Not to hijack this thread but I'm going to...kinda. I'm an ex-middle-right- Republican who because of the policies of this administration I have become a full fleged Dem. Now I am very scared of the prospect of Cheney and Bush et al getting another 4 years (first time in my 42 years that I've every been afraid of my own government). I first thought that John Kerry would run an effective campaign and disslodge these neo-cons from power. As the campaign continues it seems that Kerry is shooting himself in the foot, starting with the stupid statement that he would have still voted for the war knowing what he knows now. Is it just me or do you all have this feeling too?
