Reply #34: Some will respond that they DID support the candidate

but you can't truly support someone you don't support. I hope people have learned that lesson. It's not support when your only reason for voting for Kerry is because he's not Bush. That's was never going to persuade enough folks. Or maybe it did, if you're on the fraud squad.

I do hate to see the revisionists try and take the debate victories away, saying anyone could have won against the smirking chimp. Well, Gore won, but as someone said this time after the first debate, we didn't all sit up all night talking about how Gore won.

Speaking of which, anyone else STILL having sleep issues. I swear, this campaign turned me into a third-shifter. Quite annoying.

Yes, I too thank Kerry for reporting for duty. And I get really, really depressed when I see all the bashing. Mostly, I think, because it makes me feel like what I want is nearly a hopeless case.

I've already had a Kerry presidency stolen from me once. I still want what was taken from me. Is that so wrong? Why does it have to be "He's had his chance. Let someone else try." No. Why can't I have what I fought for months to get? Why not 2008? Why the hell not?

That's why I rail so hard against the Kerry bashers. Not those who have legitimate criticisms. The bashers. The weeny whiners. The drive-by hope-killers. Get your mitts off of my hope.

You'll have to give me a damned good reason not to continue to go for what I feel has been taken away. A good man in 04 will still be a good man in 08.

I can't believe, considering how I feel now, that I was still ABB as late as June or 2004.
