worked to undermine Kerry throughout that time and even after to diminsh his role in world politics (similar to what they did to Gore post2000)

Late in Senator John Kerry's May 27 speech in Seattle explaining his national security strategy, he did what he does in nearly every foreign-policy speech that he gives -- excoriate Saudi Arabia for supporting terrorism and President George W. Bush for supporting the Saudis and failing to end America's dependence on foreign oil.

"If we are serious about energy independence, then we can finally be serious about confronting the role of Saudi Arabia in financing and providing ideological support for al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups," said Kerry, neatly eliding several election hot-button issues. The presumptive Democratic candidate for the presidency went on to promise that he would impose "tough financial sanctions" and "name and shame"
nations that launder money for terrorists. "To put it simply," he warned, "we will not do business as usual with Saudi Arabia."

How much of this did you hear DURING the election as shown by the M$M? THis is exactly what they DIDN'T want most Americans to hear. This is what they editted out regularly in their broadcast news reports of the campaign.
