On Sat, 29 May 2004, duke, referring to Kerry, but one can't be sure
because he was name-calling

> He actually voted for something before he voted against it.

What was that?

And why did he change his mind?

From the book Banana Republicans:
http://www.bananarepublicans.org/excerpt.html

The following excerpt is from the introduction to Banana Republicans.

The War at Home

"I'm a uniter, not a divider," said candidate George W. Bush during his
2000 campaign for president. "I refuse to play the politics of putting
people into groups and pitting one group against another." This promise to
be a "uniter, not a divider" was a recurrent theme throughout Bush's
campaign, repeated verbatim in media interviews, fund-raising letters,
campaign stump speeches and debates.
As Bush neared the end of his first term, however, evidence suggested that
he had been just the opposite. The Pew Research Center for the People and
the Press conducts periodic opinion polls that compare the attitudes of
Republican and Democratic voters. "National unity was the initial response
to the calamitous events of Sept. 11, 2001," noted its November 2003
update, "but that spirit has dissolved amid rising political polarization
and anger. ..."

Also don't forget that Howard Dean was way ahead in the poles and then
failed to win even one state in the democratic primaries.

So you deny Kerry burned down villages and committed other war atrocities
even though he admitted to it?
