Ducks in a row was not the way to go! Kerry and the Dems ...
had plenty of irregularities to complain about back in Nov.- and half of the Country to cheer them on. If they would have done a full court press like they did on SS, maybe we would have a future other than four years of dread.

2. What should he have said?
It would've been fun to see the press tear him apart when he claimed, with no hard evidence, that the GOP stole millions of votes nationwide.

4. yes- after months to prepare....
Ohio made black people wait in long lines to vote...Is this just an accident? IF the repukes would do this-why wouldn't they cheat in other ways?

7. Hard proof?
I'm sure saying "there were long lines, and we just know they cheated" would have been a winner for the Democrats.

The evidence is accumulating, but even now, I doubt we could convince the majority of American's the election was stolen, especially with this POS media.

11. You have to remember
that you have to have hard evidance for people now days or you'll have the whole "consperiacy theorist" thing. We know the truth but unless you know about it people will just roll their eyes at you and call you a sore loser.

6. Kerry is one of the few who fights.
There are alot of democrats in that room cheering who are corrupt like the GOP, it has sliced both ways the vicious sword.

But Kerry has been fighting everything all the way along. He even attached his own part of the lawsuit, to the divided criminal acts that happened in Ohio.

8. You're wrong. We would have been shredded as bad losers.
Sorry you're still so sore - but you need a wider view.

We will triumph, and we will expose the crimes of election '05.

Believe.

10. Bush needs to pay a political price now -
not a few years down the road, when the U.S. could be in ruins.

12. Very true
Look what happened to Gore. He was called a "sore loser" and had the "riots." A lot of work got done this time. According to Kerry's brother it's in his nature to go get the bad guys and the Bush administration are as bad as you can get. In another thread here there's mention of articles that are making Kerry out to be a jealous, mad and consperiacy theorists. So I'm not sure what's going on but something is to make these articles pop out.

9. As any prosecutor can tell you, knowing something and proving it
are two very different situations. Without being able to sieze evidence there was no way to prove anything.

13. Kerry stumped the GOP
Edited on Sat Apr-23-05 04:31 PM by kster
The GOP was prepared for him to Kerry to fight after the election ,so then while everyone was watching Kerry run from one court room to the next they would have been covering all their tracks with the election theft.

The one thing they where not prepared for was silence.Would you want Kerry to fight with plan(a)one or two pieces of evidence on * terms or (b)hundreds of pieces of evidence on his own terms.

If Kerry would have picked (a) the media would have crushed him, while at the same time helping the neocons cover up their theft and also making it impossible for Kerry to even think about plan (b) ,by Kerry picking plan (b), HE LIVED TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.

14. Very true
He would've been called a "consperiacy theorist" and anything he wanted to do in the future would've been ruined right there. It's better to have all the facts that everybody will believe. If you don't have it you can't do anything. Kerry knew this. I remember feeling sad and let down too, but then people got to work and look what has happened since. They're fighting us now. Hopefully we'll win.

15. Yes Indeed - and can you imagine how Kerry must have felt?
Conceding the race, knowing he may have indeed won... and even yet at that very moment of greatest anxiety, greatest personal injury (his rightful Presidency stolen by the BCCI crew), he didn't shoot himself in the foot by announcing a case he wasn't prepared to bring.

That's a leader.

We'll have our day.
