Oh, and on Kerry's "flip-flopping"...

The funniest thing about the whole "flipflopping" issue (aside from the fact that it isn't true, but simply the right's propoganda machine at work) is that we're saying that Kerry is not fit to be President because....he CHANGES HIS MIND!
OH MY GOD. They're right. Surely we don't want someone who CHANGES THEIR MIND at the helm of the country.
I mean, just think of it. What if they learned new information or *gasp* intelligence that didn't fit with thier plans? They might CHANGE THEIR MIND!
Or, if they got advice from an advisor that was smarter on a subject than they were and they convinced them that they might be wrong? they might CHANGE THEIR MIND!
Holy cow. Think of the possibilities. It would be devastating to have a president that listened to advice and then made up a decision, and was willing to CHANGE THEIR MIND if the country needed it, or if it made sense. Or if, god forbid, they might have been wrong.
I mean, just think, what if Kerry were president, and we got attacked by Al Qaeda and he knew, just knew, that Iran was behind it and so he started to prepare for an invasion but then one of his advisers or the CIA came to him and said, "Mr President all our intelligence indicates that it isn't Iran behind the attack, instead it's North Korea". What if, under that situation, our President CHANGED HIS MIND?
Where would the US be then?
In a hell of a lot better place than now, I can tell you that.
Remember that Cuban Missile Crisis thingy? Where we went eyeball to eyeball with the Russkies and the whole world watched while we almsot blew it up? Well, JFK was a pretty bright guy...because he listened to his advisors on possible options to deal with the Missiles in Cuba...and he CHANGED HIS MIND and instead of airstrikes he blockaded.
WE know now, given that Russian archives have all been released to the public after the wall fell down, that if he had ordered airstrikes, odds are very good that there would have been a nuclear war.
Thank god he CHANGED HIS MIND.
WE need a President that is not so lugheaded and stubborn that he can't CHANGE HIS MIND.
Get it?
Or, is it possible that you can't CHANGE YOUR MIND?
