For your consumption and comments. Everything in here accurately reflects statements Kerry has made or things that Kerry has done.

I just find it amazing how Kerry so easily abandons one position for another. People’s values and beliefs just don’t change like that repeatedly. Kerry obviously had deeply held anti-war beliefs. But Kerry faced a dilemma in the Iraqi War Resolution vote. Kerry knew his anti-war protesting of the past would haunt him running for president, so does he try to present himself as hawkish and strong, or does he go with his beliefs against war. As a Senator, Kerry was in a position of significant power to make a difference on whether the US goes to war or not. Instead he abandoned his beliefs to what he thought would help him get elected President. But something happened during the race, Howard Dean came along and showed you had to be an anti-war candidate to get nominated. So poor Kerry had to switch gears and go back to being anti-war. Amazingly, Kerry’s speech on the floor of the Senate supporting the war was probably the best and the more hawkish speech given defending actions in Iraq.

What a wonderful TV ad that would be with sound bites of him actually making the statements.

Yeah, it would be effective if the right clips could be found.

I agree, especially if a series of ads was produced and a new ad was released every few days.

That would create a sense of anticipation and also have a dripping water effect.

Look at these two quotes, and they are actually quotes not changed in any way:

Candidate Kerry: "It (the war) has created a terrorist presence in Iraq where none previously existed– and made Iraq a recruiting poster for terrorists of the future.

Senator Kerry: "He (Saddam) has supported and harbored terrorist groups, particularly radical Palestinian groups such as Abu Nidal, and he has given money to families of suicide murderers in Israel.”

LOL!

Your thought of letting them scream unanswered for a week and then
just hit them again, and again, and again puts it nicely. Thanks.

This is wonderful! I wish I had a ping list and some time to play with this. I have to go do things. Just damn!

Kerry provides so much material, and he argues with such strong rhetoric on both sides of each debate. He basically calls himself a bigot for opposing gay marriage. And I actually wish Bush laid out the case for war as strong as Kerry did, which Kerry now opposes. We will see how long Mr. Two-face gets away with it.
