Resolve is the New Ignorance

Amazingly, every poll that I have read about last night's debate has Kerry having decisively won it, with most margins in the 60/40 range.

Yet, in early electoral polls the only change was the Kerry helped shore up his base. In other words, last night Kerry helped win what he already won. While it's a step in the right direction for Kerry, it frightens me that after last night's display minds were not changed.

The biggest argument against Kerry has been his 'indecisiveness.' This is the weapon of mass distraction that gets thrown around by the Republican Party as proof of why Kerry would make an inadequate Commander-in-Chief. Problem is, even if you ask any informed Republican, this is completely a BS argument. The whole flip-flop argument is based on the notion that once a decision is made we should never go back on it. For instance, initially we were not going to enter WWII, as it did not concern us. So by that logic, we should never have let the new information that about 6 million people were being killed, or a little thing like Pearl harbor change our mind. You might say that my logic is narrow minded, BUT THAT'S THE POINT!!! Changing your mind based on new information should be encouraged, not shunned.

Unfortunately, the base for Bush's support is not interested in making informed decisions. They apparently share Bush's 'Resolve,' which apparently is Republican slang for 'Ignorance.'
