So Kerry opted for the safety of Iraq rather than the danger of the senate

Is that what those of you who call him a coward for not standing up are trying to tell me? There are certainly WAAAAY more hazardous places for a photo op..such as the halls of congress and that is where he should have been on Thursday?

Well...I guess I just can't buy that. On the day that Barbara Boxer stood up..John Kerry was over in Iraq standing up for leadership THERE in sharp contrast to George Bush who I believe was out pimping tort reform so that people deformed by bad medical care could suffer financially (some maybe even injured veterans) and advocating ripping off retirees via destruction of social security.

Kerry also visited Syria in an attempt to demonstrate diplomacy versus the "bush in the china shop" approach to foreign relations.

In my view HE WAS representing me even though he lost the election...I favor diplomacy over war...if all John Kerry does for the next four years is get out there publicly and stand in sharp contrast to George Bush...he will have fought for me....who knows? Maybe I should want more...like vile rhetoric...yeah...that will solve all the world's problems with America...right?
