I am one of the most anti-Kerry people on earth. I have served in the military for 17 years I find John Kerry's past and present performances deplorable. Never before had a seen a campaign run without one fiber of decency or honor. Calling the President of the United States a liar and presenting treasonous forged documents to the media made me wonder how a man with no moral clarity could even have a shot at the presidency?

So how can I say Senator Kerry earned my respect? For the first time in his life he did what was right for our country! On November 3rd he conceded to President Bush and he saved the country the stress and uncertainty of a drawn out legal process. In his eyes I saw sincerity and also a deep understanding of the situation. Senator Kerry will never be presidential, however, for one moment he displayed courage. For one moment I saw a soldier.

In Kerry's concession speech Kerry said:

I honestly do not think Kerry thought of this himself. I believe Kerry had someone in the Democratic party close by to tell him when to concede. The Dems nominated Kerry knowing full well that he would not be elected. The Dems do not want Hillary going up against an incumbent in 2008.

He conceded because the people had spoken in larger numbers than we have ever seen before and his managers told him to "get over it - we lost."

He wouldn't do ANYTHING for "the good of the country" if it weren't first and foremost "good for John Kerry."

His whole life has proven that.

The DNC is still trying to narrow the gap in Ohio - how's that for re-uniting the country?

He said right in his acceptance speech that he appreciated this band of brothers, who had told the truth back then and were still telling it today.

Oh, yah - real healing. That little stack of Kerry loyalists up against nearly 300 founders of the group.

Ted Hurley and his foaming-at-the-mouth "liar, liar, liar" mantra. The Kerry BoB who backed the UFC version of events until the Kerry Kampf put them behind a protective wall of handlers and told them not to speak to anyone, again.

Sorry, I cannot see anything generous or gracious or honorable in this man.

He's stuck in the 70's, still mouthing the same anti-military, anti-war, anti-American platitudes that created such collective angst in our culture.

He doesn't even realize that he is responsible for so much of that, much less that he has anything to apologize for, or that he hurt so many people.

I will never admire anything about him.

I am new to who he is, but knowing now... I will NEVER FORGET.

Kerry is not a man to speak the Truth, he is a man who will say what he believes the people want to hear. He had no choice but to Concede, there was no chance of a "Florida Recall" and the powers that be in the DNC knew this. If they had he would have been as vicious as he had been since his days in the VVAW.
Kerry is a "Chameleon", always willling to say anything to blend in.

Did the opposite. Kerry though a (Deleted By Admin) could have been a (Deleted By Admin) . I am happy and proud Bush won. I guess my point is...Kerry's one moment of honor was not his campaign, but instead, his concession.

I concede the point if instead of honor you say relative honor.

nope! so sorry GI you wrong! Kerry has NO HONOR, NO COURAGE, NO REDEEMING FEATURES WHATSOEVER...best to just let this topic die a quiet death....everyone's entitled to their opinion, and lord knows, I'll fiercely defend your right to express yours, but I will NEVER EVER agree with it, with respect to Kerry.

I started into this election an Independent voter, but after watching the Democratic party and the mainstream media lie, cheat and invent documents, call honest, heroic American veterans liars, spin the Iraq war as a "quagmire", and do everything under the sun in a smear campaign against President Bush, who I have always felt is a decent and honest man, I have to say that they will never get my vote for a presidential candidate again. Never. I see now why their party is in decline. Zell Miller is right on the mark in his comments, but it falls on deaf ears. Too bad.

There is only one reason and one reason only John Kerry conceded when he did:

1. He lost and the American people spoke loudly -

Even with the help of the MSM the American people are smarter than the average News "reporter" gives us credit. Luckily for us we were able to have honorable vets come forward and show us the real "John Kerry".

I will admit I was shocked when John Kerry conceded. I did not expect him to concede and I do not think the media did either. When he did not win the popular vote - he had no argument. The DNC could not accuse President Bush of "stealing" this election....the American people came out in bigger numbers than ever and voted for President Bush and against John Kerry.

The early release of the "exit polls" we have to wonder how these came about? Was this, yet another, attempt by the MSM to suppress the vote? In my opinion, YES. It was typical media fashion to swing this election for John Kerry and they were working with the Kerry campaign all along...with the CBS rathergate; to the ABC memo; and NBC rerunning Kerry's interview and deleting his remarks just go to show how hard the 3 networks were working to get Kerry elected.

We spoke as a nation on 11-2-04 - The America that I love and served is still here. She will stand proudly and we will stand by our President in the time of war. She may be a bit battered but she is still red and if you look to see how red she is it truly makes your heart swell. In light of the liberals of this world they are NOT the "average american". The average American still believes in the conservative issues.

May God Bless America!

Regarding John Kerry--I was shocked that such a man with his history of traitorous behavior would dare to try to be president of this country. It was beyond belief. That anyone would vote for this traitor is even more shocking. I lost a lot of confidence in my fellow man who voted for him. Surely no combat veteran could vote for this treacherous liar.
I feel the SwiftVets saved ths country from a catastrophe by advising people of the kind of person John Kerry is.
You have my undying gratitude for what you did in Vietnam and what you have done now. It required a lot of strength and dedication.
