I saw a Democratic advisor on TV make an excellent point: For a couple months we’ve been listening to Bush/Cheney ’04 and all its supporters portray John Kerry as a weak-spined “flip flopper” who bends in whichever direction the wind blows. In the last few days the GOP talking points have abruptly been revised and Kerry is now the most zealous liberal in the U.S. Senate.
How are these two characterizations consistent?
The flip-flopping label is based on Kerry’s ever-evolving primary, campaign, and debate statements, while his title as the most liberal member of the Senate in 2004 is based on his voting record.
