Reply #119: I am still outraged [View All]

[Carolina]

but sadly the outrage is currently taking a back seat to pragmatism and it sucks.

I was actually for a Kerry-Edwards ticket until October 2002. Then came IWR and their votes, Kerry's being more inexplicable than Edwards' since through his years in the Senate and his knowledge of the Bushes via BCCI and Iran-Contra investigations, he should have had better intelligence in every sense of the word. His was also inexplicable because of the very strong opposition of his MA constituents ... anyway. That doesn't exonerate Edwards, but Kerry's was worse to me.

After that, I went looking for another candidate, hence my avatar. Now, of course, Clark is history too and we're stuck seemingly with a compromised, uninspiring, finger-in-the-wind, career politician.

And yes, nu-duer, the whole thing sucks big time.
