Reply #773: I thought so

My comment wasn't in jest -- and whether you were serious about your comment isn't really relevant for mine. It wasn't a comment about you, but about the athmosphere on DU. One can think Kerry's inconsistent and still be a great liberal.

I, myself, never really like a politician at all -- at least not one that can possibly climb the ladder of DC as high as Kerry has (Barbara Boxer or Cynthia McKinney do genuinely warm my heart sometimes). I think that you have to be a flip-flopping double-speaking crook if you want to run for president in America anyway. I've never enthusiastically voted for president, but only for the lesser of two evils -- and with the GOP there, FAR lesser of the two evils would be more accurate.

Could a good man become president? Yes. Is it possible that Kerry is a good man? Very. Is it possible to run a straight-talking honest campaign for president? Fuck no.

So fuck yeah, Kerry is a flip-flopper. So was every other presidential candidate I've ever seen.
