Why John Kerry Matters

[OneBlueSky]

here's an unusual endorsement from the folks at Human Potential Left, a rather offbeat group that describe themselves as "Political and social commentary with its head in the clouds, but its feet planted firmly on the ground." . . . a little politics, a little astrology, and voila . . .

Why John Kerry Matters

He's been discounted by the pundits, eclipsed in early New Hampshire and Iowa polls by Howard Dean, and now finds what he thought as his trump card, his distinguished military service, overshadowed by the entry of Wesley Clark into the Presidential race. His controversial vote to give President Bush the authority to use the threat of force in Iraq continues to haunt him with angry, anti-war activist Democrats. His rationale for both that vote, and his eventual break with the President's policy, is simultaneously misrepresented by his primary opponents or spun against him by Republicans operatives with good reason to fear his emergence as the ultimate Democratic nominee. Nine months after surgery for prostate cancer, he endures the bone-tiring marathon that constitutes running for President in America. But throughout the trials of 2003, John Forbes Kerry continues to hone his message, articulate his vision, and demonstrate, day-in and day-out, the breath of understanding and strength of character that make him the person most suited to become President on January 20, 2005.

A Practical, Disciplined Idealist

John Kerry's psycho-spiritual dynamics, like those of all of us, represent the amalgamation of sometimes contradictory, potentially warring impulses. For instance, with the Sun in Sagittarius, and Sagittarius rising, one expects a man or woman of expansive vision, of wide perspective, of fiery, inspirational rhetoric, and of high ideals. These traits are easily identified in any examination of Kerry's history. But, as the neo-conservatives in and around the Bush Administration have demonstrated, rhetoric and idealism isn't everything it's cracked up to be – especially if your grasp of the fundamentals of effective action, and your ability to appreciate current reality, aren't well developed. In comparison, John Kerry is what I would describe as a practical, disciplined idealist – which in my book is the very best kind.
