Pretty much. I don't buy into the Republican attack rhetoric about Kerry, but I don't buy into the Democratic posturing about the guy being some kind of heroic leader either. He is a second-rater who played the safe bet and squeezed into the nomination. Compare his speech to Barack Obama's. It's depressing to see what a dud the Democratic candidate is compared to a guy who isn't even a Senator yet. I would vote for a Democrat, no problem, maybe Obama one day if he puts together a decent record in the Senate, but not Kerry.
It's not that I think Bush has done a great job all around. He should ditch Cheney and Rumsfeld, put a moderate like Powell on the ticket with him, stop the insanity with the budget, and back off the right wing social agenda.
But I hardly see how Kerry would be an improvement. It's one thing, as I said, if you are a Democrat, you believe in the Democratic agenda, and you are voting on the agenda. But that's not where I am. I look what the president is doing, I see the economy getting better, Iraq settling down, the federal government working on securing the homeland, and I think things are going well enough that the president deserves another four years rather than bringing in a whole new administration.
