31. Guess what - - he's a friggin' SENATOR who's running for PRESIDENT
Why is okay for Kerry to pass the buck - - "Gee, I just didn't notice I was being sold a bill of goods, I really would have made a better decision if I had noticed that I had swallowed a load of BS" - - "Golly, I just didn't take the time to read all that pesky paperwork, I'm sure I would have made a better decision if had bothered to do the absolute bare minimum required for my job" - - and it's a crime for Smirk to say the exact same thing?
Do you really think the President doesn't ever have to deal with folks trying to deceive him/her? You think there's no foreign leaders who lie to the President's face? You think there's no spies who try and con the President into some foreign policy blunder that benefits their country (or party)? You think there won't be people in a Kerry Admin with their own agenda who give the President bogus information to try and manipulate his decisions?
How do you know Kerry has the knowledge (and the people skills) to know when to trust people - - if this is an example of his critical thinking?
The other option is that Kerry knew very well what was going on, cyncially voted to go to war because it was very popular, and he knew he couldn't run for President in 2004 if he didn't - - and that "I didn't read the paper before I voted" is a pathetic attempt to cover himself now that the vote has become a political liability.
So which is he: incompetent or corrupt?

55. Please stop criticizing Kerry
Kerry is our only hope of getting rid of Bush.

77. Good grief. That's how the Republicans got stuck with Smirk
Because he was the only hope of getting rid of the Clinton dynasty. And all the Republican moderates crossed their fingers while they voted for Smirk and hoped he would govern differently than he campaigned. Look at how well that worked out for them.
If Kerry is such a bad candidate that he can't be criticized about anything, especially for his decisions about major votes like whether to authorize a war, then we're toast from the get go. Or are we supposed to be like the Republicans were, insisting that the Emperor is wearing a gold plated tuxedo with matching spats when he's obviously wandering around in his underoos?
Besides, it's going to take one hell of a lot more than a different President to turn this country around. We have to win back control of the Congress. And we have to hold Congressfolks accountable for bad decisions. It is our constitutional duty.
