ok, i'm convinced that the kerry-edwards campaign has been indulging in a little too much of the NAACP's crack cocaine and that john and john have fully converted to disciples of science. i have now heard them both talk about 'believing in' science, i've heard john edwards guarantee faith healings, and tonight i heard john kerry talking about the 'true promise' of stem cell research. 'true promise'? huh? are they that dense, or that deceptive (i would go with yes on both counts)? i mean, it's been awhile since i read the book of the prophet WebMD, but...
also, i'm still annoyed at their voter suppression and disenfranchisement techniques. they're wasting everyone's time in a number of states trying to keep ralph nader off the ballot through litigation, and now it's questionable whether many of the soldiers fighting abroad on our behalf will be able to vote in the election, because they might not get the ballots in time, because the ballots haven't even been printed yet in some states, because they're wasting everyone's time in a number of...you get the idea. this is coming from the same people who talk a lot about 'every vote counting'. but they 1) don't want people to have more choices on the ballot than they deem fit and 2) don't want military folks, who overwhelmingly support the president, to be able to vote. i guess all their talk about the 'right to choose' is only so much empty rhetoric and hot air, and that the only 'right to choose' that they support is that of killing another human being, not of electing one president.
