Reply #119: okay, I give up. Vote for Bush.

What are you really trying to accomplish with this thread? Please tell me, I really want to know.

Can you be pragmatic and say to yourself that Kerry was duped but better Kerry than Bush, who did the duping? Why is it so hard to believe that Kerry can reverse his position? Have you ever reversed a position, or do you always stubbornly hold onto your original positions, even when they turn out to be wrong?

If you were Kerry, and had voted for something that you realized in retrospect was stupid, would you then just retire from politics and bury your head in the sand, or would you try to right the wrong?

Whether we like it or not, whether Kerry is our first choice or not, he is the presumptive nominee and our other choice is Bush.

Why don't you write Kerry a letter and tell him he needs to apologize for being a dupe? Tell him that he needs to turn back the clock and vote NO. He'll hop right in his time machine and do that for you, I'm sure.

If you can't come up with a better solution than to get Bush out of office by voting for Kerry, why bother with DU? Run for office yourself. See if you can get elected president.
