I pointed out Kerry's flip flopping then you equate Bush to Kerry as 
if to suggest that Bush is also a flip flopper.  If you simply say 
now that your point was only that Bush had no principles,....okay, I 
can take that on as well.

So Bush didn't talk about war with Iraq during his campaign so 
therefore he is a liar???  And 9/11 didn't have anything to do with 
unexpected changes in foreign policy?!?!  And nothing in the way of 
American events could reasonably alter foreign policy????  

This hardly points to any lack of principles.  If this was the case, 
then Roosevelt had no principles when he declared war on Japan 
during WWII, JFK had no principles when he stared down the Soviets 
during the Cuban missle crisis, Carter had no principles when he 
sent Marines into Iran to rescue hostages and Clinton had no 
principles when he bombed Kosovo, Sudan and Iraq.  None of these men 
campaigned on such issues.  Are they liars as well????

What Bush DID tell people was that he was a strong, competent leader 
willing to defend the sovereignty of the United States.  Promise 
kept!!!!
