Why are people so down on Kerry?

[sidwill]

Hey come on guys my candidate didn't make it but I'm behind Kerry 100%! I would also with Edwards or even DK is they were the frontrunners as well.

We have a GOLDEN opportunity, an opportunity to dislodge the WORST president in the History of this great country and replace him with "gasp" A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT.

Yes Kerry IS a liberal Democrat, he is NOT "bushlite" he is NOT "the same as Bush" he is NOT "a republican stalking horse".

Get your collective heads right on this one, crying about how HD or DK are getting screwed by the media isn't going to help us now, getting behind the eventual nominee with your time, MONEY, and vote will.

If Bush gets reelected you may NEVER have another chance to correct our course.

1. I just posted on another thread abou this.....

This is the internet. It leads people to be under the false assumption that people care about their opinions more than they actually do. This false sense of how large the audience actually is for their opinions leads them to be more showy and verbose about it.

We've all been guilty of it, but now with the Nader issue and the threats of third party voting and the subsequent attempts by everyone on here to convince people otherwise, this bloated sense of ego has reached epic proportions on both sides.

When you sit back and remove it from it's context, it's actually quite laughable.

2. He's a bummer.

No charisma. Doesn't feel electable to me. Hearing him speak in 71 is like listening to somebody else altogether. What happened? Too much Washington I guess. I'm not too enthused about him being a Skull and Boner either.
