17. His votes aren't more often right
That's the whole point. That's why the reasons for the votes matter so you don't get snookered by one or two that you agree with. What matters is what are people going to do after the vote. What are they unleashing. You don't know that unless you listen to what they have to say. That's why people don't know that Kerry hasn't really said anything today that's all that much different than a year ago, they didn't listen. If they had, him withdrawing troops wouldn't have been news at all, he planned to begin withdrawing troops this past summer and said it a year ago. That was a huge difference between him and Bush. But everybody listened to what the media said he said instead of what he said. Words matter. Bush's words should have been used to hold him to account, his words are the ones that have horrified the world, his words unleashed the lies and the bullying, his words alienated the world. Not any vote.
