Kerry Says UBL Tape Cost Him the Election (Geraldo with the Scoop in Little Rock!)
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.

I thought that the media had proclaimed that the video tape had no impact? That's what they were telling us the Monday before the election -- the video tape was a wash between helping Kerry or helping Bush.

So, now that Bush beats his pants off, it can't be on the merits of the election, the issues, or he himself as an idiot ... it has to be due to some outside influence! Yeah, SURE!

Keep up the good work F'n. As long as you and the rest of the dims don't understand reality you will continue to fade into ever increasing irrelevance.

Kerry on why he lost: It was bin Laden's fault. That OBL tape scared people.


Whiner.

Kerry will blame everyone---else.

Trouble is, Kerry's problem was the messenger and the message. People didn't buy it.

Great!!!

He still hasn't figured out that he lost because he's a pompous ass! I hope he runs again in '08. I'll start saving money to give the Swifties right away.

The first time you catch your wife flashing her tits from the campaign bus to passing motorist because she is too loaded and surly, remove her from campaign trail.

Huh? Did she do this? YIKES! That's a mental image that won't wipe away soon!

Hey Kerry, maybe if you would have spoken from your heart instead of taken a poll as to what to say.....forget that.....we already know what your heart would have said.......

So, is sKerry going to sue OBL?

Paging John Edwards, paging John Edwards. An ambulance is passing by. Actually didn't sKerry say he'd hunt UBL down and kill him? I guess like OJ he has a lot of time on his hands now.

'It was that Usama tape-it scared them.'

Them? Does he mean "us," you and me and the rest of the great "unwashed masses," as opposed to "him" or "us," the great elites?

Them, as in "those people?"

And how in the world did he think his campaign could "rebut" a bin Laden tape?

As I posted on another thread, the fact that Kerry brought his effin butler on the campaign with him, might have deterred the electorate..

Oh, that's right! I forgot that!

I guess his pollsters didn't get back to him with the appropriate "rebutal" to sooth the American people!

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

I thought that a 3-point margin in the polls meant an even race because of DemocRAT expected voter fraud and all the college fools influenced by Moore with cell phones who could not be polled. Maybe Kerry lost because they could not pull off as much vote fraud this time.

"Kerry Fled while Good Men Bled!"

"Kerry Lied and Good Men Died!"

I can think of better reasons why Kerry lost!

maybe poor JFK lost because we weren't all that impressed by the "world leaders" who really wanted him to win. But blame is easy when you're Kerry, or any dim for that matter.

Leftists are always victims, blameless, and self-absorbed elitists. When they "LOSE", "LIE", or get "Caught with their hand in the cookie jar", it is ALWAYS someone elses FAULT. They LOSE like 7 year olds LOSE.
