Can't you read? It takes courage for any young man to sit before a Congressional Committee and be questioned. Bush can't even do it alone without Cheney by his side for the 9/11 investigation and he is the Pres of the US. That fact alone is enough to illustrate Bush's weakness. Bush is weak. Orca

SIt back and think a minute. How many times have you stood up before a room full of people and answered questions under hostile conditions? How easy is it? As a young man Kerry did this alone..........about a subject matter that was volatile at the time. He believed strongly about what he was saying because he had been a soldier and had fought there. He recognized how important it was for Vietnam vets to stand up against the war in order to stop the carnage and maybe he was partially responsible for saving the lives of an additional 50,000 soldiers that might have been lost. Kerry hasn't flip-flopped on any votes..............you chose to believe the Bush ads. Many Bills presented in Congress have riders attached that will force member sof various parties to vote against the bills. Example: the welfare reform bill was passed by the Gingrich Congress and placed on CLinton's desk to sign. It had a anti-abortion rider attached to it so Clinton vetoed it............Gingrich screamed that Clinton was supporting welfare and didn't want reform..............it's called politics and that game is played all the time. Same thing is happening with Kerry's votes. Kerry's defense votes have been taken out of context to look like he's weak on defense, but in actuality he has also voted FOR all those programs in different bills including the biggest defense bill of all time. His intelligence vote Cheney himself agreed with. GOP senators like Alabama's Shelby also voted the same way as Kerry in each case. The only actual programs Kerry opposed were the MX Missile and more B2 bombers. Both were Cold War boondoggles which were hugely expensive. Both programs the GOP also eventually joined in cutting.
