John Kerry has once again shifted the blame for his loss in the 2004 Presidential election, this time moving away from his previous faults on Osama bin Laden, racism, jealousy, poor people and conspiracy. No, this time it was the government's fault for funding his campaign.What?
"I think the biggest mistake was probably not going outside the federal financing so we could have controlled our own message."
"We had a 13-week general election, they had an eight-week general election. We had the same pot of money. We had to harbor our resources in a different way and we didn't have the same freedom."
Ah yes, except that taking the federal money does not stop a candidate from using their own money they had raised during the campaign, as it didn't do to Kerry. That means that once again this is another excuse on which to blame a campaign with no message and no direction which should have easily creamed a sitting President who couldn't tie his own shoes.
Way to take the blame Kerry. Go ahead and run in 2008. We doubt you'd even vote for yourself.
