I don't feel like Kerry is solid enough to do what's right. I'm not sure he's even capable of making strong decisions. When in his life has he chosen something and stuck with it? The leader of the free world has to be able to do that. He's proventhat in his campaign completely changing his message every time it seems like he might be able to one-up someone.

I wholeheartedly agree - there is a difference b/w a decision about joining a GLO and a decision about war. I was trying to make a light-hearted point, and was actually referring to his decision about using his military service in his campaign, which, again, I agree, is not near the level of the decision about war, but I'll respond anyways.
Personally, I don't like Kerry as a candidate for President. When we had a trillion and one Democrats announce their candidacy, he was not anywhere near the top of my list. But at this point, he's my only choice now, isn't he? How you feel about Kerry is how I feel about Bush. I don't think he's a solid leader. I think he makes bad decisions. I think he's a flip-flopper. But I'm not going to run around and use that as my only argument. It's petty, and it gets really repetitive (I know, I know, if he didn't flip-flop so much we wouldn't have so many opportunities to comment, right?
). Why is past military service such a big issue? It's just one big pissing contest over who's military service was longer/better and it has no bearing on who will be better at leading our country.
