More "spin" from the Kerry camp. He just cannot accept that he lost the 2004 election.

There was no "slow response" to the Swiftboat Vets and POWs for Truth. The Kerry campaign went after them with everything they had. The problem for Kerry and the Democrats was that truth was not on their side.

Furthermore, the MSM tried to assist the Kerry campaign by ignoring the Swiftboat vets early on (the only media to cover their initial press conference in May 2004 was C-SPAN2). But that didn't work either, because their ads were too effective (and they cost $200,000 to make - pocket change compared to what the Democrats were spending).

Poor Kerry. He is a haunted man. He cannot accept he is a loser.

He looks almost lifelike in that photo.

I look at Kerry and wonder how anyone could vote for him. Then I look at some of the things I ignore to vote for the people I do, and about all I can do is shake my head.

[CheyennePress]

Not enough to spend? The man had Moveon.org spilling its spew throughout the whole campaign.

If he couldn't make it on that, it just wasn't making.

"I think the biggest mistake was probably not going outside the federal financing so we could have controlled our own message"

In other words, "I SHOULD'VE WHORED FOR SOROS!"

[Imnotalib]

Kerry's biggest mistakes:
* a plan that consisted of having a plan
* John - whatshisname? - oh yeah, Andrews
* Mrs. Kerry
* looking like Lurch
* 20 years in the Senate without doing anything
* coming from same state as Kennedy, Dukakis, and Bawney Fwank
* being a general idiot

Oh John, Tereza didn't think THAT much of your chances to bankroll you much further that she did. (Who DOES own the deed to that home?)

[Berlin_Freeper]

"Was it his campaign's slow response to the swift boat advertisements"

Kerry could offer no response to THE TRUTH. And the media advised him to ignore the Swift Boat Veterans, just like they were doing but in the end failed. Now AP is spinning a bunch of bull about it, as if we are all stupid and don't know the truth. What idiots.

[FMBass]

"As for a run in 2008, Kerry said Sunday he would make a decision by the end of the year."


Mr. Kerry, why don’t you save us both a lot of time, the time you waste running and the time I spend doing everything within my power to stop you from getting elected.

"Some political observers believe the Kerry campaign should have acted more quickly in countering an anti-Kerry group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, that attacked his Vietnam War record."

By saying that frenchie should have "acted more quickly"
the phony fraud ratmedia is trying to say that frenchie answered the Swiftees. These mutts don't want to acknowledge that frenchie has yet to answer them.
At any time during Sept.or Oct. he could have gotten SEE-B.S. to give him a whole "60 Minutes" to counter the charges one by one. He never did because he couldn't. The scumbag still hasn't released his ENTIRE Navy record. All that is is a simple legitimate DD 180. Not the phony one he signed.

To quote(kinda) Lawrence ODonnell:


That's a lie, John Kerry. Keep lying. It's all you do.
That's a lie. It's another lie. That's a lie.
You're just lying about it.
Lies.
He just lies. He just spews out lies.
You just spew lies.
I just hate the lies of John Kerry.
Creepy liar.
Liar who makes things up

Some political observers believe the Kerry campaign should have acted more quickly in countering an anti-Kerry group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, that attacked his Vietnam War record.

substitute attacked and put in exposed

substitute anti-kerry group and put in combat war veterans

now that sounds more like it

[Maceman]

Some political observers believe the Kerry campaign should have acted more quickly in countering an anti-Kerry group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, that attacked his Vietnam War record.

Hey, just because he was completely blindsided by John O'Neil (whom he knew about since 1974), and just because he proved completely unable to effectively neutralize the Swift Boat Vets, that's no reason to think he wouldn't have made a damn fine President, whose international charm offensive would have easily defeated al Qaeda.

[operation clinton cleanup]

The GOP used Kerry's own words to support the contention that he flip-flopped on issues.

And more money would have helped change his own words how?

[hgro]

Kerry was going to release all of his military records before he didn't.

[JerseyDvl]

He is still the same old spin doctor liar he always was. Remember how PO'd the Democrats were when they found out Kerry had 17 million unspent dollars from his campaign funds?
Everyone was asking then why Kerry didn't spend the money on voter drives, advertising, recounts, etc. for a final push at stealing the election.
They should be asking the same again as the frog tries to make us forget what an idiot he is.

“He really angered a lot of people by keeping all the money that he did,” Cari said, referring to close to $17 million left unspent in Kerry’s campaign account after the election.

“I wrote and asked for my money back,” said Cari, who gave $2,000 to John Kerry for President Inc. and $2,000 to Kerry-Edwards 2004 Inc., the general-election legal fund. “When you hold back $17 million, there’s no way that you can say that ‘I gave it my best shot.’”

[Shermy]

"It was the money"

As I've said before Kerry lost because he did not sacrifice enough gamebirds to satisfy the gods.

[upchuck]

As for a run in 2008, Kerry said Sunday he would make a decision by the end of the year.

I can't wait.

Run sKerry, run!!

As I recall, most of the response to the Swifties was through 527 organizations. Supposedly they have been hobbled somewhat by the FEC. I'm sure they are working full time on finding loopholes :)

[rockabyebaby]

ATTENTION JOHN KERRY, now hear this, you fool, you lost the presidential race because you are a LIAR, you are USELESS, you are IGNORANT, get your head out of your ass, smell the coffee, face the fact that you are a LOSER, plain and simple pal, you are a LOSER, no one likes you, except maybe T Razor and I certainly question her judgement......

[goldstategop]

Jean Francois is a multi-millionaire. The "cry poverty" explanation for his loss reeks of desperation.
