"...GRAND CANYON, Ariz. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said on Monday he would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing force against Iraq even if he had known then no weapons of mass destruction would be found.

Taking up a challenge from President Bush, whom he will face in the Nov. 2 election, the Massachusetts senator said: "I'll answer it directly. Yes, I would have voted for the authority..."

Kerry, is that your final answer?!!

ROFL!!!

I'm afraid that's a little bit nuanced for us simple folk to fully understand though.

[frankiep]

btw, doesn't anyone find it extremely horrifying that over 58 million people voted for that jackass?

Damn those pesky little facts that always seem to get in the way of Liberal Reality!

Flip. I think.

A lot of the stuff I've sent to Brit Hume at Fox News has made it on. I'm not saying it was because of me, but probably several people sending the same thing.

That's the point! Kerry said just a year ago he would have sent troops even if there weren't WMDs.

Completely contradicts what he's saying now, which isn't new for Kerry.

Yeah... and the same guy who negotiated with the Viet Cong in Paris. The same guy who voted FOR the war... while voting AGAINST its funding.

There are fungi with more intelligence/worth than this pathetic, joke of a man.

Completely contradicts what he's saying now, which isn't new for Kerry. Can we match this 2004 statement with some of Kerry's gems of the last week or two? Anyone have the perfect Kerry quote to match this one with?

Millions of voters are totally uninformed - people who haven't read a book in 25 years, who get all their "facts" from TV or the local English version of Pravda. Millions who could not tell you what WW II was all about, or the facts about Hitler and Stalin, if their lives depended on it. Millions who don't even understand how our government or economy works. All a "tribute" to the public education system, the teachers' unions, and professors who are so smart that they're stuck on stupid. The business of education at all levels should NOT be run by government, but by private education companies.
