59. Anti-Kerry rant the day after Kerry does something
1) Only the Greens and the Indys are standing up. And the name next to theirs is? Say it with me boys and girls -- John Kerry. Interesting you can see the Greens and Libs, but can't see the guy standing right freaking next to them.

2) If he'd forgotten us, if this were all about 2008, he wouldn't be any where near the fraud issue AT ALL. There's no political gain in it. It won't make him president. The most we can hope for is reform and perhaps making something stick to the Bush regime. Most people don't think there is fraud, so most people haven't even noticed what's going on in Ohio. Even those I know who believe in the fraud don't think there's anything that really can be done.

As it is, Kerry is involved in Ohio, in Washington and in Louisiana. Some say that's only because he was pressured. Again, even with pressure, what does he gain by getting involved? We are not the base. We are a vocal minority.

3) If there was no fight in him, then 10 years after BCCI went down, he wouldn't have been a voice in the UK for bank reform. He blasted the Bank of England for being so slow to reform and stood with the people who had lost money in BCCI. All for people who can't vote for him.

How much more will he do for those in his own country.

He's not flashy. He is quietly doing what he can. I don't expect a big dog and pony "LOOK AT ME, I'M HELPING YOU, NOW VOTE FOR ME IN 2008" show. Now that would be campaigning, and odd campaigning at that, because as I say, we are the minority.

If you're not aware that he's a good man, then your support would seem to me to have been pretty shallow despite what you say. If you're going to be a fair-weather friend and take all your frustrations out on Kerry and not aim it at the Bush regime where it belongs, if you don't like the way the game is being played, then personally I wouldn't mind if you took your ball and went home.

I'm here for the long haul, even if I have to stand here all by my lonesome. Wuss out if you want. I nearly beyond caring.
