The unprecedented campaign of scare-mongering and HATE by the left drove him to this. He really believed their lies and thought the world was coming to an end. The left should feel this is on their hands.
Yes. The Left, rejecting morality, bears resposnibility for failing to fill the void (which they cannot) in this young man.

Most insightful post of the thread.
It is indeed tempting to dance on the poor fool's grave. However, the distorted fear-mongering by Kerry's supporters/Bush's haters is the most likely reason for his despair.
Remember, Kerry himself had leapt upon Bush's suggestion to explore taking 2% of SSI to put into a personal account to scare blue-haired old ladies into thinking that they will be thrown into the gutter if Bush is elected.
As I had explained in another thread, Kerry was willing to sacrifice a great deal in order to be elected.

I have to admit to being surprised that Kerry conceded rather than try to undermine the American people's confidence by challeging the election results in court.

That has been my feeling too.
Prayers for this man and his family. How sad.
