>Z, that's silly. There have been major votes, like Kerry's vote against the Gulf War, that crystalize his position, and just as "sound-bitable" as anything Bush has done. Yes, there are unimportant votes, but these can be safely ignored. Maybe they crystalize his position, maybe they don't... people do vote for and against bills based on technicalities... those are tough to explain! >This is the most uninformed thing I've ever seen you post here -- and I don't say it lightly. You and Fowler are both speaking idiotically on this. To suggest that people ARE NOT in grave danger (even though Bush has greatly reduced that danger) is simply ignorant. A nuclear device detonated in Times Square isn't beyond the realm of possibility. Even if it is 1/10000th of 1 percent over any given unit of time (a year), the expected loss is staggering. I've posted it before (quite a while ago and a few minutes ago)... I don't see the chances of that happening as being very high, and I don't see the entire country being in a constant state of fear and vigil as helpful to the situation, at all! Having said that, we need to do something... spending trillions to turn dictatorships into failed-states ain't it. -Z
