Sen. John Kerry joined most of his Democratic colleagues last week in voting to build a wall along 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border.

But he now says that after the wall is built it should be taken down as soon as possible.

"I voted for it," Kerry acknowledged Friday while speaking to the New England Council breakfast.

But in quotes picked up by the Boston Herald, the Massachusetts Democrat added: "If I were making the long-term decision, I’d announce, you know, hopefully it’s a temporary measure, and we can take it down as soon as we have enough people" to guard the border.

Kerry said beefing up the number of border patrol agents "should be America’s goal, absolutely and positively." He noted that he'd introduced an amendment to the Senate border bill that would add 3,000 new officers.

"But in the temporary," he said, "we’ve got to have a comprehensive approach everywhere," adding that, "in the short term, I think [the wall] can serve us well."

This bloke is a total bloody goose!

This does have a familiar ring to it.

The guy is a 100% blowhard flip-flopper. When commenting about the flooding here recently he had the same pompous tone. It's everyone's fault but mine.

"hopefully it’s a temporary measure, and we can take it down as soon as we have enough people"



i.e. after he's let in enough illegals to tip the elections to the Dems, he'll shut the door.

He voted for it before he voted against it.

His wife is African American don'tcha know and she hated this country before she loved it. Might have been the rasins talking, it's hard to tell.

"I voted for it but I don't think we really need it." French Boy as usual, tries to have it both ways.

(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")

Me thinks Kerry is a prime case of the internet exposing an individual's stupidity.   These buffoons can run, but they can no longer hide.

John Kerry is actually two liberals that they failed to seperate at birth.

If you recall my Cousin under the Southern Star we had unkind names for him along with images, but your description is just too apt, he is a total bloody goose.

[Farmer Dean]

John Kerry,patron saint of the hopelessly confused.

[MAexile]

What a shocker! My former Senator voted for something he denies supporting when questioned about it.

Next thing you know he'll vote against a gay marriage ban and then say he doesn't support gay marriage. Oh wait, that already happened. (DOMA, 1995)

[sgtbono2002]

He is a friggin idiot is what he is.

[Westlander]

Someone needs to post the pix of Terezzza holding the brews.
Me thinks she's the backbone of Jf'nK.

[SandRat]

Now you're insulting idiots and that's not nice.

[Rapscallion]

John Kerry - What a drip.

[Blackirish]

He wants to spend a ton of money to buid a fence wait till it is working and then spend a ton of money to tear it down.

WTF????

[hershey]

I feel so comforted, knowing my junior senator has things well in hand.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I liked what Rudy Giuliani said of Kerry at the Republican Convention in '04: Something to the effect of: "This explains the need for John Edwards' two Americas--one where John Kerry can vote for something, and another where he can vote against it."

[Aussie Dasher]

And we know what your senior Senator invariably has in his hand...
