Kerry wanted them to put off the war to give diplomacy a chance, but when the decision was made to go to war he supported the President. This is NOT a flip flop. This is patriotism. You fascists, of all people, should understand that. Tom

Examples of Kerry's flip flops? You haven't seen them??? Thank you. I don't have time to go over all of them but I looked closely at one example.......trade with China [seen below]. The alleged flip flopping took place over a period of 13 years. With such a long period of time, it seems to me that conditions can change; people can change. To allege flip flopping, I would have to see much greater detail before reaching such a conclusion. BTW any time you want to see some of Bush's flip flops, which only span a period of three years, I will be glad to post them. ;~) ted He flipfloped 180 degrees on trade with China In 1991, Kerry Supported Most-Favored Trade Status For China. “Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that he is breaking party ranks to support most-favored-nation trade status for China … ‘I think the president has some strong arguments about some of the assets of most-favored-nation status for China,’ Kerry said.” (John Aloysius Farrell, “Kerry Breaks Party Ranks To Back China Trade Status,” The Boston Globe, 6/15/91) In 2000, Kerry Voted In Favor Of Permanent Normal Trade Relations With China. (H.R. 4444, CQ Vote #251: Passed 83-15: R 46-8; D 37-7, 9/19/00, Kerry Voted Yea) Now Kerry Criticizes The Bush Administration For Trading With China. “Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said on Monday Americans workers were paying the price for President Bush's weak stance on trade with China and other countries. … On the bus tour, Kerry singled out the Bush administration's handling of trade with China and said that country was manipulating its currency.” (Caren Bohan, "Kerry Pledges Aggressive Trade Stance," Reuters, 4/26/04)
