Kerry Says He Knows Why He Lost The Election
Maybe it was because every time he spoke we liked him less.
Kerry on why he lost: It was bin Laden's fault. That OBL tape scared people.
Whiner.
Kerry will blame everyone---else.
Trouble is, Kerry's problem was the messenger and the message. People didn't buy it.
Uh uh. You scared 3.5 million more voters to go for Bush.
Kinda like: "Honey does this dress make me look fat?
Reply: "No, your a$$ makes you look fat."
Yup, same ones.
"That many people, you'd think they would have kept a better eye on us."
Methinks they were too busy watching themselves, that'd sure explain our being able to *sneak* by 'em, eh?
"Odd."
Yea, isnt it.
And worthy of more discussion if it didn't involve one element.
...john f kerry. :o)
Actually the more mainstream left actually say that the tape was hidden from the public until the right moment.
You know - when Geraldo mentioned it, it was just a comment in passing. The network must have decided that it was a big scoop and now they are bringing him back to elaborate. LOL
Brillant! An October surprise after all!
Kerry saying it was Osama is indicative of the whole losing, whining Democratic party. Surely it can't be that the majority of Americans do not want to buy their Socialist message!!
Democrat vote fraud was not enough to get Kerry elected. I hope Alberto Gonzalez does some investigating into Philadelphia and Florida vote fraud...let the DOJ find the cheaters. And lock them up.
ME TOO! And I want Retina Scans or finger prints or something else high tech in future elections.
Pres. Bush won 2500+ counties Kerry 500, all cities. The Red counties support the Blue counties, when one finds out he can vote money into his pocket how do you think he would vote.
It couldn't have been about me...I did all the right things. I'm superrich and hid behind by windsurfing/Catholic/just-one-of-the-folksy rabble guise. I pretended to eat at that disgusting fast food hovel, Wendy's and then went home and scarfed down a four star dinner.
My wife was just being so Ter-A-ZA by calling those who don't vote for me stupid. Well, they are aren't they?
My message was so twisted into a knot that I successfully hid my socialist agenda.
I had every single news outlet bashing Bush 24/7 and all the countless minions cranking out Bushbashing books for years.
I picked that pretty-boy do-nothing what's-his-name, Edwards who gave the skinny on Dick Cheney's sexually challenged brat and then, Edward's wife called it correctly about the Cheney's wanting to pack their kid up and send her to a dungeon.
Gosh. I even pretended to be a gung-ho warrior with those phoney medals and Christmas in Cambodia blather, albeit I had to hide planning to undermine the US with the enemy.
I wonder what happened?
Kerry is trying to console himself, placing the blame on one isolated incident rather than on his personal shortcomings as a candidate.
While the initial reaction to the OBL tape was that it would be a boon to W, polling indicating that in the wake of its release W's ratings on handling the war on terrorism actually declined. My personal sense is that the tape wasn't much of a factor in either direction.
I guess every loser has to have his story. Gore's obviously was "the Supreme Court stole it," while it looks as if Kerry's will be "OBL was W's secret weapon." Pathetic.
Yup. He did not flip-flop enough. And his supporters did not call Bush enough nasty names.
But he plans to fix those things next time around.
Yea...They announced it like there was going to be some big revelation. They even said "Coming up....Fox Exclusive Interview." Jeeze. He is blaming Osama. I recall the MSM pundits saying that tape would Help kerry. I guess the disappointment was that kerry had his "Thank you" note to Osama all written and ready to mail. Now he has wasted a stamp, too. And I waited to watch instead of eating my oatmeal.
He ran, therefore he lost.

Here's some tips for his next run from Letterman and Dirty Harry
I think nobody ever clued them in to the fact that Mean People Suck. His and Edwards' cracks about Mary Cheney; Teresa's monumental insult to Laura Bush, housewives, teachers and librarians; Mrs. Edwards' put-down of the Cheneys. They're just dreadful, mean, uncouth people and decent red-state folks don't like that.
The other day there was talk, here, about someone leaving Fox. Last night Shepard Smith was missing. I was hoping it was going to be Geraldo. He is becoming more repulsive everyday.
Kerry lost because he was a N/E liberal trying to run as a moderate, which made him look like a flip/flopper, he was wooden and did not connect with the people.
He only did as well as he did because the dims and the MSM did a good job getting out the "anybody but Bush vote".
