His live appearance on today's Meet the Press was quite impressive. I find my views matched by Kerry's plans rather well.
Kerry on Meet the Press
- Thread starter conjur
- Start date
Wait a day or two, the chances are very good that his views will change and than where will you be?
Considering Kerry only changes views very rarely and only after considering facts and consequences (unlike the ideologues running the administration now), Kerry will prove to be a very solid and consistent President.

I didn't think it was all that impressive and it sure didn't give many real ideas or details - just the standard rhetoric and bluster.
But I'm sure the Bush haters ate up his little rants

Let's see if the bunch that were so critical of Bush wrt Israel (in another thread) will be equally critical of Kerry in this one.
How 'bout Kerry's explanation for the war?
"I believe it was right to hold Saddam Hussein accountable for violating UN agreements. I believed then ? and I believe now ? authorizing force was the only way to get inspectors in, and the only way ultimately to enforce Saddam Hussein?s compliance with the mandate he had agreed to, knowing that as a last resort war could become the ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism.
And I also believe that those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe we are not safer with his capture don?t have the judgment to be President ? or the credibility to be elected President."

Saying that W went to war over WMD is like saying Clinton was impeached for diddling his intern.
I thought he did a good job, his Israel stance is disappointing to me but hardly enough to swing me over to Bush
He did answer many questions about the budget for me, and to do that well with Tim Russert who is arguably the toughest political interviewer on television. I'm looking forward to win he kicks that lying coward gay hating, player off the fears and beliefs of the american out of office.
This business of Kerry waffling is mostly nonsense.
Kerry's biggest problem is not his waffling or his ideas, but his delivery. He comes across as just another Washington blowhard. Senators seem to think God gave them a special pass to the theme park so they're entitled to take us all for a ride any time they want to. I've rarely seen a Senator act like a human being. Kerry is no exception.
I'm going to vote for the guy but only because Bush is so bad and no one else is remotely close to my views.

Clinton was impeached for "diddling his intern." We are not sure why Dubya diddled Iraq. We only know the lies he used to justify it.

hehe - he lobs softballs. If by "toughest" you mean my 4 year old cousin - sure he's tough - relative to a 2 year old.
Anyway there isn't a "tough" interviewer on TV IMO.CkG
Russert asks some decent questions though. Sure, they could be tougher, but it's not like anyone else is really asking harder questions (which you already said)
At least it isn't Barbara Walters though "So, Mr. Kerry, your kitten died when you were 3?"

Consistency would be the first in almost 4 years.
How many campaign promises has Bush broken?
1) 180-degree turnaround on environmental policy that left Christine Whitman out to hang.
2) Said Clinton/Gore needed to ask OPEC to lower crude oil prices then refused to "beg OPEC" himself and now is flip-flopping on that again!
3) Said he would not engage in nation-building
4) Said he would be the great uniter but has only polarized our country's views and alienated us from the rest of the world.
bush and kerry are politicians, they flip flop all the time, especially if you go back far enough. what matters to me is where they stand now.
i think bush's biggest flip-flop is his relationship with pakistan. it's clear that pakistan should by his standards be part of his axis of evil - they've supported (or turned a blind eye towards) and harbored terrorists, both in india and around the world...they've sold and shared nuclear technology with rogue states........by his definition, any country that does these things should be our enemy, but he's been pretty much treating pakistan on the same level as india and other allies.
as far as i can see, it's clear that pakistan is on the same level as iran, which publicly denies any wrongdoing, but is always doing things behind the scenes contrary to us.

I thought kerry did OK, but he dodged some questions. I have a really hard time beleiving him when he says that he will cut social programs in order to balance the budget. Im guessing he will just raise taxes. At any rate if anyone has his economic plan id be interested to see it.
