Put yourself in Kerrys shoes, What would you do?

Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 01:27 AM by walldude

I posted something like this as an answer to another thread but I thought it deserved a little more thought.

Think about John Kerry's history. The real one. Vietnam. He came back from the war and stood up, against his government, against the odds, and probably against his better judgment, for what he believed in. He fought. He fought the good fight. He fought against Iran-Contra. Against an international banking and drug cartel. He fought with John McCaine against an apathetic government to finally find out the truth about POW's. (That bastard really hates the troops :eyes: )

Now think about what we know about Bush. The war, Valerie Plame, Abu Grahib, Medicare cost scandal, secret energy policy meetings, PNAC, the list goes on and on. Now think about how much more evil shit you would know about Bush if you were a Senator and perhaps privy to some classified documents. I'll never forget the look on Ben-Veniste's face when he asked Rice to allow the "Bin Laden Determined To Attack In The U.S." document to be de-classified during the 9/11 commission hearings. You could just see in his eyes that it would have destroyed the administration. Bob Graham admitted in his book that the administration classifies documents in the name of national security, not because the information needs to be classified but because of it's political ramifications. People high up are hinting that the shit goes even deeper than we know.

Now, think about all the evil nasty shit they said about Kerry during the campaign. Not just Kerry either but his fellow vets McCaine, and Cleland. A bunch of draft dodgers calling them un-patriotic and against the troops. Lies upon lies, vicious attacks on personal beliefs, gleefully evil attacks on the family's. Not only were they vicious but they enjoyed it.

Now remembering Kerry's history, put yourself in Kerry's shoes. You've served the public for over 20 years. You are rich beyond your wildest dreams, you have a great family, you could retire at any moment and live happily ever after. You lost a rigged election, and thats not the half of it, it was against the most oppressive regime in American history. You got more votes than any other President in history except for your opponent, who has a history of fixing elections. You stand against the greatest threat to the Planet Earth since the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. You have the money, you have the connections. You have a fireball of a wife who is probably ready to take up arms for you. Most importantly, you have... nothing to lose. What would you do.

I think if I were John Kerry I would realize that if I started going off half cocked with no evidence I would be made to look like a fool, so to placate the enemy I would concede and let him play out his little re-election fantasy. Then I would take those thousand lawyers I had and get to work. No one is infallible and as openly brazen about it's crimes as this administration has been, you know somewhere there is a loose end. A person who will talk, some unshredded paperwork, a machine that will spit out the vote count that matches the exit polls. I would be silent but relentless. Knowing that there is an extremely high probability that there are hundreds of thousands of lives at stake here, nothing on earth would stop me from finding what I needed. Irrefutable evidence. Once I had it I would use it to personally wipe that smarmy motherfucking smirk right off that assholes face. Pardon my language.

Personally I would pay every penny I had to see the smirk wiped off the chimps face. But I doubt it's even enough money to wipe his ass. Kerry and Soros on the other hand.....
