How Should Kerry Deal With Inconsistency's on War?
Advertisements [?]
My last post was not clear enough so hear is one that is more to the point. The consensus on the regular media such as Chris Matthews is that Kerry has not been consistent on the war so their must be something to it. While we don't like to say it their is no doubt that Kerry voted against the 87 Billion because Howard Dean was winning and he and Edwards felt like they had to position themselves as anti War at the time. Thats just politics and he had to do it to survive. Somehow Kerry is going to have to figure out a way to smooth this out. My original post was not clear as to what the inconsistency's were but he does have some things that he needs to be ready for. I don't know if you would call that a flip flop on the war but he was trying to appear that he was against the war at that time because of Howard Dean. Does anyone remember if Kerry actually said he was against the war during the campaign or did he just make references to that so he could pull anti war votes away from Howard Dean? Also, how can Kerry deal with this in the debates? This seems a little complicated. It's one of the things the Republicans claim to be a flip flop. Was it ever technically a Flip Flop?
