For those of you that feel that Kerry is inconsistent on the issues, and think that Bush is always steadfast in his resolve, here's a happy little page for ya. Notice that a number of these links go directly to whitehouse.gov., and all of them are citing exact quotes.

Now, what have we learned from this? All politicians change their minds at sometime. I mean, really, would you want someone to lead you that NEVER changed their mind? I'd like to think that my leader (who ever it is) is mature enough to admit wrong-doing and smart enough to decide what the best course of action for that moment is. The trick is to have a president whose mind is changed for the best interests of the general populace, and not changed for lobbyists and special interest groups.
I know that having a strong president is vital to the survival of our beautiful country, but when did compassion become a negative attribute? I feel no compassion from the current administration. All I see are stone cold walls of tweed and flesh that apologize insincerely for the deaths of Americas peoples on foreign lands, and then try to take away more of our freedoms by trying to ban abortions, gay marriage, or privacy in the home.
BTW, ever wonder what happened to separation of church and state? Well, you won't find the answer here. All you'll find here is Republicans trying to push bible readers in to voting for them.

Know what else pisses me off? Republicans/Democrats who refuse to listen to the other sides ideas. Heaven forbid they might actually agree with them! Can ideas really be so dangerous to you that you have no course of action but to deny their validity and refuse to examine them? These people are morons! So if the "other side" comes up with a worthwhile solution, you'll never know because you're to scared they'll turn you to their cause. To me, it sounds just like Homophobia. Maybe we should call these people Poliphobes.
