Politics trumped principle for Kerry in votes for war against Iraq

So says a fellow member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, quoted in the new pro-Kerry documentary, "Going Upriver."

In the film, John Kerry is reported as saying that if "I do nothing else in life," he will work to convince people that war (this war, or all war?) is a "wasteful expenditure."

What happened to change that with his Iraq vote in 2002?

Chris Gregory, a former Army medic and VVAW member who appears in the movie and attended the premiere, objected and said, "It's a little too broad a brush" to say that Vietnam and Iraq are one and the same. "John is very focused on winning this job," Gregory said. "He wants to be right. But he wants to win more than he wants to be right."

Unprincipled John Kerry

Now we know just how far John Kerry put politics ahead of principle in 2002.

Many of you "John Kerry right or wrong" types know that inside yourselves, I believe, even if you don't want to admit it.

Anyway, go ahead and accuse this pre-2002 antiwar writer and blogger of being a troll.

Go ahead, if you're shameless.
