Reply #48: Clinton did not demagogue Sister Souljah [View All]

[bigtree]

Sen. Kerry is known for standing up for what he believes is right. He had political courage when he began his public career, and he has maintained that courage regardless of whether he sided with the majority or not on any particular bill or initiative. Political courage does not involve agreeing with every nuance of an issue in its ultimate defense. Courage involves maintaining your principles while at the same time striving for compromise and reconciliation. These issues will evolve in that atmosphere of compromise. All sides will be challenged to maintain their principles as we move to protect rights and privileges.
