Lurch is a fish? Must be a carp!
John Kerry says he has no intention of apologizing for calling Republicans "the most crooked ... lying group that I’ve ever seen." After all, spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter says, it was in response to the "high level ... Republican attack machine" that’s been working "to smear" Democrats. "We’re trying to make this campaign about issues," she said. "Republicans are making it about attacks."
Standard Dem tactics: (1) Lie; (2) Accuse the other side of doing exactly what you’re doing or plan to do.
Ah, there it is -- the Kerry campaign strategy: Should anyone question your record on the issues, it’s an "attack" and a "smear." Such a tactic is the first refuge of liberal scoundrels who have a record as abysmal as Mr. Kerry’s. John Kerry is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. And if he’s consistent about anything, it’s his inconsistencies. Sen. Fish’s flips and flops are so legion that they total 37 pages on the Google Internet search engine. Among them:- In 1988, Kerry voted against a minimum work requirement for two-parent welfare homes. In 1996, he voted for stricter welfare reforms.
- A decade ago, Kerry voted against mandatory minimum sentences. He now supports them.
- The 1992 John Kerry opposed affirmative action.
Except, of course, for bluebloods like himself.
The 2004 John Kerry supports affirmative action, even touting his consistency on the issue.
- In 1996, Kerry opposed capital punishment for terrorists. Today, he conveniently supports it.
At least if he gets to blow bin Laden’s head off himself.
- In 1998, Kerry didn’t think much of teachers unions.
I’m shocked. A Dem-o-Rat against a union? He must have been very ill in 1998.
These days he’s their pimp.
- Double taxation on tax dividends? Hated it in 2002, loved it in 2003.
And the flip-flops go on and on. Kerry says he wants to have a serious debate on the issues. Fine. When he finally decides what his positions are, we’re sure Republicans will be happy to entertain one.
Ouch. |
