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.

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.

Actually, what I heard is they only released the parts of the tape that they didn't think would HELP Bush. Apparently there was MUCH more and it was also good for Bush and bad for Kerry. Typical MSM....sigh.

Wouldn't a scared American public turn to a Vietnam war hero who served bravely in Vietnam during the Vietnam war?

So, is sKerry going to sue OBL?

Since Kerry promised he could find and kill OBL as soon as he was elected, Kerry must know where he is. And since Kerry is such a gung-ho war hero, he can just fly over there and straighten OBL out with his M-16.

Huh. I thought it was his personal appearances that destroyed his campaign. His numbers usually improved when he was off the campaign trail.

The tape said any state that voted for Bush would be attacked. A majority of the US states were not SCARED as Kerry wants to claim.... if they were really scared it could only mean they were scared having Kerry in charge.

HMMMMM seemed to remeber that prior to the election all his campaign officials were saying that there "polls" showed that the tape helped sKerry. Were they lying then or is he lying NOW? Enquiring minds want to know

I was thinking the same thing when I read this post!

Yikes, did Mama T really do this?

She had to have been out of her skull on gin-soaked raisins and Valium to flash people like that.

maybe, but since Kerry was and is a Traitor, he doesn't qualify as a "war hero"...btw, we're not done with the "war hero" either...a little matter of his Senate seat, it's about time for him to resign, don't cha think?

Now ain't that too darn bad? It of course had NOTHING to do with the fact that Kerry was an unattractive candidate without a plan, with no core values, a loose cannon for a first lady and a party that would lie, cheat and steal to gain power.

I know we all added a bit of a fraud factor, but I've never thought fraud could erase a deficit of 3-5 points.
