Reply #73: I wasn't criticizing Kerry

[sandnsea]

He's actually got a pretty pragmatic record. I think alot of what he was actually saying got mixed up with what some others were interpreting. His health care plan for example. I saw people write LTTE's supporting his single payer plan. Or helping frame the IWR vote as a vote for war, rather than laying that one on Bush who said he had no plans for war in Oct 2002. America supported the IWR vote in Oct 2002, but not war. The left helped frame that and helped frame wishy-washy as a result. Because they refuse to see that America just isn't where they're at on most issues. Which isn't to say Kerry isn't a liberal, he's the most liberal candidate we ever could have hoped to elect. And still not good enough for the left. In order to be far enough left for the leftists, we'd have to run a candidate who was out of touch with 90% of America. And you can't convince these people of that. It's ridiculous.
