What Kerry could have said, but has too much class.
[Former candidate Felber, flanked by his family and supporters, steps up to the podium in the bright autumn sunlight. Cheers and applause are heard.]
My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken, and spoken with a clear voice. So I am here to offer my concession. [Boos, groans, rending of garments]
I concede that I overestimated the intelligence of the American people. Though the people disagree with the President on almost every issue, you saw fit to vote for him. I never saw that coming. That's really special. And I mean "special" in the sense that we use it to describe those kids who ride the short school bus and find ways to injure themselves while eating pudding with rubber spoons. That kind of special.
I concede that I misjudged the power of hate. That's pretty powerful stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me take a moment to congratulate the President's strategists: Putting the gay marriage amendments on the ballot in various swing states like Ohio... well, that was just genius. Genius. It got people, a certain kind of people, to the polls. The unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited "moral values" as their biggest issue, those people changed history. The folks who consider same sex marriage a more important issue than war, or terrorism, or the economy... Who'd have thought the election would belong to them? Well, Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that. [Boos.] Now, now. Credit where it's due.
I concede that I put too much faith in America's youth. With 8 out of 10 of you opposing the President, with your friends and classmates dying daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to pay for rich old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on your asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic hillbillies carried the day. You voted with the exact same anemic percentage that you did in 2000. You suck. Seriously, y'do. [Cheers, applause] Thank you. Thank you very much.
There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that now is the time for healing, to bring the nation together. Let me tell you a little story. Last night, I watched the returns come in with some friends here in Los Angeles. As the night progressed, people began to talk half-seriously about secession, a red state / blue state split. The reasoning was this: We in blue states produce the vast majority of the wealth in this country and pay the most taxes, and you in the red states receive the majority of the money from those taxes while complaining about 'em. We in the blue states are the only ones who've been attacked by foreign terrorists, yet you in the red states are gung ho to fight a war in our name. We in the blue states produce the entertainment that you consume so greedily each day, while you in the red states show open disdain for us and our values. Blue state civilians are the actual victims and targets of the war on terror, while red state civilians are the ones standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah!? Bring it on!"
More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. I'm impressed by that, truly I am. Your sons and daughters who might die in this war know it's not true, the people in the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to attack know it's not true, but those of you who are at practically no risk believe this easy lie because you can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that I really envy that luxury. I concede that.
Healing? We, the people at risk from terrorists, the people who subsidize you, the people who speak in glowing and respectful terms about the heartland of America while that heartland insults and excoriates us... we wanted some healing. We spoke loud and clear. And you refused to give it to us, largely because of your high moral values. You knew better: America doesn't need its allies, doesn't need to share the burden, doesn't need to unite the world, doesn't need to provide for its future. Hell no. Not when it's got a human shield of pointy-headed, atheistic, unconfrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay the bills and play nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can never have. Because we're "morally inferior," I suppose, we are supposed to respect your values while you insult ours. And the big joke here is that for 20 years, we've done just that.
It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke, I realize, but it's a joke all the same.
Being an independent candidate gives me one luxury - as well as conceding the election today, I am also announcing my candidacy for President in 2008. [Wild applause, screams, chants of "Fel-ber! Fel-ber!] Thank you.
And I make this pledge to you today: THIS time, next time, there will be no pandering. This time I will run with all the open and joking contempt for my opponents that our President demonstrated towards the cradle of liberty, the Ivy League intellectuals, the "media elite," and the "white-wine sippers." This time I will not pretend that the simple folk of America know just as much as the people who devote their lives to serving and studying the nation and the world. They don't.
So that's why I'm asking for your vote in 2008, America. I'm talking to you, you ignorant, slack-jawed yokels, inbred drones, you redneck, racist, grade-school grads. Vote for me, because I know better, and I truly believe that I can help your smug, sorry asses. Vote Felber in '08! Thank you, and may God bless each and every one of you.
[Tumultuous cheers, applause, and foot-stomping. PULL BACK to reveal the rest of the stage, the row of cameras, hundreds of unoccupied chairs, and the empty field beyond.] Posted by Adam Felber at November 3, 2004 02:43 PM |
So how would the Management at BankOfAmerica like this going out on their mail servers?
Cronin, Kevin [mailto:kevin.cronin@bankofamerica.com]
Once again, the word "clueless" comes to mind.
What standards would those be?
They will continue to move further and further to the left. Like the nazis of germany, what they cannot win via the ballot, they will attempt to take through terror. Its coming. I actually expect some of these left wing lunatics to start working with terror groups in an effort to terrorize the nation into accepting their twisted beliefs. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
NFP
I have to laugh at this. It is so twisted. The Blue states vs. the red states. Bob Bechtel a democrat consultant actually said the south should secede from the country. They are going crazy!
B of A is based in San Francisco. 'Nuff said.
Kevin Cronin?
REO Speedwagon?
Actually, the President of Bank of America is a big Kerry supporter.
True, but they have local branches all over the Red states. Maybe a few FReepers ought to mention this email next time they stop in to do their banking.
i thought that name sounded familiar...

If I'm not mistaken, the scholastic reader (can't quite remember the name) had something like 60% of the vote going to Bush. It would seem to me that the kids were largely echoing their parent's sentiments.
My son is only four and if you ask you wants to take your money, or who wants to take your guns, he'll reply "liberals". I'm trying to keep him on the right path early on.
Could be someone has appropriated his e-mail address.
I love it!!!
The spoiled brats really think that normal folks will respond to their insults. Living in California, I can confirm that the dems really believe everyone else is too stupid and too religious to trust with a vote.
I'm waiting for the, "I'm going to hold my breath until you vote dem" strategy to emerge.
How 'bout us idiots in the red states just stop sending the refined petroleum, natural gas and food products to the blue states for a few months this winter. Just to remind them how we all work together in this nation.
If the country truly did split, it would take about 15 minutes for most businesses to leave the over-regulated, over-taxed blue states for the safe haven of the red ones. Lets see them produce the majority of the wealth then.
