JOHN KERRY Can Raise Awarenes of ELECTION FRAUD Better than Anyone

Americans despise their monkey-boy president. If John Kerry were to stand up right now and say "Based upon the evidence gathered by _____ I have come to the conclusion that the 2004 Election was rigged," a lot of those people who distrust the Resident President would believe him. It is better than believing the alternative, that a bozo like that could get elected fair and square.

If Kerry went on to say "We have to make fixing the Election System a priority before 2006 otherwise Karl Rove and Tom Delay will steal the Congressional elections" people would believe him, too. Everyone knows that Tom Delay is an election fixing criminal and that Karl Rove is a Rasputin wannabe who will do ANYTHING to keep his man from being impeached.

It isnt as if Kerry is ever going to be the Democratic nominee for president again and he doesnt have to worry about losing his Senate seat. He can be the poster child to jump start the

"Dont Blame Me, They Stole My Vote" movement.

So, why wont he do it??????

1. He's still working on how to prevaricate on the topic.
As this week demonstrates.

2. I still think if he tried he'd need to give up a lot
All his presidential aspirations, most of the good press he's attained lately, and even possibly his senate seat. They would smear him all to hell if that happened and people have alreay brainwahsed themselves with blind trust in our electoral system.

3. well, here is what he said in August re Voting Rights Act and Count Every
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 08:57 PM by emulatorloo
Vote Act.

here is just one link I came up with google re Count Every Vote Act:

http://kerry.senate.gov/v3/cfm/record.cfm?id=243484

8/03/2005
John Kerry on the 40th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act

-------

“Real election reform means passing the Count Every Vote Act of 2005, which seeks to end absurdly long lines, the erroneous purging of voters, voter suppression and intimidation, and unequal access to the voting process. The Count Every Vote Act would also incorporate a voter-verified paper trail for use by all voters, including those for whom English is a second language, illiterate voters and voters with disabilities – and mandates national standards in a variety of areas, including voter registration and counting provisional ballots.

“Real electoral reform also means fully funding the Help America Vote Act, funding the activities of the Election Assistance Commission, and helping states invest in better voting machines with paper trails. That means putting partisan politics aside and joining together as proud citizens to eliminate barriers to voting, encourage the greatest level of civic participation possible, and restore the confidence of the American people.

“One of the most significant ways we must continue the fight for civil rights and voting rights is with the nomination of our next Supreme Court Justice. We all know the crucial role the Supreme Court plays in protecting and preserving voting rights and civil rights. So far, what we’ve learned about Judge Roberts’ record on these areas is troubling, and I intend to keep pressing for all the relevant information on his record so the Senate can make an informed decision on this lifetime appointment.

“I hope Washington can come together to make election reform a reality, because there is no greater right than the right to vote. This precious right was hard-fought by brave American citizens who risked their lives to register voters, who marched, who stared down Bull Connor’s police dogs, who faced the threat of lynching, and some who even lost their lives fighting to open up the polls and make the right to vote real for every American.

4. Gathered by whom, though?
The DNC report was not exactly helpful in advancing that claim.

6. Well, if Mark Crispin Miller is correct
than Mr. Kerry was trying to get other Democrats, such as Chris Dodd to believe that election gruad happened, that their is a problem with the elctronic voting machines and that an investigation, at the least, is necessary.

Mr. Kerry never denied that election fraud occurred. He denied that enough proven fraud occurred to throw the election to Bush in 2004. That is a big difference.

If someone is actively trying to go around and change the minds of fellow Sentor sin order to get change and election reform, then that is good. That is what I want.

7. He would be the worst person to do that.
Any statement he would make in that regard is immediately suspect, and way too easy to pass off as sour grapes. He would become just another whiny loser.

He has done a great deal to work for election reform, and should continue to do so. He should also continue to press others to advance the investigation. But under no circumstances should he ever stand up and cry wolf.
