> Re-Vote Ohio

Kerry’s trip to the Middle East means he is not going to fight for democracy on January 6th, in spite of all the evidence of voter manipulation, machine tampering, illegal and unethical lock downs, refusals to testify under oath, obvious conflicts of interest, media block-outs, and destruction of evidence. Thus concludes his very inept and disappointing candidacy. I can guarantee you, I will NEVER be suckered into supporting this man again (with my money, by canvassing or with my vote).

The Democrats have been soul searching for ’what went wrong’--- when it is so clear that the only thing that went wrong throughout the campaign and afterwards is that Kerry wrongly conceded everything without a fight. He did not fight the allegations of being a flip-flopper, he did not fight the allegations of the Swift Boat liars, he did not effectively fight the impression that Bush was stronger on terror, and most importantly, he did not challenge the Ohio election. Even though this man had the everything going for him and bush had everything against him, Kerry was not able to stand up for himself. What a frustrating and disappointing candidate---the wrong man at a most critical time.

Furthermore, the DNC is very easily intimidated by the Karl Rove operatives, who manipulate by threatening to call Democrats ‘poor sports’ or ‘whiners’. Rather than put forth an effort to portray themselves as champions of democracy — for the people and by the people—the Democrats just shrug their shoulders, lower their heads in shame and figure they need to be more like the Republicans. In fact, being more like the Republicans entails fighting a dirty battle, cheating and lying, and using all the unethical tactics that can be thought of to win at any cost. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Democrats are not capable of this. In fact, they have convinced me that, on the whole, they truly do behave like ‘girlie men’ (with the exception of real men like John Conyers and Jesse Jackson).

There is plenty of evidence to indicate that the vote was rigged. Based on the Republican response to inquiry and investigations, it seems that the Bush team must have a lot to hide. However, I have totally lost faith in the Democratic Party to do what is right and just. I think the current approach of tiptoeing around Republicans to avoid negative attacks will backfire in the next few years, as former supporters realize the Democrats failed to protect America from evil and destruction, even though they had the opportunity to do so.
