THIS is leadership? For THIS he wants us to consider him in another run in 2008?
Sen. John Kerry, in some of his most pointed public comments yet about the presidential election, invoked Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on Monday as he criticized President Bush (news - web sites) and decried reports of voter disenfranchisement.
The Massachusetts Democrat, Bush's challenger in November, spoke at Boston's annual Martin Luther King Day Breakfast. He reiterated that he decided not to challenge the election results, but "thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote."
"Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, eleven hours to vote, while Republicans (went) through in 10 minutes — same voting machines, same process, our America," he said.
In his comments, Kerry also compared the democracy-building efforts in Iraq with voting in the U.S., saying that Americans had their names purged from voting lists and were kept from casting ballots.
"In a nation which is willing to spend several hundred million dollars in Iraq to bring them democracy, we cannot tolerate that too many people here in America were denied that democracy," Kerry said.
Oh, yeah, Kerry was so concerned about election fraud that he conceded before all the votes were even counted. He couldn't concede fast enough. Yup, that's leadership. Wait till the electoral vote is certified, THEN speak out on Martin Luther King's birthday for all the people in Ohio and elsewhere who were denied their right to vote, or have their votes counted properly.
Good Lord....I'm gonna go hit myself in the head with a claw hammer for a while now.
