John Kerry (search) believes he lost to President Bush because of the video from Usama bin Laden (search) that surfaced just days before the Nov. 2 presidential election.

The Massachusetts senator told FOX News' senior correspondent Geraldo Rivera that he believes he lost because the tape may have scared the American electorate.

Kerry went on saying the Bush administration is planning "a right wing assault on values and ideals we hold most deeply" and that diverse opinions are being "eliminated" from the State Department and CIA with the personnel reshuffling, and the Bush Cabinet is being remade to "rubber stamp policies that will undermine Social Security, balloon the deficit, avoid real reforms in health care and education, weaken homeland security, and walk away from critical allies around the world."

Kerry also vowed to "continue to challenge this administration" on a variety of issues, ranging from election standards and health care for children.

He lost because he turned his back on Vietnam Veterans and they turned their back on him. Now he wants to be Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense and I sincerely hope the Vietnam Veterans make sure it doesn’t happen.

POS hasn't changed at all.

I remember a video clip I saw back in the 2004 campaign, of Kerry speaking with a group of organizers at a campaign appearance somewhere in Ohio. He was getting ready to make a campaign speech on a stage, and was just speaking informally with the organizers about the campaign, his prospects for winning Ohio, etc.

I couldn't believe what I was listening to. This wasn't the John Kerry you saw in his public appearances. He had a totally simplistic outlook on the campaign, as if he were running for class president in a small-town high school. He actually sounded like he was retarded.

If you need a picture of a fraud, see John Kerry. Seriously, the guy sleeps with the enemy over the years. Thank the Lord, he never made it to the presidency. Now, the dems have much more fraud set in place. The dems behind this and their media have reserved seats in hell. Touchy feeling stuff will not justify their means. It will come back to them.

And I thought he lost because he was a lying, stupid piece of excrement.

Silly me.

And he was fugly too.

Still is.

Lurch tripped over his own stupid tongue....

John Kerry lost because he was a Traitor back in 1972.

No,John Friggin Kerry...you lost because your “look of sincerity” falls well short of the mastery shown by Osama Obama since his days as a street radical in Chicago.I mean...be serious...you could never pull off that photo op of his in NJ a few days before the election.

Kerry seemed to be mimicking Clinton. Fortunately, he didn’t have Clinton’s charm.

Clinton is a sleazy bastard but he knows how to play up his charisma.

John Kerry lost because Buckhead here on Free Republic showed that Dan Rather’s document on Sixty Minutes about GWB’s National Guard service was a fake.

Nobody even remembers the video he's talking about.

He can't admit to himself, but he lost because he's a pompous, horse-faced jackass who faked injuries in Vietnam, turned his back on his brothers in arms and accused them of war crimes even though he had no evidence, came home and threw his unearned medals away, married a couple of broads for their money and nauseated everybody with his slimy nature and arrogant attitude.
