I think Kerry has a very idealistic streak and I like that. I'm loyal to DK for the reasons you mentioned and very attracted to Kerry for the things he did in the past. My problem with him is what he let Bush get away with.

You and I already had a talk about how men of power are, the things they do and why they sometimes do things that repulse us so we're on the same wave length here.

How did you manage to accept his endorsement of the Patriot Act? And handing the Congressinal War Powers over to Bush?

I can't understand that intelligent politicians did this and that now we have no record of a Congressional debate and no recorded vote on who wanted war with Iraq and who did not.

Stuart Taylor pointed out that Many members prefer to take a stand only after seeing how a war turns out, and how the public feels about it.

That thought really bothers me.

But aside from all of that, as Janet Jackson says "What has he done for you lately"? This isn't a rhetorical flame question. I really want to know because I hadn't been following these guys closely enough.

Peace and thanks!
