Questioning Kerry
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 08:27 PM by unfrigginreal
I wonder why Senator John Kerry is getting so much support these days as he begins his run for the presidency. I think people are just glad that the Democratic party has a voice, but I wouldn't be so quick to jump on Kerry's bandwagon. While he may seem liberal, I think he is liberal only when it suits his political goals. He voted against the first Gulf War but seems to have changed his tune on Saddam this time around by voting to relinquish the authority to wage war that congress is supposed to have in favor of letting Bush run wild. He also voted for the Homeland Security Act, which 40% of Americans feel won't have an effect on safety. Let's not forget about Total Information Awareness. Kerry may say all the right words to gain Democrat support, but he still wouldn't do anything as politically risky as voting against this upcoming war with Iraq. So he can mumble all he wants about how badly the president is handling the situation, but Kerry didn't do much to change anything.

Looks like somebody else is on to Kerry's wishy washy(ness).

I thought I had an original meme here. Well deserved I might add.

3. Kerry.
Hmmm.. yeah, but I think that any of the dems (even Sharpton) are worthy opponents to Bush, the Skull and Bones will have nothing to do with it, my godfather is a member of it and he says most of the conspiracy stuff is nonsense. Just cuz Kerry supported the war doesn't mean he's a hawk. but anyways...
