WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites), who had hoped to be taking the oath of office, on Thursday stressed the importance of cooperation in a democracy but also emphasized sticking to beliefs.
"Democracy means working together for the good of our country; it also means keeping faith with your ideals, never retreating from core convictions even as you work to find common ground," Kerry said in a statement released Thursday morning. "We have strong differences and we argue and fight with all our hearts and energy, and our system endures because we Americans expect nothing less."
Yeah! Go get 'em.
