Following is the actual concession speech of
Independent Adam Felber who ran for President and
obviously lost last week. This is straight forward,
honest and I think better than anything else I've read
this last week accurately reflects what happened last
November 2.

I'm sending this to Bush supporters as well as Kerry
supporters in the hope that the Bush supporters will
read this, take it to heart and hear what Mr. Felber
is saying. Don't dismiss this as a joke or not
representative of the actual majority in this country
-- election returns or not. Without us there is no
U.S.A. Call it sour grapes I don't care. Without the
blue states -- which overwhelming voted against Bush
-- you ain't got ****. Quite honestly the Bush
Presidency has isolated and alienated far more people
than any administration in history...

Including me.

CONCESSION SPEECH --Adam Felber


[Former candidate Felber, flanked by his family and
supporters, steps up to the podium in the bright
autumn sunlight. Cheers and applause are heard.]
My fellow Americans, the people of this nation
have spoken, and spoken with a clear voice. So I am here to
offer my concession. [Boos, groans, rending of garments]

I concede that I overestimated the intelligence of
the American people. Though the people disagree with
the President on almost every issue, you saw fit to
vote for him. I never saw that coming. That's really
special. And I mean "special" in the sense that we
use it to describe those kids who ride the short school
bus and find ways to injure themselves while eating
pudding with rubber spoons. That kind of special.

I concede that I misjudged the power of hate. That's
pretty powerful stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me
take a moment to congratulate the President's strategists:
Putting the gay marriage amendments on the ballot in various
swing states like Ohio... well, that was just
genius. Genius. It got people, a certain kind of people, to the
polls. The unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited
"moral values" as their biggest issue, those people changed history.
The folks who consider same sex marriage a more important
issue than war, or terrorism, or the economy...
Who'd have thought the election would belong to them? Well,
Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that.

[Boos.] Now, now. Credit where it's due. I concede
that I put too much faith in America's youth. With 8 out of 10 of
you opposing the President, with your friends and classmates dying
daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to
pay for rich old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on
your asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic
hillbillies carried the day. You voted with the exact same anemic
percentage that you did in 2000. You suck. Seriously, y'do.

[Cheers, applause] Thank you. Thank you very much.

There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that
now is the time for healing, to bring the nation together. Let me
tell you a little story. Last night, I watched the returns come in
with some friends here in Los Angeles. As the night progressed,
people began to talk half-seriously about secession, a red state /
blue state split. The reasoning was this: We in blue states produce
the vast majority of the wealth in this country and pay the most
taxes, and you in the red states receive the majority of the money
from those taxes while complaining about 'em. We in the blue
states are the only ones who've been attacked by
foreign terrorists, yet you in the red states are gung
ho to fight a war in our name. We in the blue states
produce the entertainment that you consume so greedily
each day, while you in the red states show open
disdain for us and our values. Blue state civilians
are the actual victims and targets of the war on
terror, while red state civilians are the ones
standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah!? Bring it on!"

More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that
Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. I'm
impressed by that, truly I am. Your sons and daughters
who might die in this war know it's not true, the
people in the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to
attack know it's not true, but those of you who are at
practically no risk believe this easy lie because you
can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that
I really envy that luxury. I concede that.

Healing? We, the people at risk from terrorists, the
people who subsidize you, the people who speak in
glowing and respectful ter! ms about the heartland of
America while that heartland insults and excoriates
us... we wanted some healing. We spoke loud and clear.
And you refused to give it to us, largely because of
your high moral values. You knew better: America
doesn't need its allies, doesn't need to share the
burden, doesn't need to unite the world, doesn't need
to provide for its future.

Hell no. Not when it's got a human shield of pointy-headed,
atheistic, unconfrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay the
bills and play nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can
never have. Because we're "morally inferior," I suppose, we are
supposed to respect your values while
you insult ours. And the big joke here is that for 20
years, we've done just that.
It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke, I realize, but it's a
joke all the same.

Being an independent candidate gives me one luxury - as well as
conceding the election today, I am also
announcing my candidacy for President in 2008.

[Wild applause, screams, chants of "Fel-ber!
Fel-ber!]
Thank you.

And I make this pledge to you today: THIS time, next
time, there will be no pandering. This time I will run
with all the open and joking contempt for my opponents
that our President demonstrated towards the cradle of
liberty, the Ivy League intellectuals, the "media
elite," and the
"white-wine sippers." This time I will not pretend
that the simple folk of America know just as much as
the people who devote their lives to serving and
studying the nation and the world. They don't.

So that's why I'm asking for your vote in 2008,
America. I'm talking to you, you ignorant, slack-jawed
yokels, you bible-thumping, inbred drones, you
redneck, racist, chest-thumping, perennially duped
grade-school grads. Vote for me, because I know
better, and I truly believe that I can help your smug,
sorry asses. Vote Felber in '08!

Thank you, and may God, if he does in fact exist,
bless each and every
one of you.

What a great guy! He starts his speech by taking a swipe at the mentally
handicapped kids "who ride the short school bus". Boy, he must be your
hero.

I concede that I misjudged the power of hate.

You mean like hating the mentally handicapped?

That's
pretty powerful stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me
take a moment to congratulate the President's strategists:
Putting the gay marriage amendments on the ballot in various
swing states like Ohio... well, that was just
genius. Genius. It got people, a certain kind of people, to the
polls.

Yup. Normal, moral, decent people.

The unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited
"moral values" as their biggest issue, those people changed history.

Yup again. We helped slow the downward spiral of our country into the abyss
of immorality.


The folks who consider same sex marriage a more important
issue than war, or terrorism, or the economy...
Who'd have thought the election would belong to them?

Well,
Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that.

[Boos.] Now, now. Credit where it's due. I concede

daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to
pay for rich old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on
your asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic
hillbillies carried the day.

Here Felber ensures that when they finally *do* get off their collective
asses, they'll probably vote Republican just out of spite.


You voted with the exact same anemic
percentage that you did in 2000. You suck. Seriously, y'do.

Waaaaaaaa.




[Cheers, applause] Thank you. Thank you very much.

There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that
now is the time for healing, to bring the nation together. Let me
tell you a little story. Last night, I watched the returns come in
with some friends here in Los Angeles. As the night progressed,
people began to talk half-seriously about secession, a red state /
blue state split. The reasoning was this: We in blue states produce the
vast majority of the wealth in this country

Ahem...bull****.

and pay the most
taxes,

Only those folks living in the suburbs of the blue states...and the suburbs
voted for Bush.

and you in the red states receive the majority of the money
from those taxes while complaining about 'em.

Bull****.

We in the blue
states are the only ones who've been attacked by
foreign terrorists,

Gee, and I thought the Pentagon was owned by *all* Americans.


yet you in the red states are gung
ho to fight a war in our name. We in the blue states
produce the entertainment that you consume so greedily
each day,

True. It *is* very entertaining when I read how many liberals have had to
go to counseling to deal with kerry's loss.


while you in the red states show open
disdain for us and our values.

Most of you don't *have* values...so how could we "show disdain" for
something you don't have?


Blue state civilians
are the actual victims and targets of the war on
terror, while red state civilians are the ones
standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah!? Bring it on!"

Actually, the red states stood side by side with the blue states when the
blue states were attacked. I doubt you guys would do the same if the
circumstances were flipped.


More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that
Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11.

We're working on increasing that number by spreading the truth. Once we
purge the CIA of all of the obstructionist Democratic liberals that are
concealing the evidence, then the truth will come out (assuming Sandy Berger
hasn't already stolen those documents from the archives). Ask former CIA
Director James Woolsey or former Clinton advisor Laurie Mylroie about
*their* take on the Saddam/terrorist connection.



I'm
impressed by that, truly I am.

A mechanical pencil would impress your simple mind.


Your sons and daughters
who might die in this war know it's not true, the
people in the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to
attack know it's not true, but those of you who are at
practically no risk believe this easy lie because you
can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that

And you refused to give it to us, largely because of
your high moral values. You knew better: America
doesn't need its allies,

Like France? Puh-leaze. We ought to give the Palestinians that state that
they so desire...and pluck it right down where France *used to be*.


doesn't need to share the
burden, doesn't need to unite the world, doesn't need
to provide for its future.

Hell no. Not when it's got a human shield of pointy-headed,
atheistic, unconfrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay the
bills and play nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can
never have. Because we're "morally inferior," I suppose, we are
supposed to respect your values while
you insult ours.

I told you already. You don't have any values.


And the big joke here is that for 20
years, we've done just that.
It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke, I realize, but it's a
joke all the same.

Being an independent candidate gives me one luxury

What's that? The ability to say *anything* because nobody pays attention
anyhow?


- as well as
conceding the election today, I am also
announcing my candidacy for President in 2008.

Bwahahahahaha. Maybe you'lll double your vote. But I bet that neither of
the two people who vote for you will be considered "today's youth".



[Wild applause, screams, chants of "Fel-ber!
Fel-ber!]
Thank you.

And I make this pledge to you today: THIS time, next
time, there will be no pandering. This time I will run
with all the open and joking contempt for my opponents

liberty, the Ivy League intellectuals, the "media

"white-wine sippers." This time I will not pretend

America. I'm talking to you, you ignorant, slack-jawed

redneck, racist, chest-thumping, perennially duped
grade-school grads. Vote for me, because I know
better, and I truly believe that I can help your smug,
sorry asses. Vote Felber in '08!

Well, since you asked so nicely...ah, never mind.



Thank you, and may God, if he does in fact exist,
bless each and every
one of you.

He exists alright. And I'd be careful about going out in a a lightning
storm if I were you.

This is about as idiotic a statement as you have ever made, and if you
truly believe that, then there is no doubt you are scum and beyond
redemption.

OK...you're right...you have "values". You just happen to value the
sanctity of two guys sucking each other off, value the right of a woman to
kill her baby, and value the right to sue in court so that you can get God
removed from the lives of all Americans.

Unfortunately, those aren't values.

Sock puppet.
