Reply #42: I think looking forward not backward is the answer

Okay, I'm not posting in GD and GD-P, so I don't know if I really have the right to weigh in. But here's a maybe controversial idea: Kerry isn't running for president and there is no need anymore to defend his positions and decisions from the 2004 campaign. The attacks are still mostly about that, right? (IWR vote, Swiftboats, concession blablabla etc.) I understand your urge to set the record straight but it doesn't really make much sense right now IMO. Those here who want to support Kerry in a positive way with SetADeadline shouldn't engage in arguments about presidential candidates and shouldn't answer attacks on Kerry, the candidate. That was yesterday. It's history. What Kerry is doing now was his decision. He isn't attacking other Democrats. He is hitting hard on the Bush admin and people like McCain who support the troop surge. We should do the same. What do you think?
