Putzing

I am trying to find reasons to like Kerry, and not vote for him just because he is not Bush (a valid reason). I actually like his wife for her sometimes over the top bluntness, but I think I like Kerry's cousin even more. http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/28/kerry_cousin/index.html

Actually, I see more difference in his professed platform and Bush's than there was in the last presidential election. I personally see him as a politician who actually looks into the details, not just make decisions on faith. Nor do I view No Child Left Behind as the solution to any problem Bush hasn't got a clue on. Especially since while I agree a national education policy is a good idea, the details weren't all thought through, because it's right.

As for Teresa's comment about Laura, I still like her, because it is obvious she is not the politician in the couple (unlike much maligned Hilary). And while she has quite a bit of money, she also married into it and Kerry comes from plenty on his own. And she speaks five languages, and seen a bit more of extreme poverty growing up as a bush doctor's daughter than Laura did, even if she didn't live in it.

Sometimes you cannot anaylze things to death. If you do, you see the same answer a million ways and get nothing done. You must have faith in yourself or you get bogged down in details and never can complete a task. The most intelligent and richest people with all the advantages in life have no more insight into life than the guy who works down at the corner gas station. I never profess to know what someone has gone through in life. All I can see is the end result of the person. Like I stated-it is a great nation when everyone can have their opinion.
