Kerry has the opportunity to lead a movement once again... by rallying a very angry public to force a change in policy. Richard Nixon worried about Kerry's potential as a leader back in the 70s; maybe the new Kerry will finally prove him right.
John Kerry came to national attention not because he was a war hero but because he was a dissenter. In 1971, he appeared on "The Dick Cavett Show," testified before Congress, and electrified anti-war rallies with his message that the war was wrong. His phrase, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" was used for years to define his commitment and eloquence.

I missed it in the article. What was, is or will be the his "plan?" How is what he is doing different or new? What did Nixon have to do with it again? Dissent is patriotism? Is that the point of the article? Since Kerry is finally and completely dissenting, he is "more" patriotic than he was during the presidential race?

John Kerry is a broken electronic clock, and he's flashing , so actually his broken clock isn't right twice a day.
