Grandma always told me to look for the silver lining, so...
...civil war would probably still be happening in Iraq if Kerry were President, except Dems would be blamed. Agree? Disagree?

1. I might as well say it now...
but in a way I was glad that Kerry lost.

That's ONLY because if he had won he would have been left with cleaning up Bush's pile of crap and the dems would be blamed with everything that "had gone wrong ever since Kerry was sworn into office". I still wish he won though, of course.

7. Well, true.
I'll have to amend my statement a bit.

"Much as I hate to say it, I'm glad Kerry didn't get into the White House...yet."

5. I believe you are right about that. I believe that Kerry would
have been able to improve our standing with some of our allies and helped us regain some credibility with the rest of the world. Bush's actions have done a lot of damage to our reputation, IMO.

4. Let the bottom fall out and let the Democrats come back in..
and clean up. We did in 1932, 1976, and 1992.
