In my opinion,Kerry had enough moxy to come back from Vietnam as a veteran and protest what he felt was wrong. He had no way of knowing at that time that it would be a good political strategy to reference in the future. He came up against the government on behalf of his fellow soldiers to try and represent a minorty of the population suffering as a result of the terrors of that failed war. I believe sacrficing popularity for voiceing what you firmly believe in is a sign of great character. And what of the willigness to speak for the good of the whole even during a time of consistent strife?..........Does Bush have great(any) character? Nobility? If so, can you name an instance of even a minute bravery he acted out of for the good of the country? (outside of political pressures)
I watched Uncle Tom's Cabin this morning (rarely do I cry) and it struck me that if we were to somehow rearrange time and imagine Bush as president during that period what actions would he have taken on the most basic of human and civil rights?
