It was John Kerry, who took that message most directly to the seat of power when he appeared before the Senate. That, by the way . . . is the act as distinguished from mere words, that for me makes him the candidate I enthusiastically support
That to me is the issue of the Kerry candidacy. The nomination of x42 was the vindication of the "antiwar" movement at the very moment that the "Right Wing Cold Warriors" under Ronald Reagan achieved their purpose of stopping Soviet expansionism.John Kerry's entire political history has been in opposition to Ronald Reagan and to his poliltical heirs. And that means that - like Clinton and in contrast to the fantasy Clinton expressed that he wished 911 had happened on his watch so that Clinton could have been a hero in response to it - Kerry is opposed to actual heroism in defense of the Constituiton of the United States.
Naturally that will be inverted in the Democratic Convention, where Lt John Kerry will be glorified as the great warrior. And that is the whole resume of John Kerry and John Edwards. That, and "Bush him bad" rhetoric.
