John Kerry was the best candidate we could put forward.

I truly believe that. He was chosen thru a hard-fought primary campaign and the people chose him. He was not defeated by George W Bush. He was defeated by a corporate media and a well-thought out propaganda campaign against him. In hindsight, we can say he should have done this or he should have done that. However, the cards were stacked against him.

Even though George Bush was a disaster as a president, with his historic deficits and the worst job creation since Herbert Hoover and with his incompetence being a big part of the attack of 9/11, he still "won" the race. There is no "logical" explanation. He did not deserve to win. He cheated fair and square and he had a lot of assistance.
