Reply #232: He now has a 100% rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.

Are you glad he switched positions or not? Is he helping women now or not?

I can only speak for myself, but I see DK as another politician, just one that is right a lot more often than many other politicians. But like with any politician changes will happen, sometimes for real reasons, often for political reasons. Flip flops are expected, and personally, I love it when they happen and the flop lands on the correct side of the issues. I don't give a fuck if it was done for political reasons or not (as if every single move in D.C. isn't motivated by political reasons...yes, even among the politicians you like), the right thing is obviously being done now, or he wouldn't have the ratings he does.

And your whole argument that he's just like everyone else, a politician with no principle, raises a question. If it bothers you that he pretends to have principle, why doesn't it bother you that others aren't even pretending to have it? I've never seen you get mad at any politician with the intensity you have for Kucinich (in fact, he's the only one I've seen you get bent out of shape over ever). So the ones who show little to no principle don't seem to bother you at all. It's like it's all ok with you, just so long as they're up front about having no principles. DK changes his mind once and you hate him with the heat of a thousand suns, even though he ended up on the side you're fighting for. Where's your anger for the politicians with ratings worse than his on women's issues? I never see it.
