Thanks for the answers guys.

So the real issue with Kerry then is that he fails to make a stand and appears to change his opinions on important topics depending on how the political winds are blowing?

However I would have thought alligning himself with the peace movement after he served two tours of duty in Veitnam would demonstrate that he does (or at least did) stick up for what he believes in. Surely that shows he can take a stand?
I guess for his "flip-flopping" on Iraq he could claim he was voting on the same crappy intelligence that Bush had rather than the pitiful excuse for war which anyone with a memory and some common sense could tell was a pack of lies (WMDs and threat to world) (I've got to stop throwing in little digs like this I know but I can't help it! Just irresistable to me.). Now that the truth has come out (and it's not political suicide to do so) he has changed his mind on the issue. I find that more admirable than senselessly sticking to your guns when your what you're trying to do is not working.

Just to let you know, I don't support Kerry. I think the guy's a bit of a smartarse to be frank. It's just that a lot of the criticism against him doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.

Americans may not agree with the war, but they certainly don't agree with the idea that France, Russia and China should have the right to dictate American policy to us.
Unrelated to this Kerry thing, if you reverse the order of the countries in this sentance (i.e exchange Russia, China and France with America) it would go a long way to explaining why so many people in France, Russia and China dispise the US.

Because, of course, he should have worn a dress suit in the plane instead of a flight suit.
ROFL! You must be the only person in the world who believes Bush is wearing that costume for utilitarian purposes!
BTW - Anyone else here think they put a sock in his undies "We are Spinal Tap" style?
