I remember posting that thing. > > Update: Dad’s still on the fence, leaning towards Kerry, but Mom has a real problem with Kerry’s stance on abortion–she’s heard him say life begins at conception, but then he’s totally pro-choice–partial birth, stem cell, the whole nine months (heh). She sees this as a basic moral disconnect in his mind and thinks that perhaps all of his beliefs will be as malleable as that one, that it symbolizes a lack of moral grounding. > > I’m also pro-life FWIW but I like Kerry a lot more (My Perfect Candidate has yet to appear), and I’ll keep working on her 😃 Wow, it seems we are pretty close on a lot of things, I feel pretty similar on Kerry and the abortion thing. I am also concerned that I haven’t heard a lot of detail on his plan to end the Iraq debacle. On the other hand, I am not a huge fan of the Bush tax cut or the seeming lack of an exit strategy in Iraq. I don’t feel, however, that much of the rabid anti-Bush rhetoric is accurate or helpful, just like I didn’t when it was happening to Clinton. I guess I’m one of those mystical “swing voters” you hear so much about. Anyway, it’s nice to find a (at least somewhat) kindred spirit on the boards, and a little bit of (seemingly non-partisan) love in such a polarized thread.
