Opaque Lucidity

Cue The Whiner

You have to hand it to John Kerry: he represents the victimhood base of his party very well. The Senator is still claiming that he lost the election through Republican trickery. If you read some of his examples, you have to wonder if someone so stupid as to fall for something like this should be voting in the first place.

Kerry supporters have charged that voting irregularities in largely Democratic areas made it difficult for voters to cast ballots in the November election. A lawsuit in Ohio cited long lines and a shortage of voting machines in predominantly minority neighborhoods, but the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the suit.

That's because they saw no merit in the case. The Ohio Supreme Court is not exactly a conservative mouthpiece.

“Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you’ve ever had a parking ticket, you’re not allowed to vote,” he said.

He's serious. Keep that in mind.

The problem with Kerry (this is actually a good thing for conservatives) is that he doesn't realize that his failure lies in a)his persona and b)his message. His service in Vietnam and subsequent betrayal of the men he served with turned people off. His flip-flopping on every conceivable issue (except for abortion and his love of the UN) turned people off. Kerry knows this, but these are the things which now define him. To admit that his loss was due to his flaws and the platform of his party would be to admit that his national political career is over.

Run in 2008, Johnny. Go ahead.
