When Did Kerry Ever Say "I've Got Your Back".
During the Concession speech, someone in the audience yelled to KERRY "we've got your back".

When did Kerry say "I've got your back"?

I've seen a multitude of DU'ers posting this.

What did I miss?

7. Apparently With My HEAD UP MY ASS!
I never heard him say this or even read it.

Before the Concession speech, I never heard a DU'er mention it in regards Kerry... and I'm a pretty avid reader on this forum.

4. during his concession speech.....
Boston, MA - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. You just have no idea how warming and how generous that welcome is, your love is, your affection, and I'm gratified by it. I'm sorry that we got here a little bit late and a bit short.

Earlier today, I spoke to President Bush, and I offered him and Laura our congratulations on their victory. We had a good conversation and we talked about the danger of division in our country and the need – the desperate need – for unity, for finding the common ground, coming together. Today, I hope that we can begin the healing. In America it is vital that every vote count, and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process.

I would not give up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail. But it is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won't be enough outstanding votes for us to be able to win Ohio. And therefore, we can not win this election.

My friends, it was here that we began our campaign for the presidency. And all we had was hope and a vision for a better America. It was a privilege and a gift to spend two years traveling this country, coming to know so many of you. I wish that I could just wrap you in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually all across this nation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Audience member: We still got your back!

Thank you, man. And I assure you – you watch – I'll still have yours.

I will always be particularly grateful to the colleague that you just heard from who became my partner, my very close friend, an extraordinary leader, John Edwards. And I thank him for everything he did. John and I would be the first to tell you that we owe so much to our families. They're here with us today. They were with us every single step of the way. They sustained us. They went out on their own and they multiplied our campaign, all across this country.

5. and from the moonie times 10/3/04
ORLANDO, Fla. — Demo-cratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, arguing that President Bush has lost touch with middle-class voters, promised them yesterday that "I've got your back."
    With one new poll, for Newsweek magazine, after Thursday's debate on national security showing Mr. Kerry having erased Mr. Bush's polling lead, the Massachusetts senator pivoted sharply from the war in Iraq to the economy, tying both issues together in charging the president doesn't see the real world, and therefore, can't make the right choices.

6. Well, that phrase is pretty meaningless right now....
...because KKKarl Rove came up from behind and stole the election for Bush once again. This will happen over and over and over again is the United States until everyone is given the constitutional guarantee that they will be able to vote, that their votes will all be counted, that the voting system will be uniform and fair and that whoever wins the majority of votes, is the winner!

This means majority voting and campaigning overall, something this country probably will not allow for decades if ever.
