Kerry has been the most consistant politician I know of - here's proof

"as the possibility of war (Gulf War 1) grew closer, Kerry grew uneasy. In December of 1990, Secretary of State James Baker testified in the Senate.

James Baker: Mr. Chairman, we have to face the fact that four months into this conflict, none of our efforts have yet produced any sign of change in Saddam Hussein.

Kerry confronted Baker.

John Kerry: In your testimony today, I am disturbed because you seem to have given up on sanctions. ... I don't know anyone who doesn't say Saddam Hussein doesn't have to get out of Kuwait. ... The issue here is war at the moment that it's ripe. ... And what I fear is, that while you talk about the cost of waiting, ... the cost of one week of war may be far, far greater than the cost of several more months of exhausting the possibilities so that Americans will come together united and say,
"We did everything and now we have no other choice."

Sound familiar?
Of course this is the same Jim Baker who is as deeply involved in this imperial plot as ever.


And further:
"On the eve of the vote, Kerry stood on the Senate floor and asked, "Are we really ready for another generation of amputees, paraplegics and burn victims? ... There is a rush to war here. ... It sounds like we are risking war for pride rather than vital interests."'

The man is THE most qualified to lead us in a war situation that has divided the country - something he knows VERY intimately.

2. Everybody's a republican...
..until they lose something in their lives. Jobs, family, civil rights, or their lives as such. Kerry "saw the elephant" (no pun intended) in the jungles of Vietnam, and he wants to protect this nation from the same mistakes of that war.

8. Not really, you have to be taught at a young age to share
until then, you are "mine! mine! mine!"

Also, pulling the tail of the kitty will hurt the kitty . . .

3. Bush* says he is the most Liberal member of the Senate
How did he manage that if he flip flopped on everything? :shrug: They seem to argue against themselves.

6. If there ever was a politician more open and iron willed than
John Kerry I don't know who it would be. He has always been known for speaking his (considerable) mind without aid of polls or focus groups.
