self-control that I am able to (grudgingly) send money to Kerry and vote for him.

I understand precisely how your husband feels. I felt exactly the same way. The man would respond to Bush idiocy with four paragraph come-backs that made my heart sing. He did not put up with Smirk's faux "religious" bullshit, gaybashing, gun promoting smears. He was completely and utterly and unabashedly in favor of the separation of church and state and was clear that he wanted religion OUT of government and recognized the ghastly effects on civilization and government when religion takes control.

He didn't pander to the 'middle class tax cutters' like Kerry who realize we are on the brink of an economic collapse and that the revenues will be needed to fund the SS contract and medicare and to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

The man spoke the truth, and let the chips fall where they may. He is and was GREAT. It is extremely difficult to come from seeing him as a possible candidate to settling for Kerry. EXTREMELY difficult.

Give your husband some time. It took a lot of time for me too. As undesirable as Kerry is, it does not seem possible that he will be worse than Smirk. God I hope I'm right and the SOB better not reinstate the draft, or I'll be out marching in the streets against his ass, too.
