He spent 19 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee... he has much more experience in foreign relations than Bush even has now after four years in the White House. I've listened to Kerry and studied his plans for America. Of course, as with any politician, these are promises for the future. But I like his plan, I like his agenda, I like that he is a thinking man and will pull good minds together to make decisions based on the facts. I believe Kerry has integrity.
I know that Bush didn't live up to his campaign promises. I know that that Bush doesn't even read memos sent to him. That his cabinet meetings are scripted and open discusssion not encouraged. I know exactly what we've gotten with Bush, a total disaster. Kerry's not perfect, but he's a giant improvement. Why would I vote for a known failure?
