BOSTON— U.S. Sen. John Kerry, in some of his most pointed public comments yet about November's presidential election, invoked Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on Monday as he criticized President Bush and decried reports of voter disenfranchisement on election day.
Kerry, Bush's Democratic challenger, spoke at Boston's annual Martin Luther King Day Breakfast. He reiterated that he decided not to challenge the election results, but went on to say that "thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote."
"Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, eleven hours to vote, while Republicans sorted through in ten minutes - same voting machines, same process, our America," he said.
In his comments, Kerry also compared the democracy-building efforts in Iraq with voting in the U.S., saying that Americans had their names purged from voting lists and were kept from casting ballots.
"We're here to celebrate the life of a man who if he were here today would make it clear to us what our agenda is, and nothing would be made more clear on that agenda that in a nation which is willing to spend several hundred million dollars in Iraq to bring them democracy, we cannot tolerate that too many people here in America were denied that democracy," Kerry said.
You lost, get over it.
Already trying to mend fences with the moveon and DU goofballs who derided him for "conceding too quickly." He's running in '08.
Ping, Tonk.
For crying out loud. What a loser.
Looks like Lurch has been hitting Tereza's white raisin stash a bit too hard lately.
Tell us, what about Wisconsin and Philadelphia?
You're right- He's setting up for 08. May as well go ahead and make a donation to the Swift Boat vets right now!
When Kerry conceded the day after the election, for a brief second, I actually thought that the man may have some integrity and class. I was actually gratefull that the man didn't drag this country through the mess that happened in 2000. I was like "Atleast he's better than Gore."
This article sure brings me back to reality about the man.
Same story as always. Just laying the F*ing plan for next time to rally up the black vote , It is really sickening. Ï wonder when the Black folks will figure out they are being "played"
As usual the AP reporter aggressively pressed the former presidential candidate on his lies.
Kerry, along with his Democratic supporters, are idiots. They are functional idiots however because they show us what they and their party stand for everyday.
MLK Jr. would roll over in his grave if he knew the people that claim to represent his dream today. How sad.
And another thing. Aren't the Democrat voting districts run and operated by Democrats? If there weren't enough voting machines, who's fault is that?
Every time one of these Democrat idiots speaks, they dig themselves deeper into the hole. First, the Democratic precincts are run by Democrats, so they should be blaming themselves. The reason Democrats stood in line for hours longer to vote is because they are too stupid to read the ballots or follow instructions!
"Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, eleven hours to vote, while Republicans sorted through in ten minutes - same voting machines, same process, our America," he said.
The best way to keep people needing you is to deny them the knowledge to do better. This is the state of today's Socialist, oops, Democratic party.
"Tell us, what about Wisconsin and Philadelphia?"
Agreed. Republican voters in Dane and Milwaukee counties (WI) were seriously disenfranchised! There are already reports of 10,000 illegal votes in Milwaukee County...Kerry only won Wisconsin by 11,841 votes!!
Looks like Lurch has been hitting Tereza's white raisin stash a bit too hard lately.
