John Kerry was unfairly labeled a flip-flopper during the 2004 presidential campaign, and it stuck. Americans seemed to believe this to be true, and subsequently the worst president in the history of the United States was re-elected, with a little help from the media along the way.
This photo at right appeared last Sunday in the New York Times. It ridicules John Kerry as being a flip-flopper.
Isn't this just awful, running this in 2007?
Isn't this just awful, dredging up this old photo, and reinforcing the bullshit stereotype of Sen. Kerry that Rove and the chicken hawks created?

George Bush said he'd be a "compassionate conservative." George Bush also said he'd be a "uniter, not a divider." And Bush said he was a fiscal conservative yet has spent tens of billions of dollars on a war we didn't need to fight.
These aren't merely flip-flops: They turned out to be outright deceptions.
Bush is the quintessential flip-flopper. Where's the photo of him in a dolphin suit, and why isn't it on the front page of the New York Times "Week in Review" section?
George Bush -- worst president in the history of the United States. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Veteran's Day is next Monday. I salute all veterans.
I salute John Kerry, and I salute John McCain, and I salute Max Cleland, and Al Gore, and George McGovern , and George Herbert Walker Bush.
But I can't salute service-dodgers like George W. Bush, chicken hawks like Dick Cheney and Tommy Flanagans like Karl Rove.

With all the hatred you have for someone who has a little more than a year in office, you should go get some counseling. Seek it for your other issues too. Wally would be appreciative.
