Here is one reason:
(Yes I know it's hard to read)

if kerry wins the election the end of the world also known as the revolation (can't spell) will come sooner all cuz of the gays it's all there fault. if they weren't so proud of being gay then the end of the world will come later but they r n kerry supports them so it's his fault 2. man the end of the world is comming soon

which is a good thing cuz us christans will have a better after life but then it's way scary cuz it's the end of the world and watching the people we cared about dying and watching the world b distroyed .......way scary man

anywayz just thought u should no

so i hope u voted 4 BUSH ! ! ! !

Go BUSH Go BUSH Go BUSH ! ! BUSH IS MY HOMEBOY

kerry is a good american. everybody knows that. and if he would have been himself, he would have been a lot stronger. they had him wearing that working mans jacket. kerry does not work. they had him in a camo outfit with the wrong gun hunting geese. he does not hunt. they had him smiling and giving the high five all day long. kerry is a serious faced man and he does not like to show his emotions. that made him
look so phony which he is not. they did the same thing with gore in 2000.
when will the democrats kick the libs out of their party and get down to serious business about
winning elections? and they also need to eject the airheads from hollywood.

I say it was Liberalism, but that wasn't a choice so I picked the next best thing: "Siding with the Michael Moore/Jimmy Carter/Dean crowd".

The exit polls would suggest morality (ie, gay marriage) was the deciding issue. In every other issue except two, Kerry beat Bush by a large amount. But the morality crowd voted 80% Bush and made up 22% of the voters. No question, THAT was the problem.

Can you be more specific? Because the people that cared most about Iraq, Education, Health Care and the Economy voted mostly for Kerry. What part of his ideology do you mean?

I tell you what. You show me something solid that backs this up, that is not anecdotal, and I will entertain your desire for specificity.

How about CNN stats? scroll down about 2/3 of the way to where it says "Most Important Issue".

Kerry killed himself.

He tried to be a better George Bush than The Bushmaster himself.

Heh heh. Exit polls are anecdotal. 11-2 proved that.

Agreed. He played the armchair quarterback role for too long.

He just seemed to go from one place to the next telling people what they wanted to hear.

To quote Gerorge Bush Sr, I cant find a link where I read this but when asked about Mr. Kerry he said.
If you hit a pothole while driving to see him and said something to him about that pothole he would tell you he had a plan for those potholes.

All of the above.

To attempt to narrow the factor down to one is too simplistic.

Sure Rove & the GOP machine played him, but Shrum allowed the entire campaign to be played.

Shrum needs to retire from campaigns & lobby or something.

The reason why I didn't like Kerry is because he didn't give me a single reason TO vote for him. His economic policies were just BS (most economists agreed that the economy would do the same no matter who is elected). His policies in Iraq were nothing special. He basically brought nothing to the table to make me say, "Hey! That guy could really do some good!". I think that is what killed him.

I think people not actually voting must have killed Kerry. I think if voting could be done from home on the internet while still wearing only your underwear, Kerry would be the new prez.
