Reply #59: When?

That's not what I get from quotes like this from the above article:

"We share the same goal of total victory," Kerry declared, addressing
an annual convention of the Newspaper Association of America. "And you
can count on this: No matter who wins the presidential election, the
terrorists will lose."

Where does he distinguish between his plans and Bush's plans on this? He's not done a good job distinguishing the hair's breadth of difference between his policies on Iraq and Bush's as it is.

Statements like the above further cloud any difference on foreign policy, other than sort of a vague 'we'll work more with other countries' tone. How? Bush can claim that he has a little 'coalition' (or rather, he used to be able to claim that), and has worked internationally -- Kerry has NOT distinguished between what he would do differently. Does it merely come down to assigning the contracts more equitably? Is that his whole plan? So far to me, that's all I can see.

It's not ME who's calling Kerry 'bushlite' -- it seems to be candidate Kerry who's doing that himself.

Sure, I'm still ABB. I'll still be voting 'D' this November for president, whoever it is. However, I can't say I'm thrilled about it -- it's more a matter of a lack of workable alternatives at this point.
