Reply #19: And yet none of that was enough to elect John Kerry in 2004. [View All]

Even though a lot of it, especially his domestic "accomplishments" took place before that election. The fundamental political questions of the past few months seem to have been:

Should we or should we not unilaterally bomb Iran?

Should we or should we not be allowed to torture people the government doesn't like?

Should we or should we not renew the odious PATRIOT act?

The fact that we are even having these discussions, let alone the unpleasant outcome of each, is evidence in and of itself that the country has moved to the right.

The political sentiment of the nation is not the least of our problems, as the political sentiment of the nation will, in part, determine the next leder.
