Ok, let me just say it. I think that John Kerry is one of the least interesting presidential candidates in a while. All of his support must come from his supporters' intense dislike of Bush, because I just don't see why anbody would willingly support the guy otherwise. This isn't just my Republican partisanship coming out either, if Kerry was a Republican, I'd be saying the same thing. And what's up with Kerry changing his mind on almost every issue? Once upon a time, Republicans called Clinton a waffler, but Kerry makes Clinton look like a rank amature. Come on John, take a position and stick to it for once.
Oh yeah, and here's the newest thing. Kerry is now trying to have it both ways on the abortion issue. Instead of taking the traditional hedging "personally opposed to abortion but believe in a woman's right to chose" position, Kerry is trying to make the Catholic voters happy by saying that he believes that life begins at conception. Come on John, that only makes your continued support for abortion seem worse, because now you're admitting that abortion takes lives and that you support the taking of lives. And, it makes Kerry's support for embryonic stem cell research worse than it already is, because if life begins at conception, then he's supporting killing humans for medical research, which is just sick.
