Kerry-isms

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

"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!

Here's one from an interview John Kerry did with the Humane society that I found on the NRO blog:

HUMANE SOCIETY: "Do you have any pets that have made an impact on you personally?"

KERRY: "When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC..."

Does this man ever stop talking about Vietnam?

It was a question about a frigging pet and he managed to mention his Vietnam service.  What a louse!

Reminds me of Walter (John Goodman) in The Big Lebowski. "Smokey, your were over the line!  This is bowling.  This isn't 'Nam.  Here, there are rules..."

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

Bush flip-flops as well, but at least I *know* where he stands on the single most important issue for me: national security.  I have no idea what to expect from Kerry.

It's not the question of a lesser of two evils.  It's the adage that the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
