Z, Kerry was for giving Bush the mandate to go to war, though not as readily as Bush did it, and then when he found out he'd been duped as to how we were going to pay for it, voted against the funding as a matter of principle, since he knew it was going to pass anyway.

That hardly makes for a strong stance one way or the other. For war but against funding? Voting one way or another as a "matter of principle," knowing something was going to pass anyway?

There is no conviction behind any of his votes, except his desire to stick his finger up in the air to figure out which way the wind is blowing. It doesn't really matter to the left, though, because they have already decided that Bush has to go, and they know (or hope) that Kerry is more anti-war than he is pretending to be.
