John Kerry, when confronted by a pro-life voter in the state of Missouri in the 2004, claimed the same position.
So is this what Harold Ford Jr. and Tom Casey Jr. mean when they go to Washington? They will claim to have personal belief in pro-life principals but will vote for funding of tax-payer funded Planned Parenthood clinics to racially "cleanse" our nation's inner cities? If so doesn't that make them as racist and thirsty for the blood of children as Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and the rest of the champions of abortion in the U.S. Senate?
While the liberal left, and their bed pals in the mainstream media seek to highlight the "low approval ratings" of prominent conservative politicians, in particular the President, you don't see him hiding from the campaign trail, and dodging the chance to go on the road to make his case to a voter who may not yet be decided. Yet the "fake-conservatives" that liberals are propping up in races in Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere are not begging for Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and now John Kerry for that matter to come work their campaign events.
Liberals come by this "say one thing" and "do another" mentality honestly. Liberals don't believe in such things as absolutes, standards, or even objective truth. Everything to them is a shade of gray. So lying isn't lying when it’s done by a liberal. When Jim Webb authors an incestuous, homosexual, picture of pedophilia in his book no one is to raise an eye-brow, while Rick Santorum is supposedly the devil because he thinks that a family should be made up of a father and a mother.
You can't trust a liberal position, even if you're a liberal negotiating with another one because you never know if the goal posts are going to move. There are no rights and wrongs. And John Kerry is supposed to be believed simply because he says that what he said wasn't what he said. And if you're so stupid that you were offended by what he really said, then he "sincerely regrets" that you misinterpreted it.
John Kerry should be believed - not for the substance of what he says mind you - but because of what it reveals about him personally that he would pull the curtain back and let us all see what he really thought.
Liberals always have to dance around the truth, because nobody will vote for them based on what they truly believe. And every now and then when we get a peek at what their beliefs, we are reminded why we can never let them be in charge again!
