What is he going to get us into that's going to equal the military and policy and economic quagmire equivalent to Iraq?
Unless he's willing to attack Iran or NK, hopefully nothing.
What social disaster is going to heave on us like supporting banning gay marriage and attacking Seperation between Church and State?
IAs far as what Kerry may do, his BS statements on firearms and the AWB have me a little concerned, but I'll wait and see if Kerry pulls a Clinton*.

*In 1992 Candidate Clinton took some good positions on trade, China, NAFTA, etc.

President Clinton wound up doing the exact opposite of what Candidate Clinton promised on those issues.

My point is that Kerry seems to be just as incompetent as GWB is in regards to administration if his campaign is any guide. He may or may not be as malevolent as Bush (depending upon your POV), but he isn't proving himself much more competent.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Kerry, if only for the hope that he can try and repair America's relations with our allies. Bush's foreign policy has been an utter disaster, and I have no illusions of the situation improving if he gets elected again.
