FoxNews says "isn't it dangerous to now go in and count the votes?"
On the "Big Story" the host asks this question of the ex-judge. The ex-judge says it's "theoretically possible" that Ohio could go to Kerry. The host then says "isn't it dangerous to now go in and count these votes, now that Kerry has conceded?"

way to go Kerry.

15. same here, and CNN and MSNBC and other one I don't remember name
they're all fuckers.

fox doesn't have to worry. The dumped diebold votes are more than can come in on paper now. And we'll never be able to get those machine votes back.

Now we need to work to get paper printers on the machines or get rid of them,

7. Kerry gave a speech -- it has NO legal impact ...

9. Edwards said in concession speech
we will continue to count EVERY VOTE.

I don't believe it will happen, but wouldn't it be cool? After the bushies have celebrated and gloated if the win was RIPPED away from them.:evilgrin:

11. it's FOX
Not Kerry.

It positively sickens me to see the knives come out for him. He deserves better than this.

Here's a scenario.... Suppose, as this thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2584338) suggests, this is a cover. Now, suppose that K/E are making plans to see to it that the 5.5, 6, maybe 7 million uncounted ballots get counted, behind the scenes.... and despite probable Diebolding of Florida, despite alleged fraud in NM and OH, he ekes out a win. That'd be a lot more difficult, divisive, and disputed if he went through the process that Gore did. This would be a sneaky way of doing it.

Those who posted on that thread may be way off base, but don't tear us down... please. If our hopes are false it'll be proven soon enough. Have mercy. None of us are enemies here.

:hug:


(Btw, "dangerous to count the votes"??? That proves something about that so called news network.)

16. I agree with you on much of that, but
I've wondered for quite a while why Democrats even go on this propaganda channel.

Why don't Dems come out and say collectively something like: "we are not going to go on FoxNews any longer. It's a biased channel run by Republicans."

The lack of Dems on that channel .. would surely get coverage and highlight the agenda of FoxNews. By continuing to appear on that channel, they just allow FoxNews to claim they are unbiased and "fair and balanced."

Of course, the democrats ... like John Kerry .. have no guts to actually take a stand.

Why don't they take a stand like Kucinich did with Hardball?

19. Faux Reasoning
It doesn't matter if Dems go on Faux or not. What matters is that we stop padding their viewership. That goes straight to ratings and the ad rates.

Of course, the democrats ... like John Kerry .. have no guts to actually take a stand.

Ah, the circular firing squad starts.

Senator Kerry put his life on hold for two years and ran himself around the country to the point of collapse. He took on a President that many at the time said was unbeatable. He mobilized one of the great grass roots dem efforts in many years and had to overcome a cowed media, a Repug attack machine honed by years of practice, a White House that was handing out special favors like flavored condoms at a Castro Street bathhouse, and an army of fundamental Christians who see President Jesus as some sort of divine savior.

He came damn close to pulling it off.

He fought the good fight and should be congratulated not scorned.

20. I once called and asked to have the religious network blocked
on my cable, and couldn't do it. They only block porn, which Faux is, of course. Just set your remote to skip right over the pigs. I won't land even for a 1/100th of a second on that channel.
