Kerry-isms

This is an excellent article and it should be read in its entirety:

I believe MortfromNewYawk posted it elsewhere.  I still say that I'm glad that if we're considering battle, as a people, it requires a consent of the Congress.  But Kerry has not shown a fitness for that aspect of the Presidency.  Not sure what to make of it yet, but I find this sentence particularly impressive,
"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

--John Kerry, logician extraordinaire

The great thing about John Kerry is he's been around so long, he can put together a selective voting history to demonstrate that he's for or against pretty much anything.

In San Francisco, he can be pro-gay marriage.
In Sarasota, he can be anti-civil union.

In Eugene OR, he can be anti-Iraq War.
In Phoenix (home to the nation's largest Chaldean community) he can be pro-Iraq War.

In Milwaukee, he can be an economic protectionist.
For weathly corporate donors, he can be pro-free trade.

In Downtown Chicago, he can support massive tax hikes for the wealthy.
In Highland Park, he can support tax relief.

What an ideal candidate!

sounds like you're describing their 2000 candidate pretty well too.
