Is this "evidence" that Kerry is lying about his war record coming from Bush's campaign? You know all this stuff is surfacing now because this is when election time is, and politics is a dirty game. Now, really, I don't think Kerry is the absolute best person for the job, but I don't think he's terrible either, simply because I've not seen what he can do. All these claims that he is going to fail as president is really just speculation, because we have no earthly idea what he can or can not do as president. We've never seen the man in action.

Now, as for the fact that he "flip-flops." Yes, he changed his mind about certain things, but the guy has been in politics for a long time. If he hadn't changed his views on some issues after learning all the stuff he has learned, then there would have certainly been something wrong. Think about it like this. A married couple, the average American man and woman, get married and vow to be together forever. More than likely, they will be divorced in the future. They have changed their minds based on something that they learned. Calling Kerry a flip-flop is accusing him of conceptually the same thing. Now, as for the Iraq war, perhaps he supported it in the beginning because of the fallacies that Bush has been feeding everyone. Once he learned the truth, he changed his views on it. Now, I don't know how much truth there is in that statement, if any, but it's a possbility. My point is that people do change their minds. It's not a crime.

And I do agree with you. Bush is infinitely worse. He's an idiot. He made a bigot Attorney General; a guy who couldn't win a spot as senator while running against a dead guy. You really want these people in power?
