Thanks a mill hist2004 . Helped alot
Senator Flip Flop
Go there and you can see where Kerry has changed his position on different issues.
Just click on "Help Inspector Kerry Search For Truth". Or one of the issues on the right side.
I love that site.
I'd say your sources are alittle biased
towards the Democratic agenda.

Hist2004
What have they said that isn't true? I read a great many sources. That is just what I found on a search in google after I read your question in a "bush kerry issues" search.
CNN & MSNBC have a more liberal agenda whereas FOXNEWS slants to
the right wing.

thank you very much ! you put political issues in lamens terms and you looked at only the facts one of the most refreshing posts ive seen lately
kudos
I think most publications/sites will have some agenda to push even if it's subtle. I think you need to read some from either side. Somewhere in the middle is the truth. I put more faith in the likes of CNN, ABC, Fox, MSNBC, etc than a a smaller site/newsletter/individual because there is more accountability for not lying or misrepresenting facts.
Thanks, but I actually do read from all sidesI think you need to read some from either side

You're welcome. Anytime you want to borrow my "Politics for Blondes" book just let me know.
Re: Election question
The "Bush-is-an-idiot" comment although popular is tres facile.
Can an idiot:
1) Get accepted and graduate from Yale, an Ivy League school?
2) Become a pilot of one of the most difficult to fly jets, the F-102, in the 1960's without killing himself?
3) Get accepted and earn a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School?
4) Get elected govenor one of the largest states in America?
5) Become the first Governor in Texas history to be elected to consecutive four-year terms when he was re-elected on November 3, 1998, with 68.6 percent of the vote?
6) Get elected President of United States? Twice?
Unless you have accomplished a tiny fraction of these milestones, I don't think you should call anyone an "idiot".
