Your cheap bullshit arguments are beneath you Larry. This is the kind of crap arguments I'd expect from Ty.

I strongly disagree. My post was indeed cheap and bullshit, but it wasn't an argument. Now that you have clarified your question you'll get your argument, sonny.
I am displeased with how we went to war and the self-inflicted difficulties we have had in reconstructing Iraq because of the fact that it made us only marginally safer, and certainly not to the level of American lives, political capital, and taxpayer dollars spent in the process. I am voting for Kerry because I find the current admin's overwhelming focus on state sponsors of terror to be hugely misguided and I don't want these mistakes repeated on a wider scale in the future.
By the way, you're the one playing lawyer tricks here, but they're not so clever. What Kerry said last week was not that he supported all that we did in Iraq aside from alienating the French. What he said was that if presented with the resolution he was presented with back in October of '02 he would vote the same way again. That prior vote doesn't make him jointly liable with the admin for what was done with the authority given to the Prez, no matter how much you apparently need to have Kerry share the blame for the stumbles of your bumbling heroes in the GOP.
