Kerry is a hero, period
I see many are up in arms over him conceding but, in reality he has too. Dipshit W has won, I'm skeptical about the validity but it's impossible to prove.

We need to think about the future and how we can stop the hillbilly fuckers of America from running us into the ground.

The Democratic Party has stood up for some unpopular positions (but necessary!) for us and they are paying for it, it's our time to have their back DU.

1. If Kerry was a hero
He would be fighting til the last vote was counted.
He isn't.
He's laying down like a fucking dog to Bush.
He isn't fighting for us.
He's giving up.

13. They could win the voters by
offering a concrete, immediate exit plan from Iraq.

I know many voters who either stayed home or cast votes for third parties solely because they thought the war plans of both Kerry and * were too much alike.

When a nation is involved in an unjustified, immoral and illegal war, multi-year pull-out plans just don't cut it.

6. He is a Hero
Throughout all the BS and personal attacks Kerry stood strong, and by conceeding he is being the moral candidate that he is and always has been.

I agree - its a tough pill to swallow - but it will save the US agony that it doesn't need while we are in war.

It takes a brave man to take a stand, it takes a brave person to know when to move on as well.

14. Kerry and Edwards Now Liars, Too
All the votes have not been counted.
Last night this was reported:

Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, signaling that the party still hoped to win the close-fought U.S. election, said early on Wednesday that it would "fight for every vote." With the tally in the crucial state of Ohio very tight and potentially hanging on 150,000 uncounted provisional ballots, Edwards told supporters in Boston that he and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts would not give in. "John Kerry and I have made a promise to the American people that with this election every vote would count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote," Edwards, a North Carolina senator, said.

I cannot express the profound disappointment and sense of betrayal I feel now towards John Kerry.
