I understand that point, however what I'm getting at is that there's no reason why Kerry applies more to this story than any of the other number of presidential candidates. He's not the *only* one that cares about the Bill of Rights.

I hate to nitpick but how is voting against someone exactly against the spirit of voting
I mean, if you think one man in office is doing a bad job, and you vote for the other candidate, you are still voting against someone (in this case, the incumbent)
Choosing one is voting against the other
Now rerail !

When I say "voting against someone" I say it to mean voting for someone not primarily because you agree with that person but because you disagree with their opponent. It's a frequent side-effect of narrow-minded 2 party voting. Many people will vote for Kerry in this election simply because he is "not Bush." That, in my opinion, is inherently wrong. A vote is supposed to show support for someone, not that you don't dislike them as much as the other guy.
