> Was the 2004 Election Stolen? By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

4 June 2006, 09:47

I am convinced the media will not pay attention to this unless Kerry states he agrees with the premises in the Rolling Stone article. However, we all know that Kerry thinks silence is Golden. Silence to the false accusations of the Swift Boaters and silence to the election being stolen from him.

He thinks that if he does not make waves, he will have a second chance at winning the presidency the next time around. After all, he still has millions left over from donations given for 2004 legal battle recounts. My understanding was that he plans to put this money (collected under false pretenses) toward a 2008 bid.

If Kerry had not been silent to the Swift Boater’s smear campaign, he could have won by a landslide. If he had not been silent to the many ‘inconsistencies’ in the 2004 voting outcome, he could have shown the world that Mr. Bush did not win as he claimed and that Mr. Bush certainly did not have ‘political capital’ to spend. Silence is NOT Golden. Silence is for wimps and losers. Silence is the way ‘liberals’ deal with things and why the word ‘liberal’ has a bad connotation. Silence has resulted in needless loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of respect in the world, loss of health coverage, loss of national security, loss of environmental integrity, loss of democracy, loss of privacy, loss of fiscal responsibility, loss of America as we know it.

Kerry needs to realize he will never be nominated again as the Democratic presidential candidate; if he couldn’t win in 2004, he will never be able to win, so he can stop trying to figure out the most politically acceptable position to take on issues like this. Instead, he should show he is a worthwhile human being, speak the truth and protect the Constitution against criminal acts of subversion. It is up to him to make this story happen.

Will any other Democrats get behind Kennedy Jr’s article? Gore? B or H Clinton? Teddy Kennedy? The DNC? Or, will Feingold have to stand up by his lonesome once again to promote truth and justice?

Suppressing or ignoring this story, like I imagine the media and most Democrats will do, will ensure the same shenanigans continue to happen without challenge in the 2006 and future elections.
