Did anyone here sit out the 2004 general election because of John Kerry's vote for the IWR,

[Nye Bevan]

his support of NAFTA, his historical opposition to marriage equality, or for any other reason?

If so, any regrets?

[MADem]

1. LOL!!!!!

John Edwards voted for that awful thing, TOO! Amazing how people managed to overlook his "sins" as well!

[NCTraveler]

2. I like Kerry a lot.

I think he is currently in a great position and doing great work. One percenter is rocking it out at State!!!

[LexVegas]

3. Again...Kerry is a male and Clinton is held to a different standard.

She is held responsible for the crime bill, even though she didn't vote for it and Sanders did for Christ's sake.

5. He voted for the resolution and stood against DECISION to use force when weapon inspectors proved

force was not needed. Perhaps that has been forgotten.

Also - Kerry voted against DOMA. Perhaps that has been forgotten, too.

Also - No one can name ONE person in DC who has investigated and exposed more government corruption than John Kerry has. Perhaps that has been forgotten, too.

Anyone regretting a vote for John Kerry wouldn't be much of a student of this nation's REAL history and how positively he effected it over the last 5 decades, would they?

10. Stop confusing us with facts, please.

And don't bring up 2004 being only a year into those disastrous wars.

[JaneyVee]

6. Or make a big deal out of his wealth?

[bigwillq]

7. Didn't sit out

And no regrets.

[thereismore]

8. That vote may be why he lost. He could not draw a clear distinction. nt

[lunasun]

9. Phone banked GOTV for him .Not a perfect person, but better than Bush . No regrets except dem party

They should have pushed back on the swiftboating
Repukes will have some more crap this time too

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. K & R

[jillan]

12. He was running against a man that lied us into war. A little different than now, ya think?

[casperthegm]

13. And he didn't have Sanders running against him n/t

[PowerToThePeople]

14. Anyone but Bush.

We had a regime of war crimals who were in office through a partisan court ruling.

Any candidate with a chance of wining would have had my vote.

[mylye2222]

15. Well, unlile Hillary he is working at state in mainly purpose

to bring peace. He is not using SD for personal career improvement and private interests donatiins. That is a big difference.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. More to the point he did not get my primary vote nor much effort on my part, and he was no on DOMA

by the way, historically he has supported but in that election he hedged hence the 'not much effort' in the general. I would also point out that John Edwards was a very eager co-sponsor of IWR and I opposed him as VP and then as candidate and boy was I right.
Another important fact, John Kerry and John Edwards lost to Bush and Cheney. In spite of people like me voting for them anyway, they lost. Meaning I made a compromise for them and yet they did not deliver the fucking goods, thus making my own choices moot.
I'm not fond of that sort of election. Are you?
