Kerry as the race's conservative because Bush is in fantasy land.

"CONSERVATIVE KERRY: David Brooks, as usual, has a fair column today. If you read between the lines, you'll discover what is, in fact, the private consensus of many conservatives who are publicly supporting Bush: that the president's heart is in the right place but he has a tenuous grasp of the instruments of government and how to wield them. But what strikes me in Brooks' defense of Bush is how it's traditionally a liberal defense of a liberal president. It's liberalism that has historically enunciated grand, abstract themes and conservatism that has always emphasized the difficulty of translating abstraction into reality, of finding the proper means to achieve certain ends, of the limits of our intellect when faced with the world of practical life. In that philosophical sense, it is Kerry who is the practical conservative in this race; and Bush who is the airy-fairy idealist. If Bush didn't have the abstract theological support of evangelical Christians, he wouldn't have a, well, prayer."

How can people who realize Bush "has a tenuous grasp of the instruments of government and how to wield them" vote for this guy?

Bush "has a tenuous grasp of the instruments of government and how to wield them" vote for this guy?

I wish this was a harder question than it is. It's because a destructive idiot who will push for your narrow minded, theocratic, racist, homophobic, suffocating, white male supremacist zealotry is far better than an intelligent and competent man who will oppose you.
