Some 40+ % are actually going to vote for this brain dead guy Kerry. Given the facts about who he is people still believe he is the guy to lead. THAT IS TERRIFYING, how can so many people be that misinformed? The answer is the SOCILIAST MEDIA. Wherever you go for information the medias' story is the same. If you read one article you have read them all. This is such an organized, scripted and orchestrated mis-information campaign you have to ask WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? I believe we are up against something very evil. Imagine if they had a charismatic type of person on the ticket. This is the worst candidate the DemaRrats have had in years. He couldn’t arouse a group of Sr. citizens at a free lunch let alone anyone with a half a brain (Sr’s still think Roosevelt can save them. They think the Dem’s are for the working-man and the Republicans’ are for the rich and big business.) AND HE STILL HAS 40+%!!.

"Is it wise to support a candidate based primarily on a visceral dislike of the other candidate,..."

Well, that was the only reason I could come up with for voting for Dole-Kemp in '96!

...although they clearly disassociate themselves with communism and its underlying philosophy of Marxism...

Bullshit.

The 40+ are the brain dead. Even the Hollywood types. I fear the educated are so missinformed they can never decern a lie from the truth. The main fear I have is that this "brain dead" will be with us after President Bush is reelected and they will be so destructive that we will never be safe from Terrorist. America is being destroyed from within.

"They know they want some amount of big government, but have no method for determining how big it should be, although they clearly disassociate themselves with communism and its underlying philosophy of Marxism, which ironically would at least provide them with principles."

I didn't know this.

The CPUSA has openly and boldly endorsed Kerry and if the democRATs have disavowed them, I haven't seen it.

They have walked hand-in-hand with the communists at least since the 1920, I don't see the basis for Rachel Alexander saying this.

"...an alarming number of Kerry supporters cannot explain why they support Kerry."

This dovetails with the idiotic 'rat battle cry of "Anyone but Bush." To utter such nonsense essentially would include Saddam Hussein or Usama bin Laden being better for this country (shaking head in disgust).

Democrats find it difficult to support Kerry because of his waffling on issues and painfully obvious Democratic amorphousness on principles.

Plus the fact that he, personally, inspires no leadership, inspires no trust, and just plain doesn't inspire. I think the general electorate is just going to gag as they see him up close.

The motivation-by-hate factor is empty, futile, and, ultimately, destructive. I don't think that the undecideds will be swayed toward Kerry.

Nevertheless they are voting for Kerry
