58. ...can't support the guy
I hope it isn't the Party's nominee, because I (and so many other people) cannot vote for that kind of nominee.

I don't think it's untoward to question who is behind a presidential candidate, or to question their loyalities. Is it not okay to question whether Kerry has loyalties to the bushes and cheneys and military industrial complexes, and coporate interests?

It's not going to help to turn a blind eye, to ignore important questions, to try to sweep things under the rug -- to ignore voting records, to forgive IWR or Patriot Act votes, to say...
I'm not going to dig to deep because, you know...Anyone but bush.
It's just not okay.

Right now, Kerry has not yet won. He can be made to answer questions, state positions, reveal information...or another candidate can win. But brushing things aside is just denial, and what's worse, this sort of ignorance just hides weaknesses that inevitably Karl Rove will use against Kerry ANYWAYS.

Suddenly, magically...no one seems to care about the war or patriot act. I used to come and look at this board back when everyone was all against the war, where people REFUSED to vote for anyone who gave bush war powers...and I see what has happened and it really is startling and sad.

there is so much compromise, so little serious questioning, such low hopes...when will it end?
