I, too, am faced with the dilemma of wanting to support
Kerry to get rid of Bush & Co. but not happy with his
stance on the Iraq war situation. I was a war protestor
also and feel that I would have liked Kerry to take a
much stronger position about exiting from Iraq.
HOWEVER, regardless of his motives (more votes?), we
MUST get rid of the current administration and the plus
with Kerry is that should he get into office, he will be
more able to meet with the rest of the world who will be
happy to have a change of regime to talk to, ditto for
the UN. We can then voice our concerns as an anti-war
coalition which will have much more effect, especially
if we are strongly organized, with a democratic
administration than the present one.
He has also made strong statements about the role of
Halliburton, et. al. in Iraq's "reconstruction" and this
is another area where our voices could be effective.
Please, people, don't throw your votes away and although
I appreciate your progressive principles, (I am one of
you) we have a terrible battle on our hands and must at
least get the door open enough to have an impact.
I think Kerry is an intelligent man (what a contrast to
Bush), which is in his favor as to being able to
recognize what works and what doesn't. No one running
for the democratic presidency could be elected if they
took a purely progressive stand and it is up to us to
have our voices heard in hopefully, a Kerry
administration. At least we will get rid of the
Rumsfelds, Ashcrofts and ilk and hope that decent people
will replace them. It is not a perfect world, will never
be, and the fight must continue.
