Reply #16: There was concrete evidence of fraud after 2000

[Mabus]

I do understand. Voter fraud should have been issue for some time. It has been for many of us. It was a big deal to the students at FAMU, it was a big deal for people in Dade County and others all over Florida. What was Kerry's reaction: He told me and many others who were upset with voter fraud to quit crying in our teacups.

So, how far do you think Kerry is going to get with this legislation. How soon do you think he will do something (ANYTHING)? He's talks ab good game, I'm just not impressed with his follow-up.

Is he going to give this issue as much study as he did the Iraqi resolution before he vote FOR it? Because if he does, we are truly screwed.

“Stop crying in your teacups. It isn’t going to change. Get over it.”

That was the response of John Kerry to a liberal who condemned the theft of the presidency by George W. Bush. If the sentiment sounds familiar, that’s because it isn’t original. Kerry borrowed his words from America’s vapid conservative posse for whom chanting the phrase “Get over it” constitutes a dazzling display of wit.

Plagiarizing witticisms from Ann Coulter is not an endearing trait for a potential Democratic presidential nominee. It is one thing for liberals who are still incensed about the stolen election to be treated contemptuously by right wing banshees – it is an entirely different matter to incur such disdain from a man who seeks to be our champion.

But it is not unusual for Kerry to parrot the Republicans or be dismissive of liberal concerns. When members of the Congressional Black Caucus approached the senator for his support in challenging the Jim Crow tactics that subverted the 2000 presidential election, he told them to go away. http://www.makethemaccountable.com/podvin/more/040124_StopCrying.htm

I guess he's been studying this problem for four years now. During the times he wasn't telling US to get over it.
