I will for ever after associate the name Kerry with a flip-flop.
First, he was pro-war and wanted a JFK-esque rep. to parlay into the next Camelot.
We he got to combat, his cowardice was widely recognized. Knowing this and seeing a political opportunity in the anti-war Vietnam fools, he suddenly became anti-war. It worked to get him elected, and he even managed to cleverly keeo HIS bogus medals around for future use.
Then, when he sensed that America would never make him President with the incredible treason in his past, the next makeover began. Slick Willy and his buddy Lehman helped wash and hide Kerry's service record and 'polish' his commendations.
Then, PRESTO! In the 2004 campaign he's Lt. Kerry and reporting for duty, 'war buddies' in tow. Regime change in Iraq! The US MUST use force to remove Saddam! American didn't buy Flipper, thanks to the Swifties.
But wait, when anti-war Dean kicked his ass, suddenly Kerry 'voted against it'!! I'm Hanoi John and I INVENTED anti-war Jack, oh, and Bush lied! Now I'm starting to get dizzy...
Oh, but wait! The backlash against the anti-war pukes is considerable, so Kerry 'supports the troops'!
And now, of course, he's getting desperate and decided to get back to his fundamentals. Treason worked to get Kerry elected once, let's break out the 'baby killers' rhetoric and let the games begin!
Hanoi John "Flipper" Kerry, what a loser of a legacy.
Mark Simone of WABC radio in New York, has the best sound bytes of Kerry flip flopping all over the board. It's hysterical. Go to marksimone.com and click the link. Great stuff.
