Kerry Caught in Whopper Trying to Get the Cuban Vote

John Kerry doesn't just flip-flop in his desperate attempt to be all things to all voters; he even makes things up. In an article Sunday in the Miami Herald that an alert reader just sent us, the soft-on-communism Washington waffler, pandering for the prized Cuban-American vote in crucial Florida, claimed: "I'm pretty tough on Castro, because I think he's running one of the last vestiges of a Stalinist secret police government in the world."
The Herald reported:
"Then, reaching back eight years to one of the more significant efforts to toughen sanctions on the communist island, Kerry volunteered: 'And I voted for the Helms-Burton legislation to be tough on companies that deal with him.' ...
"There is only one problem: Kerry voted against it," the newspaper noted.
And remember little Elian Gonzalez? Kerry wants your vote no matter what you think about how Bill Clinton, Janet Reno and company sent the poor boy back to Fidel Castro's tropical gulag.
"I didn't agree with that," the Massachusetts Democrat insisted.
The Herald reported: "But when he was asked to elaborate, Kerry acknowledged that he agreed the boy should have been with his father.
"So what didn't he agree with?" the paper wondered.
Here's all that Kerry could stammer: "I didn't like the way they did it. I thought the process was butchered."
Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings predicted that Kerry's record on Cuba would "haunt" him.
President Bush's campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, told the Herald, "Kerry is much softer on Castro than Al Gore was."
Perhaps the vicious dictator is one of the "foreign leaders" that Kerry claims secretly support him.

All of the waffling could get pretty funny the closer we get to November.
Kerry needs to pick up a few hundred gallons of syrup to eat with the waffles...

Ugh. I am sick of all of the candidates from both of the major parties kowtowing to the Cuban expats in Florida.
We should lift the embargo, and allow American companies to have trade relations with Cuba.
We also have a discriminatory immigration policy. If you are Haitian and come here, you get sent back. If you are Cuban, well, bienvenido a Miami!

It's just so much easier telling the truth all the time, lies always comeback to haunt you.

I love the Kerry technique. As he did with Iraq, he can be "for" something, but also oppose it because they didn't do it right. He's got all his bases covered.

He flip flops because the media lets him get away with it.

How would you feel if your face caught on fire and somebody put it out with a bush-axe?

Can Kerry play this game?
