What is Kerry saying is his good stuff that contrasts with Bush's? The problem for you is that as mediocre as Bush has been, we're still confronted with an evern worse alternative.
And what's the beef with Afghanistan? It had nothing except Taliban and harbored al Qaeda. Now it's got nothing, without the oppresive regime. In fact, it's got better than nothing, it has a bumper opium crop.
Iraq is a mess, but it wasn't heaven before. It's just different people getting killed and with better press coverage of it. What is Kerry's plan to solve it? Answering "shouldn't have gone to war in the first place" doesn't get you anywhere, because (a) we're there and (b) Kerry voted for it. Increasing international cooperation doesn't get it either--are disenchanted iraqis not going to car bomb the french as well?
Granted, the budget is a mess, which is partly Bush's fault and partly laid at the hands of Congress. But I'm not confident than where Bush said cut taxes and spend, Kerry won't say raise taxes and spend some more. In fact, he's already said he'll do both. If we're not going to have fiscal restraint either way, why vote for the new guy?
