johnf Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Unlike Al Gore, Kerry did the right thing in conceeding the election this early. In doing this he gets my respect as a man and a human being, and gave himself a large measure of dignaty. I only hope given the same situation Bush would have done the same thing.

buckee Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. It's kind of sad, when you think about it. I was kind of "almost" looking forward to seeing his next series of flip-flops. Now we will have to look elsewhere for our entertainment.

bulldawg Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. Sort of makes you wonder if he was actually covering something up by conceding? After all, Edwards said they would be fighting until every vote was counted. In any event, I'm glad it didn't drag out for another 10 days.

johnf Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. I heard last night that Ted Kennedy spent some quality time with Kerry last night. It was the opinion of the MSNBC guys that he was probibly reminding him of the 1960 election and what Nixon did for the nation. I think Kerry plain and simple did the right thing for once.

markyj987 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. John Kerry is the ultimate statesman. Despite how nasty this campaign got, John Kerry said the right things today. Though he did not win my vote, he won my respect and admiration. I've spent a significant amount of time on what was great about George W. Bush. In retrospect, I am somewhat ashamed at some of the things I said--or really-how I said some things about John Kerry-- though I do stand by the points I made. If you're a Democrat, I'm sure today has been hard. However, John Kerry showed the kind of leadership today your party hasn't had since Bill Clinton. Today, John Kerry made me proud to be an American and I say that without shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does know what to say and when to say it. Whether it is because he really means what he says or whether it is just because he knows what needs to be said to save face and just say the right things at the right time, is debatable ..LOL He is an excellent speaker, no doubt about it. He makes Bush look rather clumsy and awkward when it comes to public speaking. Kerry knows how to go out gracefully, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. regardless of his views, you are right, he deserves credit for ending this quickly and not trying to drag it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. I don't think you were really getting at anything there. Conceding defeat in a race that is unwinnable is A LOT different than responding to a terrorist attack. After more than a year of campaigning, criss crossing the country and basically breathing this campagin night and day, there is no point in dragging out the inevitable, even if all the provisional ballots were accepted they would all have to go for Kerry, I mean, I know the Red Sox broke the curse this year and all, but some things just don't happen.

Strut10 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man.

[/ QUOTE ] EXACTLY!!! What other choice did he have??? John Kerry got soundly beaten and that was that. It's kinda hard to contest a margin like that. That being said................I will be the dissenting voice here and say that John Kerry is still a jerk. We'll see about his "statesmanship" when it comes time for Bush to appoint a supreme court justice. we'll see if it's Kerry's call to not filibuster. Besides...............what difference does it make?? He's history. Toast. Walter who?? Bob who??? Al who??? John who?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry knew he lost and didn't want to unnecessarily put our nation through the same garbage that happened in 2000. He wasn't backing down, but facing the facts...and I respect the man for that.

wtnhunt Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: Kerry is a real man. Kind of surprised me to see him show some emotion yesterday. He did the right thing in my opinion and handled it as well as he could have. I do respect him for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
