A serious entry. More of my opinionated political ramblings.
The Democratic party has gotten really stupid these days. They hate Bush with a flaming passion, so what do they do? They nominate a candidate just like him. John Kerry voted yes to war in Iraq, he voted yes on the Patriot act, and he opposes gay marriage. And Liberal America wants this guy to represent them?
Besides, do the Democrats really think that they can convince moderates and conservatives to vote for a guy who's whole platform is "I'm not George Bush"? Oh wait, I forgot, he also thinks that raising taxes will magically fix everything. Besides, the economy is getting better, so Kerry's got little that he can criticize Bush on without being an absolute hypocrite.
All Kerry's nomination has done is to ensure that Bush gets back in office for another 4 years.
