And as long as we keep each other happy, we get to stage out of baghdad when eating syria's lunch.
The democracy shell is there for now. The Shia are apparently accepting the constitution...let's see what happens after we hand over the reins.

That's where the WMD's are, you know. Those that they couldn't get to Lebanon and Libya for laundering.
Or, maybe they're in Canada...or Zimbabwe...or under the White House...

Kerry's record will speak for itself. I think it's too liberal for our country, and I think a majority of people who are hanging their hopes on Kerry to beat Bush in 11.04 are gonna have to fire up their microbusses and make a peace train out to D.C. JK gonna need the support of his friends.
The real race has just begun...and I imagine there are a lot of people where the "liberal" record of John Kerry isn't that big of a deal. And some (maybe many) will recognize that he represents a fairly liberal state. What he's done in the Senate doesn't necessarily translate to what he might do in the presidency. I think there are a lot of liberals and moderates (and probably some fiscal conservatives) who don't like the direction of the country under Republican executive and Republican legislative branches of government, and are ready for a change.

I'm waiting for my Kerry bumper stickers to arrive by mail...I'm sure his campaign will start hitting me up for money soon.
