Subject: RE: BS: Open Letter to Kerry Supporters...
LarryK.   The Hannity thing is very funny.   Steve Allen used to do a similar thing on the old Tonight show. There is a condition that many people enter when a camera is turned on them. I wonder what would happen if Hannity asked them to name the current Vice President.

Just a serious question - do you folks on the right ever check out any other commentary besides Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and conservative websites? I admit that I listen to Al Franken, Randi Rhodes and even WBAI on occaision, but I also tune in to hear what people like Limbaugh & the others are saying. I then do a little research to try to sort it out for myself.   

I guess I started the second paragraph asking a question to the right, but the reverse also applies to the left.   We tend to listen to what we want to believe and follow it blindly.   This leads to some of the erroneous comments that have been made about Kerry AND Bush in this and other threads.

Personally, I feel that Kerry has a better plan and I would feel more comfortable if he was sitting in the Oval Office. Bush has made many errors, the Republicans and their mouthpieces have been caught in way too many lies, and another 4 years could be brutal.   I worry about the makeup of the Supreme Court if Bush has his way. At the very least, I hope for balance.   John Kerry may not be the perfect candidate or even best human being, but he is the right person for the job in my opinion.

I remember something an HR Director told me when I was interviewing people to fill a job in a company I used to work for.   Each of the candidates I reviewed had one or more items that I did not care for. I kept asking her to find more candidates.   She told me that we can spend forever trying to find the right candidate.   There is someone out there that is better qualified for my job, and there is someone out there that is better qualified for hers. We can each be replaced. The decision needs to be made to place the person that can handle the job you want them to do, and someone you can work with to make the changes you want.    John Kerry fits that critera better than George W.
