When looking back at his actions over the last 20 years, I have doubts, and I think that chance is an underdog. I just hope all those actions were opportunist actions as well.

[/ QUOTE ] To be honest with you, being an opportunist in foreign policy is key, the president, and the state department have to always be looking for angles to exploit(I would at least). Kerry is far stronger a man then people give him credit for. He doesn't blindly dive into things, and he isn't afraid to change his stance if facts come up later. I think his post vietnam actions were admirable, but I can see how they may have angered people. I just think that if someone had seen anything like what Kerry described in Vietnam(and a lot of the stuff he described did happen in Vietnam) and didn't say something they would be letting down the entire country. I think it was said in Boondock Saints, but something to the effect that the apathy of good men is worse than the evil of bad men, and I believe that to the fullest.

It's his history on human rights and his views, and his advisors views, on foreign politcs that has me really worried

You are familiar with the views of Bush's administration in terms of foreign policy? If not, look into the prior employment and the published doctrines of Cheney, Perle, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld.

If you agree with there views then we clearly have ideological differences but their plan has been clearly and publicly outlined.

You thought that the Red Sox were going to win the ALCS, but then changed your mind when they went down 3-0?

before the series started I thought they were going to beat NY.

I think I am voting for Kerry.

It's a definite possibility, and I fear you may be right. I just hope Kerry becomes a alot more predictable and stable, or we are screwed.

God help us, because we really really need it.

In my opinion, it's better to be an 'unpredictable' firecracker than a 'stable' nuclear bomb.

I agree, I liked it as well.

I feel the same way about this race as I did about the Lakers v. Pistons.

Everybody said Lakers would kill them. The Pistons won in Five. I hate the Lakers and don't usually bet on games that I am emotionally attached too, but I knew Pistons would win after game 1 so I bet on them to win the series and bet every game.

If you take Kerry now at +118, you will get the best of it. I know that for a fact. Kerry is 55% gonna win in my book, but I love the guy so what do I know??
