liberalpragmatist (1000+ posts) Thu Nov-04-04 02:45 AM Original message I Trust JOHN KERRY
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 02:49 AM by liberalpragmatist Look, guys. I realize that people's emotions are running pretty high right now. Of course people are upset. I am too. I expect to get flamed, but I don't care.
John Kerry is an honorable, decent, and great man. I had so much hope in him and all day today I've been thinking about what we've lost - I honestly believe John Kerry is one of the best Presidents the United States will never have. It's horribly disheartening.
Now I see half of DU slandering the guy and turning their back on him? Slandering him so viciously? Attacking him as spineless? You guys, the writing was on the wall. There was mathematically no way for him to reach victory. That was obvious. Now, there may have been some irregularities, but there's no way to prove that.
Do you really think John Kerry gave up lightly? The guy is truly a fighter. He has wanted to be President his whole life! WHY the hell would he give up his lifelong dream unless he absolutely had to?! This man was born to be President. Some sympathy for him please. He's obviously personally devastated. Could you not see the sadness in his demeanor during his concession speech? What would he give up unless he had to?
Some of you guys say he caved in for his own personal gain. Uh - WHAT personal gain? Don't you realize that this was everything Kerry wanted? He's lost the dream of his life. What favors could he possibly be doing to himself?
The man is obviously sad. I'm sure he feels 100 times sadder and more heartbroken then any of us! He did not make this decision lightly, and he's a patriot first and foremost. If there was no mathematical possibility of him winning, why drag this out into endless legal battles over votes that aren't going to affect the outcome?
I for one will always remember John Kerry. Obviously in hindsight some mistakes were made. But the campaign was made in utter good faith. He gave it his all and he did us proud. We made clear progress on important issues like national security - the unfortunate thing was we lost despite that because we didn't foresee the composition of the electorate. That's not Kerry's fault - that's a fault of the left as a whole. Kerry did the best he could. He very nearly beat a sitting president with high personal approval ratings in wartime.
And I'm not going to let my personal heartbreak with this loss turn my back and betray someone who fought so hard and so sincerely for us.

17. Kerry was the "rat who jumped the ship". Not us
I thought the Captain of the ship was supposed to go down with the ship.
Hell....I was still in the galley rowing the motherfucker, when I looked up because the drums stopped. To my suprise the Captain, First Mate, and half the crew were gone.
Fuck it...I'm gonna keep on rowing. Kerry can get back in the boat if he wants to, but I won't trust him as my Captain again.

absentee ballots/provisional ballots are counted. As long as it's before Jan 20th, right?

Are they still in lock-down mode? LOL.
Wasn't there a thread on DU about shooting Christians? Was it pulled? Anyone have it?
Its pretty nasty over there....hehehe
Ahh, the loyalty warms my heart.
poor hopeless, pitiful, boy buggering, feckless crapweasel DUmbies.
Can they ever say one sentence without the F-word in it?
Why is it that liberals have such big chips on their shoulders? As Savage says, part of their problem is that they were never taught how to lose.
Let's see..was this posted in the "crying room" or in the "ass kicking" forum? They're such a compassionate bunch it's hard to tell...
They're now viciously attacking Kerry for conceding.
Ach, ze sveet schmell auf schadenfrude mit vhinink vrum ze defeated...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!
Damn the DUmmies... full gloat ahead!!!
Uhhh, no.
May I remind the DU folks of the following:
The difference is they are sad, and still pi$$ poor liberals, He is sad and has $500 million.
Eff no.
