You just repeated the only arguments the RNC has against Kerry. Did you get ot off the RNC attack site? Let me respond. 1) Kerry always supported taking out Saddam, but only with a large coalition, the UN and a strong smart pot-war plan. He's been right from the start about all of that. 2) In 1972 (when Bush was going AWOL) Kerry was a Silver Star winning war hero who took the lead to organize Veterans against the war, to stop the war and save American lives. One of their most heart-wrenching demopnstrations was to give back their ribons and medals. John took part and threw a few of his ribbons over the fence, plus some othes for Vets who couldn't make it. It was a very effective event which helped bring the war to an end sooner and saved American lives. By then the Vietwar War was a hopeless morass, 10 times worse than Iraq Today. John did the right thing on both counts, fighting for his country in 1967 and demonstration against the war in 1972. 3) Kennedy and Massacusetts connections? So what? Kerry is his own man now. He is not a Kennedy surrogate. But Kennedy has endorsed him. Kerry is moving more to the center now to represent all Americans and not just the more liberal Massachusetts voters. And notice Bush embracing Kennedy lately to try and give him legitimacy on health and education issues. Kennedy is the leader on health care and education. He's also a rich man who doesn't mind paying his taxes. Frankly, the RNC has nothong on Kerry that will mean anything to anyone but their right-wing base who think we ought to still be fighting in Vietnam. But Kerry's no hypocrite. His stance on Iraq has never changed. Read it and you'll realize the "waffling" charge is nonsense.

jim, Re: and now that we have done so says it was all based on lies by the Bush admin. -- is that anything other than partisan BS? You will find, if you are honest with yourself, that all of the partisan BS seems to emanating from the White House today. Here's a sample of these master propagandists and liars in action: Voice4Change Changing Hearts and Minds voice4change.org July 12, 2003 Dear Sir, Investigate Bush's Lies The Following comes from a feature story on CBS News: Senior administration officials tell CBS News the President’s mistaken claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa was included in his State of the Union address -- despite objections from the CIA. Before the speech was delivered, the portions dealing with Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction were checked with the CIA for accuracy, reports CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin. CIA officials warned members of the President’s National Security Council staff the intelligence was not good enough to make the flat statement Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa. This may be the smoking gun we have been wating for. If this is true as many of us have believed for a long time, George Bush lied to the American people while performing his constitutional duties of informing the people and Congress "The State of the Nation". Take Action now and demand a Congressional Investigation on whether the Administration purposley lied to mislead the American as to its motives for war in Iraq. Note: CBS has changed the story, We are standing by the original CBS Story...Screen Shot truthout.org since the original aired on CBS the spin masters have been working overtime at the White House and the following article is the result. cbsnews.com; TAKE ACTION! voice4change.org Warm Regards, Voice4Change.org voice4change.org
