Reply #44: So, what was Kerry's position on the Iraq war again?

[smoogatz]

He was for it before he was against it, but if he had it to do over again he would've done exactly what Bush did, but differently? And you think I'm not making sense? C'mon--Kerry was an abysmal candidate--even worse than Gore, if that's possible. He was compromised from the get-go because he voted incorrectly on Gulf War I, the authorization bill, and the supplemental. And I think you misstate Dean's economic positions--he was vocally opposed to Bush's tax-cuts for the rich, and that counts as economic populism (more or less) in this day and age. As for Harry Reid, I admire the fact that he's a straight-shooting fighter--he doesn't have to be right on every single issue for me to support him.
