So, Kerry makes some off-hand comment so that his mic picks it up and he gets kudos all 'round? His non-comment is a non-blow.
He's having his cake and eating it too. Riding the fence AGAIN. Some say its brilliant politicking. I say its cowardice. He wants to make a statement but in the end he has to fake it. Put it out there without having to stand by it. If it looks its going to hurt us, there is an out.
Being on both sides again. It is just indicative of his weaselly nature. He's false. He's fake. He dodges. He waffles.
Where is the principle? Where is the fucking honesty? Sure, we all know that Bush is a liar. He could Google Bush's lies and get ample support but then he'd have to make a stand and not have any wiggle room.
That is why he will always just be a default candidate. He's put together like Bush. He has no principles just mushy statements that seem to indicate a sort of inclination towards a position where there is always, always an out.
And that is why he will always just be the guy who is the other side of the coin from Bush. Few will vote FOR KERRY, most will only vote AGAINST BUSH.
Don't believe me? Check it out.
