Originally posted by Trapps: I'm willing to explore recent history on Kerry's views if it preferable to overlook the past 20 years. But, let�s apply the same principals to our perspectives on President Bush.
the issue is that some people aren't willing to look at the current. the candidates have the opportunity to speak on what they would do in the CURRENT situation and going forward.
the arena a senator works in and the cic works in are two very different areas. i'm more open-minded than to accept the idea that a "questionable" voting record in the senate would prohibit a candidate from making better informed decisions on a higher level as a cic.
ultimately bush/kerry face the task of convincing voters they're the best pick for president. but that all circles back to the things bush isn't handling very well right now...perception.
