Slowly rescinding my negative opinion of Kerry
Well he will never be president but it looks like he learned some valuable stuff this past election about voting and standing up for our rights...I still think he should have led the fight in the streets to get this past election overturned and that he should have been willing to sacrifice everything for justice and our democracy...I digress I'm proud of him and I'm hoping that this is the first of many votes that aren't in the middle and actually mean something. We shall see, I have a feeling that boxer is setting a new standard for our few Dem senators. Clinton is gonna start needing to take a stand not in the middle if she really wants the nom in 08 at this point boxer is my president! I hope that boxer knows that what she is doing means something to all of us, and we see that standing up to these bully's is the only way that we are gonna win this war (against rove).

Point of the post is that Kerry showed some of that courage that he had after he got back from Vietnam and we must pay attention to all these hearings and hold our senators responsible for their individual votes on all of these things. They are all feeling pressure from the people to do whats right and i do think DU is a big reason for that!

2. And, "I think DU is a big reason", too
Sometimes I can hear it in their language. From Boxer, Biden today asking Condi if she was a neocon, Seymour Hersh talking about "drinking the Koolaid" on Tuesday etc.

Yes, I too, see that he is getting it...if somewhat slowly, nonthe less.

We the People are watching and he needs to honor the principles of true Americans!

less "middle" votes as well.

also if you love Senator Boxer this much ( I think we all do btw) then can you send a thank you pic along to http://thankyoupatriot.com?

She has heard the call and stood up and I stand inspired and awed by her as Im sure you do as well.

4. I am so happy that Kerry voted against Condiliar
He made me proud for voting for him for President. If he keeps up this up, he might just be the right person in 2008.
