First, as to Bill Maher, I don't respect him as either an entertainer or as a political commentator. In fact, I just recently read an interview with him in which he said he couldn't handle reading the Wall Street Journal because it was too wordy, and that USA Today was his main source of news. I think he is a reactionary, ill informed prat.

Second, I don't care how anybody spins it, John Kerry supports the war on Iraq, and has said he will keep the troops there.   I opposed the war, and favor bringing the troops home. In other words, I back the Kucinich position on the war on Iraq.

Now, I do understand how the Anybody But Bush camp that is opposed to the war, would like to have Kerry's voting record go away, but it won't. All politicians are judged on their record. Kerry's record AND his policy positions on his website, show that he supports the war on Iraq, and that he supports the Patriot Act "with revisions" which he doesn't spell out.


And as to that "Dark Side" of Nader website, what a joke. I'm supposed to not vote for Nader because he has a couple of million dollars stashed in the stock market and a nice house?
