Reply #15: So why did he receive this award?

[MadHound]

For running a half hearted campaign, one in which he was outmanuevered at every turn by Bushco and their sycophants, and ultimately lost? For being another "me too" Democrat for the past five years, during which he was in favor of the illegal, immoral war in Iraq, bent us all over for the Patriot Act, screwed the elderly with his no show concerning the prescription drug bill, mortaged away our childrens' future by voting for the NCLB Act?

Sorry, but I frankly don't think that Kerry deserved this award at this point in time. Being the losing Democratic candidate against a sitting President who has screwed over this country as badly as Bush has isn't something to be proud of. Kerry should have won this election going away, yet he botched it horribly. Yes, there was fraud and theft in the campaign, but it took the Greens and Nader to bring such issues to the attention of the public, Kerry was very silent on this matter until it was too late.

Kerry simply doesn't deserve this award. I'm sure JFK is rolling his eyes, if not spinning in his grave.
