If I ever needed another reason to hate John Kerry

I now have one.

If you haven't watched Hacking Democracy, you really should. If you come away from it thinking that the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections were legitimate, then you weren't paying attention. Or you're retarded.

But why beat up on Kerry? Well, in the movie there is a scene in which one of the 'election attorneys' Kerry had in Ohio tells a story about a call from Kerry the night of the election. During that call Kerry said that independent of demographics and other voting indicators, all precincts in New Mexico that had either electronic or optical scan systems were reporting for Bush.

Now, if that isn't enough of a reason to call bullshit, pull in the attorney's and delay your concession, I have no idea what is. I have a feeling he was trying to do what was best for the country. However, that's nothing more than bullshit ego and noblesse oblige. He dropped us in the grease.

Considering that he only recently regained his spine, one has to wonder if maybe now he'll contest the results of the 2004 election.

As far as I'm concerned, the only reason he *recovered* his spine is that he put up his finger into the wind and saw that trends were against Bush and the war more than they were in 2004. And he blew that round. I'm irritated right along with you. Heck, even Maccaca spent time trying to make sure his votes were counted correctly before he conceded to Webb; Kerry was supposed to be the fighter and he conceded before even giving his supporters any reason to believe he was fighting for them. And yeah, he KNEW that the results were flawed in NM.. and he did nothing. I only hope he himself realizes he's no longer any kind of viable candidate.
