19. I'm not going to get into semantics about this.
I'm just going to proudly go into a voting booth, and vote for Kerry and Edwards.

I'm going to watch them lose my state, and win the Nation.

(Indiana)

I am thrilled to pull the lever for Kerry/Edwards, and I've been a lefty/liberal my entire life.

I met Hubert H. Humphrey at the Minnesota State Fair at five, and told my parents he was a good man.

I cried for weeks when they voted for Nixon.

They never voted Republican again.

Kerry is a decent man, and will do a good job for us.

He can't win, can he? The Right paints him as the ultimate liberal.

The people who use a term like "Kerrybots" paint him as a Right Wing loony.

Well, they're both wrong. Kerry is a left leaning centrist. He's left where it counts, and he's enough of a realist to govern effectively.

That's the part the Kerry bashers don't get:

Some radical leftist is going to have a "lame duck" presidency, and accomplish NOTHING except set us further back.

I wish some of you better writers and speakers would stop being insulting, and simply explain that.
