Bush Fires Back at Most recent Kerry Iraq Flip Flop
AP ^

Posted on 09/06/2004 12:56:15 PM PDT by politicalvanguard.com

Defending the war in Iraq as "right for America," President Bush on Monday blasted back at Democrat John Kerry's criticism that Iraq was the "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Bush, in a Labor Day speech prepared for supporters in southeast Missouri, said Kerry is a politician who can't decide what he thinks and stick to it.

"After voting for the war, but against funding it, after saying he would have voted for the war even knowing everything we know today, my opponent woke up this morning with new campaign advisers and yet another new position," Bush said in prepared remarks released by his campaign.

"Suddenly he's against it again," Bush said. "No matter how many times Senator Kerry changes his mind, it was right for America and it's right for America now that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power."

I've often thought that Kerry really is kind of stupid, which is rather ironic given the whole Bush is stupid meme. How smart is it to say something like "I voted for it before I voted against it"?

Kerry is unintelligent. He refuses to release his college transcripts, and I bet there is a good reason for that.

As I tell my liberal friends, if Bush is a "moron," what does that make the opponents who keep losing to him?

And notice how there's no idealistic newspaper like those in Chicago to go judge shopping until it finds one who agrees that "the people have a right to know" and so releases Lurch's divorce records, transcripts etc. - the way was done to GOP senatorial candidate, Jim Ryan, in Illinois.

I agree but the Libs seem to cheer this new position.

Yes, the antiwar left has always been his base. The problem is that the center is looking for a strong commander in chief in a post 9/11 world.

Poor Kerry has to simultaneously adopt the position of being antiwar and being proactive in the war on terrorists.

The only way to do that is to be constantly contradicting himself, depending on who's listening.

What he's apparently too dumb to realize is that everyone is listening.

He has more positions than a Parisienne whore.

Aren't they one and the same?

Kerry has had to go back to his base just to prevent this from becoming a 45-state blowout. So he is the anti-war candidate again. It doesn't matter to him or his advisors at this point how bad it makes him look to everyone else, they have to worry about getting more than 50 percent of the Democratic vote at this point. ROFL. I eagerly await Kerry's next whine that Bush's response today is another negative personal attack on his patriotism. ROFL.

Start looking on eBay, antique & junk stores, etc for the old (I think they alsowere re-issued several years ago) for "Flip-Flop Blox".

A string of flat, colored, sqaure plastic blocks, that 'flip-flopped', reversing the color sequence, when held, and the top-most one was folded over against the one blelow it,creating a cascade of flip-flops.

These could be used even more effectively (they 'clatter' as they flip-flop) than the beach flip-flop sandles.

Real men wear (or at least wore) spit-shined black Blucher Oxfords. At least they do (or did) with with Class-A's.

Don't/didn't need to shop for them; just walk in, grab a pair in the right size, and go back to barracks.

Several times the Republicans have joked that Kerry could change positions on the Iraq War four or five more times before the election. Now Kerry is doing just that. His campaign is becoming the punchline to a joke.
