Why I cannot Support Kerry
Advertisements [?]
I cannot support Kerry for four major reasons:
  1. He is a member of Skull and Bones Society. In this, he may
    be too-closely aligned with the interests of the Bush family
    and other members of the Republican elite.

  2. He voted for Iraq War II. He did this after telling at least some
    of his supporters that he would oppose the war.

  3. It appears as if he would support the Defense of Marriage Amendent
    to the Consitutition (both US and Massachusetts constitutions).

  4. Supporting Kerry now would reward the Democratic Party for the
    shabby treatment they gave several of the "insurgent" candidates this
    year, and would not help to bring about the sort of fundamental reforms
    that the Democratic Party needs to undertake if it is to start winning
    any elections *OTHER THAN* the 2004 Presidential Election.

For these reasons and more, I will not be supporting John Kerry
in the General Election.
