Let them keep kidding themselves. Kerry didn't cost them the election, THEIR IDEAS cost them this election. "Global Test" cost them this election.
They keep thinking that Kerry's "going to church" somehow should have endeared him to the "go-to-church" crowd. They don't GET it. The Christians that voted for Bush make decisions based on what the candidate BELIEVES, not whether or not he goes to church every Sunday. And Kerry's beliefs don't square with the heartland of this country. The "silent majority" if you will rose up against a Massachusetts Supreme Court that decided to tell the rest of the country the new definition of marriage...and against the candidate of that state who never criticized that court for its action.
This race would have been a Blow-Out if the media simply reported the news. Instead they played Full Uniform Cheerleader to Kerry and did not ask him a single tough question while slamming the President with all of the Kerry & DNC talking point lies.
