The discussion revolves around John Kerry's perceived inconsistency on various political issues, particularly his stance on the Iraq War and affirmative action. Participants highlight instances where Kerry has shifted his position, such as his initial support for the Iraq War authorization while later criticizing the execution of the war. They reference specific quotes from Kerry that illustrate his complex views, including his acknowledgment of the need to disarm Saddam Hussein while expressing dissatisfaction with how the war was conducted. The conversation also touches on the broader theme of political flip-flopping, with some arguing that Kerry's nuanced positions reflect a deeper understanding rather than mere inconsistency. The debate includes references to Kerry's past statements on affirmative action, where he described it as "inherently limited and divisive," contrasting with his later denials of having made such claims. Overall, the thread illustrates the challenges voters face in interpreting the evolving positions of politicians.

Wasteof 2 - This thread was supposed to be fun. Russ Waters pretty much stated my view. I really don’t have a problem with a politician changing his mind.

I’m not going to debate the issue anymore. The reason I threw in the English teacher bit was too get an inkling of your age. I’m guessing you’re now a HS senior; a very intelligent one. You’ve made good arguments and I think have learned something in the process. Me? In 10-20 years I’ll only be able to rap on a table during a séance. I need to irritate as many liberals as I can in the meantime.
