He's Back

Not content to stand by his concession speech the day after the election, John "did you know I'm a war hero" Kerry is back in the news today in the NYTimes. On a day when it would have been more prudent to praise MLK and the civil rights movement that he led, Kerry decided it would be better to bash the president and to whine about voter irregularities.

The Massachusetts Democrat, Bush's challenger in November, spoke at Boston's annual Martin Luther King Day Breakfast. He reiterated that he decided not to challenge the election results, but ``thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote.''

"Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, eleven hours to vote, while Republicans (went) through in 10 minutes -- same voting machines, same process, our America,'' he said.

I don't remember being able to get through the lines in 10 minutes, and yes I'm a republican. Once again Kerry is satisfied listening to the MSM echo every crackpot theory out there on voter fraud and accept it as fact. Hang on, there's more.

"In a nation which is willing to spend several hundred million dollars in Iraq to bring them democracy, we cannot tolerate that here in America too many people were denied that democracy,'' Kerry said.

I was pleasantly surprised when the Times actually quoted an opposing point of view from Mitt Romney.

Republican Gov. Mitt Romney cautioned that there are also GOP concerns about voter fraud on the Democratic side.

"I think it's helpful if elected officials and leaders look at both sides of the issues, and that we take action to make sure that citizens qualified to vote do vote, and that people do not defraud the system,'' Romney said after the breakfast.

Last but certainly not least, the senator has not learned from his mistakes. If you recall, during the campaign Kerry said that he had been speaking to foreign leaders who were "secretly" pulling for his victory. Well today he had this to say:

"Throughout Europe, as I met with European leaders, it's clear that they're prepared to do more, but the (Bush) administration has not put the structure together for people to be able to do it,'' he said.

Kerry declined to specify which leaders expressed a desire to help more with Iraq, or how (emphasis mine). He met separately last week with French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Both leaders have been critical of the U.S.-led invasion.

Does any of this sound familiar? With every word that escapes from his mouth, he shows that the majority of the country made the right choice. I have never thought that he stood a chance in the 2008 race, and he is proving that fact every day. My friends on the left need to understand that 40% of the votes that went for Kerry in November were actually votes against Dubya. That won't be an issue in 2008.
