Sometimes people post things that are contentious or ask hard questions in here. It can be just too scary out in DU general threads to do so. It doesn't mean anyone has changed their minds, it means they feel safe enough and respect the other posters in here enough to voice a strong opinion.
It also indicates a level of strong support of Kerry. He has raised some expectations and has engendered respect from the folks in here. Well, it only makes sense then to go to the next conclusion: if you like and respect the guy and you think he's 'wicked smaht' about policy, then what does he think about this particular subject that has been on my mind. (And we should discuss other Dem. Politics is not really an individual sport, it is a team thing. I love contrast and compare threads. They can be highly entertaining and educational.)
I'm not afraid to ask hard questions, in fact, Mr. K asked people to ask hard questions of their elected Reps. That's the two-way street of democracy, or it's supposed to be anyway. (If anyone would enjoy a nice back-and-forth conversation that hits all the points of an argument and a counter-argument, I should think it be Kerry, the champion debater. Lol!) Dissent doesn't mean dislike or disloyal or a sudden switch in tactics. It means a person has a question and feels safe enough and respected enough to ask it. That's all.
