I'm active military, so my comments in this area are restricted to those that are not the CINC.
Kerry has not made one solid stance on any one thing. He flip flops about domestic issues, and spends 90% of his time criticizing Bush instead of offering up HIS solutions. When he does offer a solution, two days later he contradicts himself. The most recent, "We'll just give control over to the UN and appologise to everyone" does not bode well for me. We have already looked weak after the Clinton years, we cannot afford to do so again.
Frankly, I see no one voting for Kerry on his merit, because he's not given enough information. Most people will vote for him to get rid of Bush, I find that sad. Until people start pushing Kerry for REAL answers and REAL potential solutions .. he's nothing more than a talking puppet. No one should be elected based on how well they can insult the current POTUS.
What happened to expecting our politicians to run on the issues and not their opponents faults?
