Yo, Teribus,

Have you thought of getting a job as a TV journalist? You would probably fail, because the questions you asked were pertinent, hard hitting, appropriate, and spot-on.

The frustrating thing is that no one will ever ask Kerry those questions, because Kerry is the darling of the left-wing media. You and the anonymous (if there is just one) guest have hit the nail on the head repeatedly. All we know about Kerry is that he disagrees vehemently (well, sort of) with Bush and will completely change everything (well, kind of) that Bush has done, except, well, the troops stay in Iraq, the Patriot act just gets some window dressing, we are not going to drill in ANWR, except, of course, if we need oil and the unions need a few thousand jobs. The hypocrisy of labeling Bush as being vacuous while defending Kerry's multi-personality voting record is appalling. Of course, now that they have eliminated the quality candidates from contention the Democrats have to circle their wagons somehow.

What does Kerry stand for? What are his core convictions? Why does he have a voting record that shows "for" and "against" votes on just about every major issue in this election?

If the nation's lightbulb burns out, I do not want someone as president who can give me a detailed explanation of how the lightbulb was invented, all of the various varieties of possible replacements, all of the socio-economic, moral-ethical and technological ramifications of changing the lightbulb. I do not want him to be able to build an international coalition to support and possibly even help defray the cost of replacing the lightbulb. I just want him to be able to unscrew one lightbulb and screw another one in.

If Kerry can do that, just tell me. That's how Reagan got elected, and its how Clinton got elected. Seemed to work pretty good for those fellows.
