I have a HUGE problem with a politician, like Kerry, who can take a strong position one day then change the next out of political expediency. Well I have HUGE problems with that type of person/politician as well. However, the main reason that Kerry is viewed that way (as far as I know) is that the Bush campaign says he is. I trust George about as far as Cheney can throw him. George hasn't been known to tell the truth recently. If there are 4 times per year in the past 15 years where Kerry takes strong views and changes his mind the next month, please list them or show me the link. And I don't mean GOP spin as I've discussed earlier, but real changes of position. I don't have that list, the GOP hasn't given much beyond spin, so I don't assume the spin is correct. If Kerry has one of the most liberal voting record of the Senate over the past 15 years that tells me he DOESN'T change his mind. So I'll go with that until some HARD evidence to the contrary (not GOP spin) shows otherwise. Please share with me your research that leads you to believe Kerry takes stong hard positions, and changes them 8 weeks later for political benefit. Elroy

I have a HUGE problem with a politician, like Kerry, who can take a strong position one day then change the next out of political expediency. And it may not have been out of political expediency, but what about George being vehemently against nation building upon election, and then being vehemently in favor of it in defanged Iraq, but (evidently) not vehemently in favor of it in supposed ally, major terror funder Saudi Arabia? Does that change of view cause you HUGE problems with George, or not? Elroy
