17. Kerry won't defend us if it could affect his "electability"
"His IWR vote is a blot on his record, and demonstartes his willingness to seel out on the major moral issue of the day."

I agree. He sold us out. He didn't "have our back". What possible evidence do we have that he ever will stand up for us, if it could affect his popularity and reelection chances.

It's amazing how many people keep parroting the idea that Kerry is the most electable. The media got that idea to take on, then they kept repeating it. Then they asked people who they thought was more "electable" and people started responding "Kerry." It's like the media taught them some course content, and then quizzed them on it. Congruatulations, people, you learned what the media taught you.

Kerry is still seen as elecable because he has gotten a free ride from the media--so far. Once we are in the general election, is that free ride really likely to continue? Or are we going to start seeing things like this...
