Reply #14: 1. Thank you for realizing I didn't mention Dean.

Coulda gotten messy! :)

2. To suggest that Kerry could not have known b*sh would abuse his authority (not that you said this, mind you, this is a general statement), when even I knew he would, is to ask me to believe John Kerry is an idiot. He may be many things, but an idiot surely is not one of them.

I'm sorry, but I will never be able to accept that Kerry didn't know better, because I knew better. I believe it was a politically expedient vote, and I wish he'd never cast his vote that way.

That said, the time to hammer him is once he's in office - and if he governs from the center-right the way he talks from the center-right, believe me, I and millions of others will most assuredly hammer him.
