Reply #21: That's also probably true. I'm not going to pretend know. [View All]

I support Kucinich; if I could have voted at the time of my primary, I would have voted for him. I think that a lot of people right now are sick of the game Kerry has to play to get swing votes. Because he now has to shift to the moderate side (just like Bush* is doing), they may feel that he is turning into a moderate. Yes, I do know about his liberal voting record, but you know that the here and now is what matters to some people; that's how Dean was able to be perceived as a left wing radical, even though his record was more central.

Any way, I also think that a lot of people are disappointed with his current comments on the Israeli assassination of the Hamas leader and with his plan (or lack thereof for some) for Iraq. And then there are some, a minority I believe, that are just antagonists and will say anything to get a rise out of DU. Those people don't bother listening to.

I personally don't agree with all of Kerry's positions, and it's unrealistic to expect to, but I'm not going to call him Bush-lite* Although sometimes they appear to be the same. Hopefully, that's just pre-election pandering on both parties.
