Kerry Concession Speech Takes High Road by Scott Ott [AP EDITOR'S NOTE: THIS STORY ABSOLUTELY EMBARGOED UNTIL SEN. KERRY ACTUALLY DELIVERS THE SPEECH AFTER THE POLLS CLOSE IN CALIFORNIA.]
(2004-11-03) -- When John Forbes Kerry took the podium last night in a Boston hotel ballroom, many supporters expected him to heed the poet's call: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage..."
But the veteran-senator disappointed his troops one last time by taking the high road in his concession speech.
"America has spoken tonight," said a stoic Mr. Kerry, "They have chosen strength and integrity over indecision and political opportunism. This landslide victory for my opponent--forgive me, let me call him President Bush-- this victory demonstrates the essential decency and folksy wisdom of a bold and humble people. In all frankness, my candidacy was never anything more than a vitriolic hate-parade, funded by big unions, Hollywood and the trial lawyers."
Mr. Kerry then stunned the assembled party faithful.
"Tonight I step from the spotlight into the shadow of a great and good man," he said. "In doing so, I now join my friends Sen. Zell Miller, former New York Mayor Ed Koch and millions of anonymous Democrats who secretly betrayed their party today for the good of their nation tomorrow. As I did rhetorical battle with President Bush, I found myself respecting him, admiring him and longing to be more like him. From now on, I will say what I mean, mean what I say and act accordingly. Let me sum up now by paraphrasing my mentor, John F. Kennedy--starting tonight, Ich bin ein Bushie."
Hysterical!
There will NEVER be a Kerry concession speech. Just hundreds of law suits.

Don't get snippy.
Please my FRiend. Take your meds. You are becoming delusional.
Next stop up ahead... the Twilight Zone!
The flavor of this concession speech is more in line with one that GW Bush would give, not John Kerry.
Can someone please forward this to Kerry's Campaign Chair.
This is more like his actual concession speech: "I would like to blame all the people who f***ed up and lost me this election, starting with my inept campaign staff, who I will make sure never work again, my despised wife, Hillary Clinton, Ralph Nader, Howard Dean, the Republican Party, the Pope, Curt Schilling, and the rest of those d***ed Red Sox, white heterosexual men, right-wing gun nuts, Christians, and anyone else who dared vote for that SOB George Bush. You won't have me to kick around anymore. I'm moving to Paris, where I will be feted, stroked, given more medals, and probably made mayor."
Kerry will never concede just as he will never apologize for his treason, lies etc. He is absolutely despicable.
They are going to have to drag his sorry ass, kicking and screaming, away from Bush's inauguration while he wails "But wait...I have a plan!..."

I don't think so... I'm not a political scientist, but I believe Bush will win strongly enough to shut the lawyers right up.
Did you miss your short bus this morning little fella?
Wow dude, I just don't hink you know what your talking about. You know what would have happened if Bush hadn't gone into Iraq, the war would have been brought here. Terrorists would have seen that we didn't do anything about 9/11, so they would have kept doing attacks. You know it's true, so let me ask you a question, would you rather have a war here in our country where everyone could be effected and millions of families could be torn apart, or would you rather us send over troops, where we are actually controlling the situation?
