My main concern in the next presidential election is national security. I am interested in hearing what the two Johns will have to say in this respect in the months to come. So far Senator Kerry strikes me as the teacher who is trying to be buddies with his students yet still wants respect. It just isn't working for me and I am certain it won't work in the eyes of other nations.
Whether you agree with Pres Bush or not, he takes a stand and sticks to it. Kerry does not. David Letterman touched on what I am trying to get at with his Top Ten list a couple of nights ago. It was the Top Ten things overheard during Saddam's hearing. One of them was something to the effect of "It doesn't matter since I will be out as soon as Kerry takes over." I think this joke is based off from a very real perception.
If "President Kerry" becomes a reality, I sure hope my fears are proven unfounded.
