75. When Kerry voted for IWR
I knew what kind of person he was; someone who wasn't willing to stand up for what is right. He was more concerned about his political career and being "electable" than such "trivial things" as the lives of our soldiers, the lives of Iraqis, our budget, our credibility in the world. Instead of fulfilling his responsiblity to be a CHECK and BALANCE on the president, he deferred to him, and that got us into this mess...

in light of that knowledge, Kerry's actions do not surprise me.

Truthfully, it is not likely that kerry actually won, but what happened in Ohio and everywhere needs to be discussed and dealt with. This challenge is a great way to do that, even if the likely outcome is that Bush won Ohio. It's also a great way to atone in a small way for not challenging the vote in 2000.
