Although I've been quiet for awhile, I decided that with a month left before the election, it's time to unload on my republican family member via email to maybe, just maybe break through. Post below is his response to something I sent earlier in the day. I was utterly baffled at the lack of logic or sense in his reply.
Question. Just what is John Kerry plan for Iraq? Whenever he is asked he
never answers directly and simply states he has a better plan and lists a
series of platitudes. Bottom line, Kerry lacks the courage to make the
tough decision in a war. He is unwilling to make a decision that would lead
to U.S. taking casualties, even if it is absolutely necessary. After a
Kerry presidency, Iran will develop a nuclear weapon program and very well
may use them considering various comments made by leaders in Iran. Kerry is
the wrong leader at the wrong time during the wrong war.
