On being a decisive leader and why Bush's talking point is wrong...
It seems to me that the Bush Campaign hinges the campaign on the idea that being decisive is more important than being, not a flip flopper, but flexable. This is a key point, Kerry himself stated that it is NOT unreasonable to change positions due to access to new facts, that is something that Kerry needs to hammer Bush on. Having a decisive leader is good for the country, but only when tempered by humility and knowing you are not infallible. Kerry grasps that, yet Bush does not, you can see this in Bush's policies, especially regarding the Iraq war.

Bush is in the driver's seat right now, and right now we are heading towards the edge of a cliff. He even thinks this is the right direction to go, but now, I think it's time to change drivers and move to the left a good 90 degrees.
