Anybody else get a bit depressed when they see Kerry?

[cmaff05]

He had so much to offer this country as president. He was a few thousand votes away from taking Ohio and winning the presidency. Instead we got Bush for 4 more years and his crook administration.

I admire his service as Senator and I am not trying to diminish his work there, but he had so much to offer this country as president. You can't help but get a little depressed every time you see him and realize that he could have been sterring this country in the right direction if he was in office.

[Virginia Dare]

1. Yes, very...

almost as depressed as when I look at the idiot in chief.

[flpoljunkie]

2. Nope! I supported Kerry from the beginning, likewise Obama. I am very pleased with his endorsement

[cmaff05]

7. I am pleased with this endorsement too

And this is nothing against Obama, but I would have prefered for this election to be Kerry running for re-election.

[MBS]

23. me, too, on both counts

I'd just add, though, that I think that the timing and context of Kerry's endorsement is perfect, and I suspect that Kerry will be delighted to be out there in the fray again.

[cmaff05]

24. I feel the same way

[SharonAnn]

9. I'm not pleased with his endorsement. Hillary has accomplished more

than Obama, so if he was going to endorse anyone it should've been her.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Yes.

[babylonsister]

4. Yes. Our country and world would be very different. nt

[chimpymustgo]

5. Every time. Shame. Waste. And we all suffer. nt

[MBS]

6. not a day goes by when I don't think about how much difference his

presidency would have made to our country. But I am reassured by the fact that he's still out there, fighting to take our country back.

[Bluerthanblue]

14. me too -

I'm also happy to hear he's endorsing Obama in this election.

:hi:

[Bonobo]

8. Pissed that he cares more about a Patriots game then about the 2004 vote, yes.

[Inuca]

20. Such insight

and knowledge of facts :sarcasm:

[itsrobert]

10. If only he listened to Edwards and challenged Ohio

What could of been.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Kerry's a great man

sorry you don't see that. A lot of others do.

[Inuca]

22. The OP was not dissing Kerry

though I thought the same just looking at the subject line, somewhat misleading

[sandnsea]

12. He has worked tirelessly

On every issue that he campaigned on. He's exactly who he presented himself to be, there's no way anybody could be let down by him if they were paying attention to what he's been fighting for. People ought to know by now there was no reason to be doing any "nose holding" when voting for him.

[RoveRage]

13. I, for one, salute John Kerry!!!! n/t

[jonnyblitz]

15. He couldn't even beat somebody as horrible as Bush in 2004.

You bet I get depressed every time I see his sorry ass.

[cmaff05]

17. Do you say the same thing about Al Gore?

We went up against a guy with a 50% approval rating. We went up against the GOP attack machine and we lost. There is nothing to be ashamed of from Kerry's point of view. He wins Ohio and he wins the presidency.

[RoveRage]

21. Gore actually won though. n/t

[Wetzelbill]

16. both happy and sad

I like Kerry. He could have been an excellent president. I got to shake his hand in Tucson 4 years ago and he signed my hat. I am proud to say that I voted for him when he ran against the worst president in American history. I know that because of that vote, I will never have the shame of about half of our country who supported that other idiot. I have a soft spot for Kerry and the hope he and John Edwards gave me in those days.

But then, at the same time, knowing that none of it came to fruition is hard to deal with. These last few years have been bad for me. Having a shitheel in the WH just makes it even worse. So when I see Kerry, I see something that never came to be. And that is hard. And sometimes it still hurts.

[bdamomma]

18. I get very depressed when I see both Gore and Kerry, and to

speculate what kind of world we would be living in now if these evil scumbuckets did not steal the election. Damn these neo cons.

[hlthe2b]

19. Yes... especially as McCain resumes his "mantel" as "war hero"

and Kerry remains indefinitely maligned and 'swift-boated.'

I still wonder what happened behind the scenes to take the fight out of this "fighter"... He soldiers on and I have respect for him, but I am saddened when I see him at what could have been....:shrug:

[elixir]

25. Yeah, it's sad. He was so close and to think where we are now.

But I guess everything has a reason. Now we have three great candidates to chose from, if Kerry was in the WH we may not have had this opportunity.

It still makes me sad. Almost as sad as when I see Al Gore.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Yes, with his military and Senatorial experience, he would have been a wonderful president. He's

also a true liberal.
