post or you would know that Senator Kerry has a very clearly defined position on Iraq (and always has). Yes, reading is tiresome, but you learn a lot. (Sorry for the sarcasm, but I hear this all the time and it just isn't true!)

You have a right to support whoever you want to in a primary or a Presidential election, but it is not true that Bush was an unloved incumbent. He had a lot of popular support and his base was loyal. Loyalty makes a huge difference. I can tick off names of Democrats who trashed Kerry during the campaign because they were already preparing to run for President in 2008. Bush was a pretty popular President as tough as that is to swallow. People wanted to have that proverbial beer with him, remember?

The very idea of Bush being popular makes us cringe, but we are not exactly mainstream America here. We are liberals. And we have been as much maligned as a group as John Kerry was as a candidate. Remember when liberal was something good? See...they did to all of us what they did to Senator Kerry. We are all John Kerry in that respect. And personally, I don't feel one bit FAILED. I'm liberal and proud!
