Eleanor (Eldie) Acheson, is a member of GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered) and currently a campaign adviser and liaison for presidential candidate John Kerry to the gay community. Eldie was one of Hillary Rodham's roommates at Wellesley College and named Assistant Attorney General for Policy Development, in charge of choosing Federal judicial nominations by President Clinton.

"Democratic activists are working to ensure that the GLBT community has a visible presence both on the convention floor and within party leadership at this year's Democratic National Convention." (baywindows.com)

As a freshman senator, Kerry sponsored the first gay equal rights legislation ever introduced in that body, the Civil Rights Amendments Act of 1985, which would have outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing and credit. Kerry was one of only 14 senators who voted against the 1996 federal “defense of marriage” act, giving him a perfect Human Rights Campaign legislative score since 1995. (gaypeopleschronicle.com)

There is more information and sources on my web site dedicated to exposing Hillary.

re: Flip-Flop

Today, Kerry said he did approve of people having a pulse.

Last week, he opposed pulses.

[TRY ONE]

"That is why he is toast." Not

A Republican can say "read my lips" and be toast.

A RAT cannot be toast under any condition because of the NYT, etc!

[jveritas]

So why the Democrats are losing so many elections if they are so powerful?

It is good to know the strength of your opponent but it is not good to overrate your opponent strength to the degree where you make him invincible in your mind.

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I have to say this........

He was for homosexual marriage before he was against it.

How late am I? LOL!

Darn you FReepers are good! Great find!

This does not look like a flip-flop. The group that pushed for the amendment in 2002 wanted to ban same sex unions, not just marriage. They thought this amendment would do it.

You're right. There's no flip flop this time. What bothers me about this letter is he's taking away the right of the people of Massachusetts to vote on anything. What if they don't want homosexual unions, either?

Kerry was the one responsible for homosexual "rights"???

He started all this homosexual stuff going on in this country right now?????

If it weren't for Kerry, people wouldn't be waring in court to save marriage ?????

[VOA]

but Kerry assured us it's a "states right" issue!

[sarasota]

It just doesn't matter to Democrats. It just doesn't matter. He can flip and flop 500 times a day and they will still vote for him. It's just about getting rid of W.

[Bubbette]

Bump! Hope the Bush campaign is gathering this ammo.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

There is no difference.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

but politically, there is a difference

There isn't really a political difference either. At least not in the version Kerry advocates, one that is completely equal both locally and federally. The only value of a different name is a functional value. It will prevent chaos when different states legislate differently. The difference is in the minds of the deceivers and those they manage to fool.

"Domestic Partners" is different in that it has even been used to allow any persons living together -- even non-sexually -- to attain insurance benefits from an employed domestic partner. Non married heterosexuals can do it. Non-sexual family members can do it (at least in some cases). It that situation, the public isn't forced to "recognize" a couple solely for their immoral relationship. there is no requirement to make it equal to marriage. Of course, the term could be redefined by the left, just like marriage, and come to mean the exact same thing as marriage and civil union.

[rwfromkansas]

good point. What business does Kerry have injecting himself into a state debate?

[Che Chihuahua]

Take it easy on poor "Flipper" Kerry, he's had his eye on new "boy toy" John Edwards for years and he wants to make it permanent. He just doesn't know how to tell Tuh-ray-zuh yet.

[goldstategop]

In other words, John F*ckin' is a hypocrite on state's rights. This doesn't really surprise me - you have a guy who'll say different things to different audiences, depending on what he thinks will get him elected. Kerry and principle do not go together.

[claudiustg]

To know a Kerry position on any given issue, you must know both sides of the issue.
