27. i was a girl scout - but don't judge me
by the affiliations i had in my ...(oh my, henry hyde) "youth"-

Judge a man (or woman) by their actions- not associations?

Kerry DID vote to allow the pres. to go to war- i'm not convinced that were HE in that position at the time, that HE would have seen war as positive, or necessiary- But he chose to support the administrations request-
i wish he hadn't- but i understand his prediciment. Gov. Dean, wasn't in the same position that senators and congressmen were, and was more able to simply state his personal belief- had he been in Kerry's shoes, i'm not so sure he wouldn't have had a slightly different perspective.

What i DON'T like about Howard Dean, is that he seems to want to appear as the Democratic version of G.W.Bush- a bit cocky and arrogant (and even sharing most of his views) i find his attitude...as offensive as Bush's at times- Sad that good people emulate some of the worst traits of the opposition, thinking it will win 'points'=

(i'll likely vote for who ever ends up being our candidate though)
