One thing that is also very important to emphasize is the way Kaptain Ketchup takes both sides of an issue.

Example: War On Terrorism. Kerry voted for the use of military force, but voted against funding the operations. That way he can tell the main body of Americans how he voted for combating terrorism. But, he can still go tell his leftist friends how he voted to scuttle the actual military operation.

Example: Gay Marriage. Within the last two years, he wrote a letter supporting gay marriage. Now, that he is campaigning for President, he is telling people that he is opposed to gay marriage.

The list goes on, and on, and on...

The real question is what is Kerry's real position? Personally, I believe that everything Kaptain Ketchup does is completely self-serving, and he has absolutely no integrity.

Kerry was a delegate to the Kyoto Climate Talks in 1997. Could that have been when he 'voted' for the Treaty?


Go here: Presidential Hopefuls Push Energy Alternatives, Pan Kyoto

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0610-01.htm



Excerpt:
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, a delegate to the Earth Summit in 1992 and the Kyoto climate talks in 1997, has also argued that developing countries be held to Kyoto.

He co-sponsored a State Department bill amendment that directed the Bush administration to work toward revising the treaty by promoting shared international responsibility of all major world powers to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Any idea of the number of times Kerry was AWOL on votes in the Senate? In other words, how many times did Kerry NOT vote?

It would be nice to hang the AWOL label around Kerry's neck.

I heard on the radio this morning a clip of Edwards last night (assume to his supporters).

He commented to the effect about "Objects in this mirror are closer than they may appear!"

haha !

Excellent question I hope the RNC is researching for its 'counter-attack' on 'Hari Kerry'.

Supported Communist Sandinistas and
visited with leader Communist Daniel Ortega
days before Ortega flew to Moscow and
received $200 million in Soviet aid.

Daniel Ortega serially abused his daughter from the age of eleven,
bolstering Kerry's rating with Americans for Pedophilia.

Egads.
Kerry and Ortega, that's worse than the 'Noriega' card the left plays once in awhile.

Thanks, this uber liberal for some reason has been under the radar re his ultra liberalism.

Data like this should scare any conservative and that includes the pseudo true conservatives who haunt Free Republic.
