I'm curious about John Kerry...

As we all know Kerry voted for the Iraq War, supporting the use force in Iraq. As we also know over 500 young Americans have lost their lives because of this vote. How will Kerry explain his vote to the families and friends of those that lost someone they loved? How can he explain his flip flop?

In addition to that I am interested in how Kerry will face the American people and explain to us why he decided to give our rights to John Ashcroft.

This man boggles my mind. I have no clue where he stands on any issue, because he's constantly changing his position in accordance to the polls. One day he's for the Iraq War, the next day he isn't, the following week he's for the Iraq War again. So I'm just wondering if anyone from the Kerry campaign is out there, and willing to explain WHERE John Kerry stands on the issues and why he's constantly changed his position? I want a leader not a follower for my President.

it's only 500 people. Of course what we can do to call him on his pathetic vote is vote against him. Don't let him become the nominee.


But of course, vote for him if he is the nominee.

Why the heck do I HAVE to vote for Kerry? I hate Bush, but what will Kerry do when he doesn't have someone else to copy anymore? Can you say Rock in the Water?

Is that what he's telling everyone who has a problem with his IWR vote? "Oh, get over it! It's just 500 people!"

Do we give up against Bush??? No way. Do we give up against everything we believe in ??????


Shessh.. someone raises an UNANSWERED question and because no one is willing or even capable in answering it we should give it up!? I know your probably in the same boat as us NNN, but never... NEVER give up. We can not let someone be the president who does nothing but copy from other candidates and looks at nothing but poll ratings to see what the right thing is to do. We need to stand up against this bandwaggon crap. I will never give up.

If not you can read his statements on EACH of the issues you addressed right here. http://www.johnkerry.com/

Then you can start a thread mischaracterizing what he actually said as you did with the "crying in their teacups" statement.

And yes....that IS MY response to your disingenuous inquiry

members support Kucinich because he will bring 'em home(this is why i love kucinich so much is that my father will be redeployed in 2005 if not for him) and Clark hes a general and they think he knows the best way to get home safely and dean.Mainly because they stood with us when our families lifes where on the line.Most will if they dont get it vote for some one like kerry but will not actively support them.

if you don't like him, don't vote for him . . . and prepare yourself for Chief Justice Scalia and Associate Justice Ashcroft . . . do you really dislike women so much that you will help ensure the overturning of Roe v. Wade? . . . sheesh . . .

He gave every indication he would have voted for the war in some form had he been in Congress.

He also would not take a definitive stand on the very ideas that the Patriot Act expresses:

Dean said Wednesday he believed that the attacks (9/11) and their aftermath would “require a re-evaluation of the importance of some of our specific civil liberties. I think there are going to be debates about what can be said where, what can be printed where, what kind of freedom of movement people have and whether it's OK for a policeman to ask for your ID just because you're walking down the street.”

Dean said he had not taken a position on these questions. Asked whether he meant that specific rights described in the Bill of Rights — the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution — would have to be trimmed, the governor said:

“I haven't gotten that far yet. I think that's unlikely, but I frankly haven't gotten that far. Again, I think that's a debate that we will have.”

(Vermont Law School Professor Michael Mello) said Thursday, “the civil liberties Dean seems to be talking about so blithely, that's exactly what makes us different from the murderers who committed these acts."

OK, Dean spinnners, let's go!

8. If you make a factual assertion about a candidate that is not generally accepted to be true, you must provide a link to a reputable source to back up your claim. Allegedly "innocent" questions which are actually an underhanded effort to spread rumors are not allowed. If you really need to know the answer to your question, try Google.
