It is stupid to assume that if people are criticizing Kerry, that it means they will vote for Bush.

Kerry needs to be criticized, and so do the Democrats for rolling over and playing dead. AGAIN. And nominating another center right candidate that has few policy differences with the current president.

In war time, that is a sure fire recipe for handing the race to the incumbent, because people don't like changing leadership during war time.

And BTW, what the hell happened to the Democrats against the Iraq war, hmmmm? They dried up, and blew silently away in the wind. No anti-war protesting now people--it might lose the election for the pro-war candidate Kerry.

As to the Woodward interview, it is all old stuff. There is no way that Bush could have planned the war, gotten everyone in place, stolen the money from Congress had he not gotten a good head start on it. Even the impeachable offense of him illegally redirecting the funds (the $700 million) for Afghanistan to his war build up won't make the mainstream media OR the Democratic party call for an investigation.

History will look back on this era as the era when the Democrats did absolutely nothing to stop the steamrolling Republican wave of fascism. So go ahead and vote for Kerry because you think it is the most politically expedient way to waste your vote.

I'm voting my conscience, thank you very much. That way, at least I know my vote won't be wasted like it would be if I vote for Kerry. The more I see of Kerry, the more I feel vindicated in my decision to vote for Nader.
