94. Of course it's all about electability. Short term gains can cause long
term losses. I am sorry, I can't get behind the ABB movement. This party and this country are way past the point where that is a viable strategy. Who do you kerry people think you're fooling? The man is a spineless panderer of the highest degree; are you really prepared to say you are proud of his decision to send america to war based on nothing but lies and fear-mongering? I ask you, is there any sin egregious enough that you would not vote for a democrat over bush? There is absolutely no act more contemptible for a national leader to commit than to send a country into war for personal or political reasons. To have this man as the symbolic head of the democratic party would do yet more lasting damage to the party, and to America. Short term gain is not the only thing that matters. If that were true then bush's tax cuts were actually a good idea. With kerry as president we can expect to see more bush-like governing; meanwhile, the democratic party will continue to stagnate and face the same lesser of two evils choices year after year.
