#1 "Thatâs what he says now. But wait a few daysâ¦ "

Damn, you took the words right outta my mouth! But more specifically wait until his audience is anti-war...

#2 Wow! I'm amazed at his ability to straddle both sides of the fence on everything. Are we sure this guy isn't Smeegul? We hates the war! No we luvs it!

#3 Any chance the 9-11 families will protest Sen Kerry using the Sept 11th attacks for political advantage? Hello? (crickets)

#4 money quote, summarizing the DNC's position on most otherwise morally clear issues: "as an important marker for Democratic candidates who wanted to APPEAR tough on crime."

It's all about appearances, not substance. Sound and fury, signifying nothing...

#5 "I walked out of the Capitol and said, `Weâre at war.'"

Whoa, he's quick. Speaking of which, does anyone know where Kerry was on 9/11 and how he spent the day? I know where Rumsfeld was and what he was doing.

#6 Isn't pandering still a crime?

#7 "I walked out of the Capitol and said, `Weâre at war."â said Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran. "That was my instant reaction as I looked in the air for another airplane that was heading toward us. I think you destroy the enemy."

But then the Republicans started saying the same thing, and so naturally he had to take the opposing view. I think Lil Dhimmi nailed it: this guy's bipolarity puts Gollum to shame.

#8 ...blow Osama bin Ladenâs brains out.

But two years later, Kerry just wants to blow him.

#9 President Bushâs campaign has held out Kerryâs evolving position on the death penalty as just one more in a string of flip-flops to portray him as unprincipled, indecisive and blowing with the political winds.

Not to mention overly concerned with what Europe thinks. If bin Laden were to be caught on the watch of a President Kerry, would Osama be executed? I have my doubts, especially if the EU was to check in with its opinions. And no doubt it would.

#10 Wait. Was it Kerry or Dean that wasn't sure where Osama should be tried?

#11 RC: I believe that was Dean.

#12 ...and, then there is this:
GREENVILLE, S.C. â Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said during last night's Democratic presidential debate that the threat of terrorism has been exaggerated.
"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."

So what happened to this "war" he declared on 9/11? I hope this comes back to bite him.

#13 Kerry sounds like some kind of gang leader.

#14 BH -- OK. I thought we had seen another flip-flop.

Oh, pardon me. THIS IS ANOTHER KERRY FLIP. He voted AGAINST the death penalty for terrorists who attack Americans overseas. At the time -- and since -- he claimed that was because it would make it harder to get them extradited to the US.

Sounds like his position's changed a bit... assuming he ever had a position.

#15 Sounds like his position's changed a bit... assuming he ever had a position.

Of course he has a position. In fact, he's got four of them: North, South, East, West. Just depends which way the wind's blowing.

John Kerry - Whether Vain.

#16 He's got a fifth position not listed; it's bent over, pants down, grabbing his ankles wherever the UN (and Europe) is involved.

#17 If Kerry's against Capitol Punishment, fine. I can live with that, as long as he's against it all the time. The problem I have with CP is the possibility for error, besides I think CP is way too good for most of the scumbags that get it. Buy Pitcairn Island from the British and just dump the assholes on it
