BS. Kerry has fought some very tough fights in his way against powerful special interests. His very protesting of the war made him very powerful enemies which resonates to this day. O'Neill after all was Nixon and Colson's chosen hitman to take out Kerry in 1971, but he failed.
Kerry has gone up against the Viet Cong, the Nixon White House, the BCCI Bank (including some top democrats), Iran-Contra and the CIA (versus the DEA which Kerry was fighting for), Reagan at his most popular, polluters, Big Oil, some unions, big-spending liberals, those oposed to normalizing Vietnam relations, Detroit automakers, drug companies, HMO's, etc. Any one of those special interests could have destroyed him. All that took courage.
it is Bush who is flip-flopping, every four years at least he changes himself from a neocon righrwingers into a compassionate moderate. Just look at the charade which is this week's convention. Putting on speakers who disagree completely with him on every issue but Iraq. mcCain has fought harder against Bush than anyone in the past four years but since Bush needs to him win he kowtows to him and pretends they're friends. for the ultimate flip-flop watch Bush finally admit global warming is real, pretending to go up against his polluter backers. Amazing. |
