Bush's crime in 2004 was against The American People, not just Kerry or democrats. Always blame the smearer, the A-hole who hires the Karl Rove type to cheat, smear and lie. That is the one to always blame. Kerry knows he should have retaliated faster and harder against Bushie dirty tricks and smears in 2004, but he was trying to stick to the issues which is supposedly what the citizen voters want him to do. He also didn't expect Bushies to put 130 million dollars behind the tidal wave of lies and smears. He only expected a portion of that so he was overwhelmed. Do you realize n ot a single Bush 2004 claim about Kerry was true? Not a single Bush negative ad was even partly accurqate. Not a single smear of the smearvets was remotely true. WHoi could have expected that level of dishonesty when except for the Florida cheating, the 2000 election was realtively smear-free (except for Bushies vs. McCain). Also, if RFK Jr. is right, Bushies stole 357,000 voites from Kerry in Ohio alone. And was there anything Kerry could have done about it before or after the fact to put himself in the White House? If you can think of something, please advise and I will pass it along to Kerry's rightman whom I have an oncgoing correspondance with. McCain was also beaten by Bush in South Carolina by gross dirty tricks and an awful smear campaign. So you you also think McCain is a coward? And what about Gore? He was certainly cheated. I agree it's humiliating to be cheated but the real problem is we have no investigations and legal action against the cehaters because the Republicans control the government and therefore most of the subpoena powers. All that said, Kerry is not afraid to fight again. He sees 2004 as the first round in a long match where his opponent hit him below the belt and got away with it. So bottomline, Kerry knows he is the real legitimate president. So does Gore for that matter.
