The AP headlines read, "Kerry Joins Ohio Recount Effort" - finally the democratic faithful had something to cheer about. Kerry had joined the recount effort, even though he didn’t appear in public to make a statement on it, to get some media coverage.
As it turns out, the judge ruled that since Cobb and Badnarik won’t be hurt by a late start, he will allow the recount to continue but the results won’t be known until after the electors meet Dec 13th. Because Cobb and Badnarik are the plaintiffs, and they couldn’t prove irreparable harm. If Kerry had asked for a recount himself, the recount would start sooner. Gee, thank you Senator Kerry.
But aren’t we supposed to be fighting for this guy, trying to get him in the whitehouse? Think for yourself, break from the made for tv programming. Kerry said every vote would count- then in the face of massive fraud and vote suppression, he gave up "because he didn’t want to look bad, so he can still make a run for 2008." This is logic according to the mainstream media.
Did kerry take a dive? His campaign signs read "Fighting For Us" and this is the best he’s got? The democrats could’ve done better, gee, maybe they fixed the primaries too.
The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, because the vast masses of a nation are, in the depths of their hearts, more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad.
The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easy victims of a big lie than a small one, because they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones. Such a form of lying would never enter their heads. They would never credit others with the possibility of such great impudence as the complete reversal of facts.

Yes you should be fighting mad that bush stole the election, and even madder that kerry is helping him get away with it! And the mainstream media will just dismiss this as ’conspiracy theory’. Listen up professional ’jounalists’, bush lied before the war and you helped him sell it. There are people dying right now, if we don’t turn it around there will be a draft. Bush is not a ’noble leader’ - he’s a friggin moron and we allknow it. Our democracy is slipping through our fingers and every single mainstream media journalist is a selfish whore? Please say it ain’t so. As in the Ukraine, we just need one person to risk their career and speak out before the cameras.

attached audio clip re: kerry’s late entry into the recount tussle is the cause for the delayed start- i heard this on the radio, but googling i could not find a reference to this particular of the story. The AP story of the day just mentioned the recount will start late, but they conveniently failed to mention why.
