147. Kerry earns my respect again
Some of you (those that aren't secretly trolls) are living in a fantasy world.

You seem to have no idea how much Kerry is maligned by the press. You seem to have no idea how fast those that supposedly had his back were quick to turn against him. You seem to have no idea how much power this gang of thugs that occupies our halls of government has.

Does Kerry have the support of Clinton? Of the majority of the congress? Of the media?

No no and no. Just for starters.

Him standing up and contesting his own election without demonstrable proof would make him a living joke. The media would tear him to shreds.

IT doesn't take much for our own to tear him to shreds now.

He addressed the concerns. He is asking YOU to to do something. He's aksing YOU to keep up the fight. Again, folks, the difference between those that call themselves Democrats in 2005 and those that call themselves Republicans is the difference between wrong and right.

We understand the difference. It's about doing the right thing.

It's not about winning. That will take awhile.

Maybe he was so so wrong to conceede so early, maybe not. Maybe that allowed this movement to get going. The one thing I'm sure of is Kerry understands just how rotten the system is and what he's up against. Do you?

"That's why I will soon introduce legislation to reform our election system, ensuring transparency and accountability in our voting system and that all Americans have an opportunity to vote and have their vote counted."

Wow. I suppose it would be better if he took up arms and contested the election. Good lord, you can't even get a large number of people in the streets to contest it. Without YOU Kerry is nothing.

Get it people-you are the government. Not this one man.
