Kerry: "I won the popular vote in the battleground states by two percentage points." -- WRONG
Meet the Press ^ | 1/30/05 | John Kerry on Meet the Press

Posted on 02/01/2005 12:08:30 PM PST by tellw

SEN. KERRY: I lost, Tim, to an incumbent president by a closer margin than an incumbent president has ever won re-election before in the history of the country, and if you add up the popular vote in the battleground states, I won the popular vote in the battleground states by two percentage points. We just didn't distribute it correctly in Ohio.

>>Perhaps Kerry was counting New Jersey and Hawaii as "Battleground states."<<

Well, I think Pearl Harbor was a battleground once...

I think the win over Indy was a prime example. The Indy defense needed a rest but they couldn't get themselves off the field and their offense didn't stay on the field for very long.

His only presence on that show on that day can only be attributed to being on-air just in case there was problem with the Iraqi election, which there wasn't.

Yes! Yes! That's sure what I thought!

Could someone please tell this moron that HE LOST. IT'S OVER. SHUT UP ALREADY.

You know, before al goron, I don't EVER remember a presidential candidate who continued on after the election...couldn't stop talking about how he "almost" won, or debating why he lost. It's ridiculous, and proves he's totally lacking class.

Senator Kerry, the AMC Gremlin of politics.

Or, the Ford Pinto of politics.

the plans afoot for illegal Soros funded voters to steal the election.

Exactly right. That's what cost us Wisconsin.

The black shirted "election protection" freak show was nothing more than an organized election fraud conspiracy.

"Someone needs to develop a video game where, as Charlton Heston, you get to rifle down likenesses of Kerry, Gore, Dukakis, Carter, Mondale, maybe some rabbits, Gore again, Hilary, some Apes, Hilary, Kerry, some Apes that look like Hilary, and finally all segments of Michael Moore...which can be the final level. "

Add BARBARA BOXER to that list, please.

Well, it's just a technicality for Kerry. After all, Nixon wasn't president when Kerry was in Cambodia during Christmas break either. 8^>

Jenny, Jenny. Kerry is not a liar.

He really thought he was in Cambodia for Christmas.

He really thinks he was there when Boston Bill Buckner Booted the Ball.

He really thought he was there when the Iraqis and the Coalition signed the treaty ending Gulf War I

He really thinks he talked with the UN Ambassadors on the Security Council

If in your heart of hearts you believe what you are saying is the trruth, but it actually isn't, you're not a liar. You're crazy.

"My favorite caption for this pic when it was first posted: "I missed winning the presidency by THIS MUCH."

Kerry's ego is so big, he's probably saying, "My digit is this long."

I will give him credit for one thing. He has got to be the most plasticized member of either chamber of Congress. Put the picture you posted from Meet the Press on Sunday next to a photo of him 10 years ago. I think he will be barely recognizable.

Apparently, in JFnK's universe, the Khmer Rouge were on our side back then. Maybe he was too busy for that intel briefing as well.

This guy is turning into Al Gore V3 - and if the busses with illegal voters had gone to Ohio instead of Wisconsin, I would be President today. So here's my State of the Union...

He is making Dukakis look like a more credible candidate every time he opens his mouth.
