. We The People.

His Concession speach means nothing if he is the Legal president apointed by the voters them selves.

6. MLK's made "civil rights" everyone's fight. So it must be with "No BBV"

IMHO, this means the "NO BBV" message has to lose the hysterical memes and progressive rhetoric. IMHO, Sites that scream NO BBV while linking to Chomsky and Bartcop ain't gonna cut it.
