Kerry has yet to officially announce whether he's in the running for the 2008 nomination, and he didn't take questions from the media Friday.

Oh, please.  Please  run again, John-Boy.  Please win the nomination, even.

It'd do our hearts good to see your qetchup-ass handed to you once again. (snicker)

But while speaking to the educators and child advocates gathered in a hotel ballroom, it wasn't difficult to imagine his rhetoric, unchanged, being said at a campaign rally.

"We need to enlist and join together in a great cause across the country that puts a simple choice before our fellow Americans. It's a choice that, I think, is based on values," Kerry said.

Yes, please.  Let's  talk "values".  Let's talk about how we value innocent human life, for example.  Like Terri Schiavo, for instance.  Like those 4,000+ babies that are killed every day prior to being born.

Let's talk about the value of marriage being correctly defined as the union of one man and one woman.  Let's talk about how it's wrong for the judiciary to be forcing any other definition on the American people, why don't we?

Let's talk about how it's wrong for you turds up in DC to take our hard-earned money and give it to lazy shits who won't get up off their fat asses and get jobs.

Let's talk about how it's a slap in the face of legal immigrants to have a bunch of bastards from south of here come across our border, take our jobs, take that money out of our economy and send it back across that border, where it's not doing us any good, and then you  want to give these people amnesty?!?!?!  

Yeah, Billy-Bob Botox - let's talk about those "values"...

Following Florida's 2000 election debacle, in which Bush emerged the barest of winners over Al Gore after five weeks of partisan fighting, the Democratic Party made capturing the state one of its highest priorities.

But Kerry couldn't pull the state into his column, despite the millions spent on advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts. Bush prevailed by almost 381,000 ballots, for a margin of five percentage points.

"The fact is, 10 million more Americans voted for our idea of what we wanted to do than voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 when he was the sitting president of the United States," Kerry said.

The fact is, 5 million more people than that  voted for your opponent, moron.  Can we say that W would've kicked Clinton's ass, too? (snicker)

"The fact is, a million people volunteered. The fact is, across America we created an energy."

Oh, so that's  why all those people were yawning during your speeches. (chuckle)

"And that energy is going to keep on going and keep on fighting until we achieve what we want to."

Only if what you want is complete annihilation of the Demoscummic Party. (guffaw)
