Reply #18: That Is So Very True LittleClarkie

Kerry has proven more than once he would take on issues others wouldn't dare touch because they were the one's afraid of what it would do to their political career. Kerry doesn't think only of himself and his political career he thinks of what's best for this country and those living in it. He has been advised by people not to do certain things because of the damage it might do to his career, but Kerry did them anyway because he felt that it was the right thing to do. A couple of examples was he had people advising him to stay away from the POW-MIA, eventually he had people on both sides of ailes telling him to drop the BCCI, and a more recent one was Clinton trying to give him advice on the the gay marriage thing during the campaign all of which I might add Kerry didn't listen to and he did what he felt was right. Kerry has a mind of his own and he will listen to the advice of others but if he doesn't agree with it he doesn't take it and he has proven that over and over again. That is one of the things he is highly respected for.
