I’m responding to a letter endorsing Sen. Ed Markey and basically shaming Joe Kennedy for having the audacity to run against a warhorse for the party.

For me when it really counted and the U.S. embarked on another Vietnam, Markey voted to invade Iraq. The worst foreign policy decision of this century. A war that killed hundred of thousand people and left us with countless damaged veterans that will be with us for years. That is too much of a failure of judgement and courage for me to forgive.

I’m voting for Kennedy.
