Fox News ^ | 11/19/04 | Geraldo Rivera

Posted on 11/19/2004 9:42:39 AM PST by gopwinsin04

Senator John Kerry believes he lost the 2004 presidential election becuase of the video from Usama Bin Laden that surfaced just days before the November 2 election.

He told FOX News senior correspondant Geraldo Rivera that he believes the tape may have scared the American electorate.

Rivera spoke to Kerry in a holding room to the processional leading up to the formal opening of the Clinton Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.

'Tough luck, Senator,' Rivera said to Kerry, referring to the Democrats election loss.

Rivera said Kerry responded by saying, 'It was that Usama tape-it scared them.' [the American people]

Kerry said that the tape came out too late for his side to rebut and the Democratic campaign could not counteract in time for the Tuesday election.

The dumb $hit indicts himself.
If UBL caused more concern among Americans, and they turned to W instead of him (Kerry), doesn't that tell him anything?

Ummmm..... nope.

They might have been able to counteract if they had had anything worthwile to say, instead of: "Homina-homina-homina."

The moron was consistently 3-5 points behind throughout the campaign, yet expects us to believe it was the tape that sunk him.

So Kerry basically admits that the American people never saw him as an acceptable leader to take on the War on terrorism?

He was going to lose anyway. The polls consistently showed Bush leading by 3-5 points even after the debates. Nevertheless, Kerry's comments reflect that even he understood that national security issues were Bush's ace in the hole.

No senator, there's a plethora of reasons for your defeat,
but I credit the Swifties for educating the electorate about you.

Dims are in PSYCHOanalysis over losing an election, they want to secede from the United States, and they think they can run a more effective campaign on terrorists who want to nuke this country?
