Kerry has articulated that it is our nation's responsibility not to abandon Iraq to total chaos. He advocates rebuilding bridges with other nations and the UN, asking for their help, to stop playing into the terrorist rhetoric of jihad and oil occupation, and to have global help with this nation building. (We'll see if Bush adresses the UN...)
Reasons I'm leaning Kerry:
Kerry is smarter than Bush. I want a leader who is smarter than Bush.
Kerry seems to understands diplomacy.
As far as I am aware, Kerry does not use fundamental Christian rhetoric to describe the righteousness of his policies or as justification for governmental decisions.
Kerry supports a woman's right to choose.
Kerry doesnt support gay marriage (darn) but is open to civil unions. I'll take a bit of social progress.
Kerry, even though filthy rich himself, will reverse Bush's tax cuts for the rich.
Kerry inspires just the slightest bit of hope in me that things can improve and not get worse.
Kerry is the moderate.
Kerry's running mate will not be Dick Cheney.
