want to cry. Thanks! :)

John Kerry had a specific agenda to move the country in a direction a lot more Americans (meaning even some Republicans) have now come to appreciate. His progressive agenda was frowned on by the right and some establishment Democrats, but we see how Democratic silence and a tendency to look the other way can destroy a democracy. After Iraq, the Roberts and Alito confirmations to the SCOTUS are probably the two most damaging outcomes of the Bush administration. Sure Bush would have replaced them with other conservatives, but these two were the architects of the unitary executive push. They were entrenched and should never have been confirmed. The RW was fighting not only for their existence in 2004, but also to rapidly advance their agenda. They were willing to do anything to retain power. That's what Kerry was up against; that and a country that really couldn't see what Bush and his cronies were up to. Enough!
