Nothing But Politics

In the 2 full Kerry speeches I've listened to, I didn't hear someone willing to rush to war, as was done in Iraq.

If we had not already attacked your point would have some meaning. We are already IN Iraq. Bush did that. Kerry does not have to do that. He just has to convince people that we need to escalate the war to "win" the war and that ultimately it is not his fault it is bushes.


I did hear someone willing to go to war as a last resort.

We are already in a war. Easy for him to sound that way when the choice was made by someone else.

but I didn't hear Kerry as someone who was willing to create an illusion that would get people to support attacking a country.

We already attacked a country. We are already in a war. Kerry does not need to create the illusion we need to attack. He needs to create a different set of illusions to keep the war machine happy. Still sounds like vote and pray to me BWDIK.

I guess the biggest difference between me and most other people on these issues is that somehow most other people see the two party's as adversary's. I see a symphony.
