Two wars, two Kerrys

Thirteen years ago, Walter Carter, of Newton, Mass., wrote to his senator and asked him to support military action to expel Saddam Hussein's troops from Iraq. As a vote neared, Carter faxed his letter to the office of John Kerry and, just to be sure, sent it along by regular mail as well.

My favorite quote from a wishy-washy journalist:

John Kerry, a man inclined to split irreconcilable differences, leaving voters confused and Republicans ready to pull out the blunt instrument of his own record and beat him with it.

I'd perfer the beating be done with a two by four, but his legislation and voting record will do.

"his later heroism in working to end the war"

Hold it! That is utter BS and cannot go unchallenged.

Kerry's heroism in Vietnam, and his later heroism in working to end the war, once spoke to his best side.

Kerry's "heroic" work to end the war consisted largely of false claims that the American military intentionally murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians.

"The other party's nomination battle is still playing out," Bush said. "The candidates are an interesting group with diverse opinions: for tax cuts and against them; for Nafta and against Nafta; for the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act; in favor of liberating Iraq and opposed to it.

"And that's just one senator from Massachusetts."

Maybe this will explain it ?? ...

Earlier, Connelly wrote, when Yarrow sang “Puff the Magic Dragon”
at an event in a private home in Ames, Iowa, “Kerry lifted his
fingers to his mouth for a quick toke on an imaginary joint.
You can almost see his thick mane of silver hair returning to the
shaggy brown do of those days.”

No rocket science here....liberal democrat mode of operations:

If the president is a DEMOCRAT, support war.

If the president is a REPUBLICAN, oppose war.


....it is the DASCHLE DOCTRINE.

Good thing this guy wasn't invited or Yarrow might have lost his guitar, his hash and his main squeeze.

I have been meaning to mention something about this general subject ( Mr Kerry's highly variable and contradictory positions ) to jm... not that he probably hasn't thought of it before.

It seems to me you could make a video of John Kerry arguing with, or debating, himself on various issues.

Here's yet another one (on Haiti):

"I think you've got to be real and threatening," he said. His message to the rebels, he said, would be: "You're not going to take over, you're not kicking him out, this democracy is going to be sustained, we're willing to put in a new government, new prime minister, we're willing to work with you, but you're not going to succeed in your goal of exiling" Mr. Aristide. "And unless that's clear, you can't necessarily stop it in its tracks."

???????????????

Well, I don't know about that, but jm has certainly produced some pointed and biting ads- they are probably a little too hard-edged for the RNC to use, but I can't see why we can't pass them on, give to friends, etc.

The upcoming election is going to be nasty beyond belief- I fully expect both the news and entertainment arms of the Jackal Pack Media to try to create a Clinton II, whoever the 'rats finally pick. Someone they can promote, claim, and cover-up for, just like they did for Little Big Fraud in 1992.
