Kerry is not going to be able to win, Syl.
He isn't going to be able to attack Bush on his service record, because of the instance of his throwing his medals on the ground. It'll be deemed too risky by his advisors. And Kerry's life spent as a man who made his way to this point by seducing and living off of very wealthy women, well you have to hand it to the guy, but in the end it isn't going to go over well, and he will just not get enough votes from the white male population. It will also cost him some votes with white women as they put it altogether in their minds.
Frankly, I think the liberals would have been better off with Dean. He seems like a decent man and they are nearly impossible to come by in politics, and he is not a parasite like Kerry(keep in mind I am an Irish Catholic and I absolutely will not vote for this guy).
I could go on for awhile, but everyone gets so heated up about politics no one listens anyway. What everyone fails to understand is none of these people are any good at all, that the founding Fathers new that would be the case, and created a system of checks and balances that is so brilliant as to have been created by God. It will mean nothing to folks here for me to add that I was a lobbyist for years, and have very likely spent more hours in rooms with legislatures than everyone here put together, if not everyone on ihub. I know who slept with who, who was getting blowjobs where and by who, who is gay but posing as straight, who has incredible conflicts of interest, and most importantly who is truly, truly evil
