I agree with Kerry on a number of issues actually. Go to his website and really read some of the things he has to say on there. Unfortunately the things going on in this country right now are more complex than a 30 second sound bite or commercial.
I agree with his stance on our civil rights. Abortion, gay marriage, religion and schools, and most of all the fact that he isn't making up things like the "patriot act" to get involved in all my personal business.
Mostly I'm interested in getting out of this quagmire in Iraq. Kerry understands that this is a huge mess and longterm, it's a losing battle. We need to get the rest of the world (remember them? Those people who could barely tolerate listening to Bush speak at the UN the other day?) talking to us again so that we can come up with a plan to turn over Iraq to the Iraqi people.
He understands that we need to track the terrorists by follwing the money and the intelligence we have and get the people who are really out to do us harm here in the US. Not made up crazy stuff about WMD's and nukes in Iraq. We need to get together and curb the development of nukes in Iran and N. Korea. We can't do that by being a bully. That was cold war policy and the cold war is over.
Also Kerry and Edwards understand that the way to get out of trouble in the Middle East is to reduce our dependance on foreign oil. We need to press the auto industry to make more fuel efficient cars or even better alternative fuel cars.
I don't expect Kerry to wave a magic wand next January and fix everything, but he could get us well on the road to recovery in the eyes of the world and give back some of our civil liberties in the process.
