So name one thing Kerry has flip-flopped on.

If you had watched what Kerry said on Meet the Press toward regarding that misleading Bush ad where Kerry is portrayed as saying "I actually voted for it before I voted against it", you would have stopped believing the right wing propaganda.

When the appropriations bill to fund the 87 billion from taxes breaks for the rich did not pass, then Kerry protected the middle class from being burdened and went and voted against 87 billion. I see nothing wrong with protecting the interests of the middle class and if folks like you and the Bushies interpret that as a flip flop, then that is what the reason is for Bushies taking the country down the steep precipice. Their inability to analyze things correctly is the sole cause for us being in the mess we are in today. Else we would not have had Paul Bremmer finally agreeing that Iraq is in a mess, a quagmire. Bush is finally eating crow and having to do what he said he would never do which is Blink, blink... involve the UN

Bremer: Iraqis unprepared to run security

Updated: 7:26 p.m. ET April 18, 2004BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi security forces will not be ready to protect the country against insurgents by the June 30 handover of power, the top U.S. administrator said Sunday — an assessment aimed at defending the continued heavy presence of U.S. troops here even after an Iraqi government takes over.

The unusually blunt comments from L. Paul Bremer came amid a weekend of new fighting that pushed the death toll for U.S. troops in April to 99, already the record for a single-month in Iraq and approaching the number killed during the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein last year.
