This does not change the fact that Kerry is a weenie, who would say and do anything for political power. He has no convictions what so ever.
Bush has done some things I disagree with, some were stupid, but the man is a LEADER. He beleives in something and does not waiver.
I want a real leader in charge of my country - not someone who is wishy washy, changes their mind, has no convictions. These people cannot make the tough decisions. Look at Clinton.
Kerry's record in the Senate is more important to how he will govern. His voting record is more liberal then Ted Kennedy.

I'm going to resist (albeit reluctantly) the temptation to suggest that the level of your political sophistication is best exemplified with the word "weenie", which most Junior High students would think immature.
If John Kerry had turned his considerable talents to business instead of politics, and made himself a couple billion dollars, you'd admire him. As a matter of fact, if John Kerry had lived his life EXACTLY the same way but he was spitting out conservative rhetoric, you'd admire him.
John Kerry holds political positions different from yours. Not content to merely disagree on the issues, you have to find fault with the character of your opponent. That appeals to two types of people - the dumb (which I know you are not), and the lazy.
The simple fact of the matter is, Mikey, you yourself have offered up this (the Swift Boat Republicans) as "proof" that Kerry is unfit at least twice. I suspect that you will bring up anything that you believe discredits Kerry, in almost the exact same way that Meni used to find items to prove that Haliburton conspired to take Stern off the air.
The whole "leadership" thing is such a crock of shit as to be laughable.
George Armstrong Custer was a real leader ... and look what it got him and his men.
