Last tuesday highlighted the difference between the 'Kerry' and 'ABB' vote
and it was very interesting to watch...you could tell who the kerry believers were- people with threads like 'kerry knows what he's doing' and 'he may yet unconcede'. then there were the ABB people who said things like 'kerry, wtf are you thinking', 'i'm never voting again', and let's not forget the occasional 'f_ck Kerry', etc.

let's try and remember that regardless of the reason you supported kerry, you shouldn't turn on him now. He's an American hero, and one hell of a politician. Right now, we need to stop belittling kerry or babbling about Obama in 2008, and focus on 2006- and getting rid of the damn voting machines!

3. This is a man...
not afraid to fight... He knew Nixon and the FBI were after him and he didn't back down. I'm beginning to believe that he's doing this the smart way, the lawyer way...getting all the info first and when he's convinced he "has it", meaning fraud or enough votes, he's turning his boat into the enemy... He knows what he's up against and he knows Bush knows too so it's a big chess game...

4. You have to remember that he wasn't the perfect candidate with some
like myself for two reasons that I won't repeat again. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he won't make a liar out of John Edwards when Edwards said that he and John Kerry will make sure every vote is counted. I realize it takes time for the analysis and the strategy, but I don't want to end up being a fool because I gave him time. I know he and the lawyers are not the statisticians, but after the statisticians find the anomolies - and the lawyers figure out the laws - someone has to move whether it is John K or John E or Terry McA or Shrum or whatever the heirarchy. If they don't move there is going to be a new Party that has as its first principle - EVERY VOTE COUNTS. INTIMIDATION - NO! MISINFORMATION - NO! UNSCRUTINIZED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE - NO! THIEVING SOFTEWARE AND ELECTION OFFICIALS - NO! HEAD IN THE SAND SENATORS AND CONGRESSPEOPLE - NO! A THEFT OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS - NO! HYPOCRISY - NO! LIES - NO!

6. i don't see how 'every vote counts' and supporting kerry are
not able to be mutually shared values.

7. I'm saying that I am assuming that Kerry and Edwards are making
sure that every vote counts because they must.

Can you imagine what it is like to have

1. voted in FL in 2000 and be disallowed for all the reasons we know about

2. voted in FL in 2004 and still be disallowed for probably even more reasons.

Add in all the other states.

Why should we let this happen?

10. I wasnt sure what was going on
Though I can tell you though I can't vote, I wasnt working just against Bush, I was working for John F. Kerry, a great man at that.
