Kerry Says UBL Tape Cost Him the Election (Geraldo with the Scoop in Little Rock!)
Fox News ^ | 11/19/04 | Geraldo Rivera

Posted on 11/19/2004 9:42:39 AM PST by gopwinsin04

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.

Let him go on like that! You didn't hear W complain about the DUI leak right before the election.

In this case, it looks like Kerry is blaming his loss on friendly fire.

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.

The first time you catch your wife flashing her tits from the campaign bus to passing motorist because she is too loaded and surly, remove her from campaign trail.

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?

"Who's John Kerry?"

Exactly!

And who is this Rivera guy that he was talking to?

This a comedy show spinoff from Chico and Da Man? ;)

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?

Please take the time to read this article.

http://www.augustafreepress.com/stories/storyReader$28503

How long till the next attack on the military by Hanoi Kerry?

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
will be sure to bring you Hanoi Kerry's latest propaganda.

Then ask your US Senator why Hanoi Kerry is still a US Senator.

Timeline of Hanoi Kerry

http://www.archive-news.net/Kerry/JK_timeline.html

I VOW to the 58,000 + Brothers and Sisters on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home
and to those who died at home from injuries and
from broken hearts.

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all.

I will not tire, I will not falter,
and I will not fail.

I solemnly vow to do all I can to restore your honor
until I give my last breath on earth."




EXPOSE HANOI KERRY!

Who cares? Both Geraldo and Kerry are losers and shouldn't be given the time of day. Rivera should go back to CNBC (thus sinking into his rightful place in oblivion) and Kerry can go back to the Senate and continue working on all the fine legislation he spoke about during the campaign [/sarcasm off].

When will they quit...

Dear Mr. Kerry,
You lost the election because more people wanted George W. Bush as their leader instead of you.

It's not the Swifties fault, it's not UBLs fault, it just is. Get over it. Soon.

With love for my country,

Dasher

The UBL tape didn't scare me. But a Kerry administration sure looked like a bad dream.

The reason that Kerry would want to say that the UBL tape was the deciding factor is because he and his supporters need to and want to disregard the movement for life and for traditional marriage. He wants to be defeated by a "dirty trick" as some has suggested and not by Democrat and liberal doctrine. For our sake, I hope that they still believe that they can win in the future by being in support of same sex marriage and for the killing of the unborn. I'll guarantee you one thing though, when Hillary runs she will have seen the light and will be against late term abortion and for some sort of traditional marriage in that she will support civil unions and be for the right to choose but be against abortion. Mark my words.

I'm starting to see a pattern here with these Democratic candidates when it comes to addressing their failures.

Clinton: "There is a vast right-wing conspiracy out to get me."

Gore: "George W. Bush stole the election."

Kerry: "It was that Osama bin Laden tape that cost me the election."
