One of the most telling things I have read related to Kerry's flip flopping was in an article by David Broder, liberal Washington Post columnist. Broder said that in a 2002 conversation, Kerry told him he thought it would be doubly advantageous that "I fought in Vietnam and also I fought against the Vietnam War". Broder went on to say that apparently Kerry did not recognize that some would see far too much political calculation in such a bifurcated record. Sound a little like I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it. The Democrats try to characterize his contradictory positions as that of a complex, nuanced man. There is nothing nuanced about him. He is a man with no integrity who intentionally takes two sides of an issue for pure political purposes. This man is one sick puppy.

His illness is called "Delusions of Grandure" He may be jfk but he's no John Kennedy. Just a pretender. Pretends to be Irish. Pretends to be heroic. NOT!

Excerpt from:
Swift Boat Accounts Incomplete
Critics Fail to Disprove Kerry's Version of Vietnam War Episode

By Michael Dobbs
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, August 22, 2004; Page A01

.....
'When Kerry signed up to command a Swift boat in the summer of 1968, he was inspired by the example of his hero, John F. Kennedy, who had commanded the PT-109 patrol boat in the Pacific in World War II. But Kerry had little expectation of seeing serious action. At the time the Swift boats -- or PCFs (patrol craft fast), in Navy jargon -- were largely restricted to coastal patrols. "I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry wrote in a book of war reminiscences published in 1986. '
