I don't feel sorry for Kerry and Edwards either.

I DO feel sorry for the whole world though. Bush already caused so much harm and I truly fear for what is going to happen in the next four years.

I'm not weeping for Kerry, and certainly I'm not afraid of Bush.

But I think we ought to give Kerry credit for his behavior today.

Tomorrow may be a different story....

But he gave it his best shot and when he realized he couldn't win he didn't sue, and he spared us another Florida. He put his party and his people before himself. Let's give him that, okay?

Satuka: "Bush already caused so much harm [to the whole world]"

Absolutely. What he did to the Taliban and the Ba'athists was disgraceful. How dare he remove such peaceful, kind, harmless governments from power. How dare he make it possible for Afghan women to show their faces in public and vote. How dare he open to for the world to examine the records of Ba'athist torture, rape and the unmarked graves of slaughtered children in the deserts of Iraq. What other even greater horrors will he visit upon the world in the next four years? It is truly frightening!

I avoided getting my hopes up about this election until the final days, but it is disappointing to lose, no doubt. I have not heard anybody say that we should feel sorry for Kerry and Edwards. They are big boys (as am I ) and we will all get over it. I do find it interesting that of the three op-eds I came home to tonite, one was Micheles' vitriol, one was Alan's condescension, and the third is this virtual non sequitur slamming Kerry again. The guy lost already, how about a little graciousness, geez.

"The guy lost already, how about a little graciousness, geez."

Truth will out. He's still a thief in a lot of our eyes.

As his daughter did last night, I would bet he will continue to call the SwiftVets, POWs and Vets for Truth a bunch of liars. So be it.

I'll be civil, but I will not be gracious. I have my voice back. I have a lot of them behind me this time.

Well Cap'n. I caught just a brief analysis today that said the largest impact on the defeat of Kerry's attempt to convince the American people he was the right person for the job .. was the Swifties. They were more believable than Kerry. So I think vindication has been achieved. Kerry will never believe he did anything wrong, which is ironically hypocritical of him.

What is the point of this post? No one is 'crying' for Kerry. They're crying for the increasingly stupid and despised country Bush's reelection is creating. You deserve everything you get.

After 10 years of increasing Republican majorities in Congress and the re-election of a clearly conservative President, you'd think that the left would figure out that the country is moving away from their 1960 worldview. Lead, follow or get out of the way. We've now flipped seamlessly from almost 2 years of Bush Lied, Bush is brain dead, Bush is Wrong, Bush's Brain, Fahrenheit 411 and so on, not to mention the MSM attacks that came unravelled like cheap sweaters under the light of day. Without even taking a breath it's now a country deeply divided and Bush and Republicans are already being chastized and criticized for not reaching out to "heal". Maybe, just maybe it's the Democrats who need to reach out to the MAJORITY of Americans who by their votes are consistently expressing the opinion that their(Dem's) claim to be representative of the "mainstream" of American politics is so much blather (or maybe "drather"). There is a train moving forward in America and a steadily growing MAJORITY is on board. Those who don't want to be left at the increasingly deserted station need to wake up and realize that intelligent, reasoned criticism is welcomed in the discourse but not without presenting an alternative course of action. War is either fighting or surrendering. America has chosen to fight and she has chosen her leader by a convincing MAJORITY. The way to play in the process isn't to whine and recriminate. Come up with some ideas if you want to keep the Democratic party alive. Stamping your feet and hurling childish insults is for kids not for those who want to lead the world's most influential populace. If you want to come into the tent, you have to lift the flap. That's not possible if you spend your time and intellectual capital whining about how unfair and unreasonable everyone else is.

"If only more people had voted.."

"A large turnout favors the Democrats."

A large turnout isn't to vote "you're doing a good job, Mr. President."

ALL NONSENSE

Give the electorate a little credit. Any candidate with Jimmy Carter and Michael Moore standing at his side is handicapped already. And then there is the rich gal who spouts off about everything. And the bogus reports by CBS and 60 Minutes. And all the pictures of Kerry windsurfing...

He was self-doomed.
