The 1990's were a confusing decade. The certainties of the cold war were gone and new threats appeared. It fell to one man, John Kerry, the Human Nebula, to bring fog out of the darkness, opacity out of the confusion, bewilderment out of the void.
...
For you see, Kerry continued, "Again and again and again in the debate, it was made clear that the vote of the U.S. Senate and the House on the authorization of immediate use of force on Jan. 12 was not a vote as to whether or not force should be used."
...
Kerry has made clear that if he is elected president, the nation will never face a caveat shortage. He has established the foragainst method, which has enabled him to be foragainst the war in Iraq, foragainst the Patriot Act and foragainst No Child Left Behind. If you decide to vote for him this year, there would be a correctness in that judgment, but if you decide to vote for George Bush, that would also be correct.
Says it well.

Steve, I have yet to figure your politics out -- your postitions sound Tory, but you support Blair's War (Actually, Bush's War that Blair foolishly signed on to). For the record, the person that's an inappropriate leader for a great nation is "cowboy" GW Bush -- and that's how the polls say the majority of your countrymen (to say nothing of the vast majority of the world's pupulation) feel.

Me too, James. I didn't care for Carter as a President, but he was and still is an honest man, 180 degrees from flip-flop "Hanoi John".
At least they don't try to appear to be anything besides what they are politically and although universally wrong in their politics they don't change day to day and audience by audience.
