John Kerry, the center has moved left...so stop pandering to the void
Edited on Sat May-22-04 04:24 PM by TruthIsAll
The war is a mistake. A disaster. A big lie. Many of us knew it was a sham at the time you voted for it, albeit under special conditions of UN cooperation, but ultimately you fell for the BushCo lies.

Now the majority of voters wants out of Iraq. And you are stuck in the middle, while the electorate moves to the left - not because of you, but because of the myriad failures of Bush.

So you are winning, even as you stumble. You are running against the worst president in history, and yet many of us feel you will still lose. Not because you won't get the most votes, but because you are doing nothing about the impending BBV disaster.

Do you see what is going on in Florida? Its deja vu as Democratic voters are once again being purged from the voter rolls. Will you let Bush and his brother Jeb get away with it, like they did in 2000?

Time is running out. We need a voter verified ballot and we need it now. Why your silence on the Holt bill and the Diebold shenanigans?
If you keep silent on BBV much longer, you will lose whatever passion still exists for your candidacy from your base support.

Must we wait until the Convention? When will you step up and confront this, the mother of all issues?

You can talk about health care from now till the cows come home, but if the WH is stolen from you, like it was from Gore, it won't mean a damn thing.

Oh, by the way, McCain is a Republican. He's a war hero, but he wants Bush to win. I think you know of at least one Democratic war hero who would like to see you win who would be a better choice.

BBV isn't just a "left" issue.
It is how the Republicans are stealing our country!
