This is what Kerry had to face

[quinnox]

All those people who are ragging on Kerry, do you forget what the right wing did to him?

Lets remember how much crap they had to throw at Kerry, and he still almost pulled it off despite it all.

1. Expect more of the same as this season continues.

2. He could have hit back...

but chose to sit on his laurels and let it get out of hand.

4. Yup, that was his campaign's fatal flaw

He didn't respond quick enough to these false accusations. He let them fester and build up. It hurt him. It might have cost him the presidency.

3. I want to see Edwards endorse Obama, just to see what happens.

5. And Kerry's response to them was?

I remember waiting for him to do...something. But what little he did was not enough.

And this type of crap is going to escalate this year, because they have so much more to lose now.

Personally, I want someone that has a clear message and that can withstand the barrage of what is going to be thrown at them. And I think Edwards is the best one for that.

6. He obviously was unfit to command considering the way he

conceded even knowing the 'circumstances' of the vote tabulation. He obviously wasn't the same man as the one that fought in Viet Nam because the one that ran for president was a weakling defeatist.

7. A lie to Kerry's heart and no response for how long......

8. He has had nothing thrown at him like Hillary has and for a lot more damn years

FOR 20 YEARS THE REPUBLICANS AND THE OTHER HATE HILLARY GROUP HAS SLURRED, slammed, lied, flamed and down right dirty common tricks against her. Kerry's only lasted 1 year.
