Senator John Kerry believes he lost the 2004 presidential election becuase of the video from Usama Bin Laden that surfaced just days before the November 2 election.
He told FOX News senior correspondant Geraldo Rivera that he believes the tape may have scared the American electorate.
Rivera spoke to Kerry in a holding room to the processional leading up to the formal opening of the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.
'Tough luck, Senator,' Rivera said to Kerry, referring to the Democrats election loss.
Rivera said Kerry responded by saying, 'It was that Usama tape-it scared them.' [the American people]
Kerry said that the tape came out too late for his side to rebut and the Democratic campaign could not counteract in time for the Tuesday election.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
yeeeearghhhhh!
LOL DUmmies are ticked off at this statement.
A lame candidate giving lame excuses.
The dumb $hit indicts himself.
If UBL caused more concern among Americans, and they turned to W instead of him (Kerry), doesn't that tell him anything?
Ummmm..... nope.
They might have been able to counteract if they had had anything worthwile to say, instead of: "Homina-homina-homina."
You mean it isnt the fact that he is the living embodiement of Thurston Howell that turned voters off?
No, F'n; YOU scared the American electorate.
yep, I was vury skurred.
The moron was consistently 3-5 points behind throughout the campaign, yet expects us to believe it was the tape that sunk him.
Who's John Kerry?
So Kerry basically admits that the American people never saw him as an acceptable leader to take on the War on terrorism?
Yours was my first thought as well.
He was going to lose anyway. The polls consistently showed Bush leading by 3-5 points even after the debates. Nevertheless, Kerry's comments reflect that even he understood that national security issues were Bush's ace in the hole.
So, is sKerry going to sue OBL?
No senator, there's a plethora of reasons for your defeat,
but I credit the Swifties for educating the electorate about you.
Dims are in PSYCHOanalysis over losing an election, they want to secede from the United States, and they think they can run a more effective campaign on terrorists who want to nuke this country?
I thought that the media had proclaimed that the video tape had no impact? That's what they were telling us the Monday before the election -- the video tape was a wash between helping Kerry or helping Bush.
So, now that Bush beats his pants off, it can't be on the merits of the election, the issues, or he himself as an idiot ... it has to be due to some outside influence! Yeah, SURE!
Keep up the good work F'n. As long as you and the rest of the dims don't understand reality you will continue to fade into ever increasing irrelevance.
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.
It's everybody's fault but his.
What a waste.
He still hasn't figured out that he lost because he's a pompous ass! I hope he runs again in '08. I'll start saving money to give the Swifties right away.

I see Kerry has been talking to his buddy Castro again....
Hey Kerry, maybe if you would have spoken from your heart instead of taken a poll as to what to say.....forget that.....we already know what your heart would have said.......
Paging John Edwards, paging John Edwards. An ambulance is passing by. Actually didn't sKerry say he'd hunt UBL down and kill him? I guess like OJ he has a lot of time on his hands now.
"The" liberal senator from Mass.
Them? Does he mean "us," you and me and the rest of the great "unwashed masses," as opposed to "him" or "us," the great elites?
Them, as in "those people?"
And how in the world did he think his campaign could "rebut" a bin Laden tape?
As I posted on another thread, the fact that Kerry brought his effin butler on the campaign with him, might have deterred the electorate..
What a loser - in more ways than one!
Oh, that's right! I forgot that!
I guess his pollsters didn't get back to him with the appropriate "rebutal" to sooth the American people!
*Snort*
Kerry's so mad at Osama, he's going to advocate we go to war against him.
I thought that a 3-point margin in the polls meant an even race because of DemocRAT expected voter fraud and all the college fools influenced by Moore with cell phones who could not be polled. Maybe Kerry lost because they could not pull off as much vote fraud this time.
maybe poor JFK lost because we weren't all that impressed by the "world leaders" who really wanted him to win. But blame is easy when you're Kerry, or any dim for that matter.
Leftists are always victims, blameless, and self-absorbed elitists. When they "LOSE", "LIE", or get "Caught with their hand in the cookie jar", it is ALWAYS someone elses FAULT. They LOSE like 7 year olds LOSE.
But he'll vote against the funding for it.
Lurch and the Pickle Lady scared America!
The man is truly deranged.
So he's admitting that he lost because he failed to present himself as a strong enough leader to face down UBL as opposed to GWB.
Works for me.
Not that I would like to see the pic, but did she actually do that?
I sort of believe it but can't remember reports of it, LOL if so.
If UBL tapes caused his loss, then why is he considering legal action against the Swifties?

Why didn't FOX admit that the Swift Boat Vets
sunk Hanoi Kerry's boat?
Why did FOX never ask why Hanoi Kerry never signed Form 180?
Why does FOX give free air time to the traitor Hanoi Kerry?
