Membranophonist’s Ramblings

Kerry is intellectually and ideologically equipped to succeed where Bush has failed. The obvious prospects for that success lie in his military, congressional and international experience, his superior intellectual curiosity and willingness to consider dissenting opinions, his commitment to protecting the civil liberties of all Americans and his potential to surround himself with a broad coalition of competent Cabinet members, staff and advisers.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer’s endorsement of John Kerry for President

The importance of the Cabinet should not be underestimated and is one of the primary reasons I so strongly oppose the Bush administration. It’s not just the simple minded, intellectually lazy George W. Bush — it’s also the ideologically blinded Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, the mendacious Dick Cheney, and the Constitutionally challenged John Ashcroft. I want the whole gang out.
