The Alternate Kerry Letter

Maybe the first draft is more to (nearly) everyone's liking??


Dear friends,

Elections in America SUCK big time! Diebold, Triad, and ES&S are all owned and operated by Republicans, and it's them -- THEM, ladies and gentlemen -- that count your vote. Or not count it, if you're VWD (Voting While Democrat) in a swing state.

But guess what? The shit's gonna hit the fan tomorrow!

I was ROBBED!! The sonsabitches ROBBED me! At least, that's what I think. We haven't been allowed to look at the aforementioned GOP-company-manufactured machines and don't have irrefutable proof, but I'm going to please all the Internet activists out there and make this unsubstantiated assertion that, if wrong, would make me a national laughingstock. See, I'm reporting for duty! I didn't let you down!

We've got to get to the bottom of this. Tomorrow's a fine time to start. Those GOP sonsabitches stole two elections. Call up Hastert and Frist and give them a piece of your mind, then LET'S ROLL!

Representative Conyers is going after the goods, that proof that we need but that I don't have yet, despite my assertion. Good for him. We are going to nail the asses of Blackwell, Bush, Cheney, Rove, and their fellow election thieves to the wall.

To Washington, with torches and pitchforks!!


Senator Kerry




(P.S. If anyone doesn't get it, this is satire. Kerry wrote no such letter.)


Wait... anyone else see the problem???

:grr:


Sorry if this is flamebait, but I'm shocked and awed at the reaction to this. I thought we'd all agreed that this was about election reform!

I think that Kerry's letter may be very clever. He will not be there but did not instruct Senators not to sign and said that we should call the two bozos that stand in the way... That's 3M phone calls. I think that one if not more Senators will stand and the right wing media machine has no way to attack them until after the fact when they will look like they are hiding something. Kerry being in Iraq may be a very wise thing as it can only be portrayed in the media as patriotic.

I am withholding judgment until tomorrow

Now it's time to make some phone calls as instructed in the original letter.

Stay out Kerry, this is beyond you now. It can't be turned into a partisan issue or nothing will be done...he knows that.

DON'T KNOW if we won or not since so many people were disenfranchised and can not be counted.

My heart is feeling heavier today for some reason.. :-(

That's all I have to say.

While I go slam my head into a wall repeatedly and try not to stab anyone with a fork like my namesake, Betty Blue.

Uh, folks..

Go ahead and flame me. I can take it; my name says so.

The point is...

There is no flipping way Kerry could have written anything like what so many of us seem to want.

:eyes:

But, for the record, I think your letter rocks. How about we send these flames where they belong.

DU Dramatic
Doomsayer

as unrealistic as it would be to get a letter like that from Kerry, it really hit home with what we'd all LOVE to hear from Kerry! And perhaps that IS what Kerry WISHES he could say! :)

Remember when Kerry talked about his testimony in front of Congress about Vietnam. He said that now he would have phrased it differently. I think that's what he's doing now.

hereinmissouri! :D

Welcome to DU! What a time you've picked to stumble into this madhouse.

(And my condolences on your state. ;) )

:evilgrin:

Make that your OP and I'll nominate your thread for the homepage.

:hi:

Wait till tomorrow.

By OH Constitutional law, fraud, when proven, is an offense which INVALIDATES the OH election. All bets are off.

Believe in our power to make progressive change!

So does Kerry.

What he described in the letter is FRAUD.

What he SAID, was that his legal team was unable to find proof that the fraud had swung the election. Which is true.

I think it did swing the election. I can't vouch for what he thinks.

But no one can prove it because we can't look at the machines or the ballots.

from your spin.

There is NOT proof yet that fraud swung the election. At least, not that's been verified and released.

I believe it did, and who knows, Kerry may, but without proof, he can't say it!

He's said that they've found no evidence that it did. That's a heck of a lot easier to backtrack from, if (when???) it turns out to be wrong, than it would be to backtrack from saying the opposite. It's just playing it safe.

... of 'victory'. And what happens tomorrow is not the end of an investigation, but an appeal to begin one, in order to determine the legality of the vote in OH and hopefully, other states like FL, PA, OH, NM, etc.

So there is not a burden of absolute proof. At this point, there is a burden of argument.

An investigation to verify or refute such proof can result from tomorrow's debate.
