Ted, here's the bottom line, and I've gotten confirmation of this from JF, Al, and Z in one form or another.

Kerry is only presenting one side of himself, the side that volunteered for combat duty, the side that is strong on defense whenever necessary. He's constantly reminding us that he won medals in Vietnam, that he's a "dutiful soldier," all because his focus groups told him this is exactly what the public wants. It's all an image meant to win the most amount of votes possible. Most of his supporters don't like it, since they're obviously much more anti-war than Kerry is pretending to be. But they're willing to go along because in their minds, Bush will be far worse.

I can't stress that enough: Image is Everything. The only problem is, Kerry's image is a house of cards, and neither you nor Al nor "independent" JF is willing to admit that because you fear the consequences of that house collapsing.

At least I can honestly admit that the results of Bush's administration have been mixed at best, and that his deficit spending will bite us all in the butt sometime next year or the year after that. And I can say that without letting go of my faith and trust in Bush. Does that make me overly partisan? Of course it does. Who isn't?
