I can agree with that, he's a professional fence-sitter. For example, during his college years, he gave an antiwar speech, and the very next day, went to volunteer for the Army.

But currently, he is definitely on the right, and most assuredly an authoritarian. My main beef with him is his staunch support of US hegamony, and the threat of military force (unilateral and pre-emptive, just like Bush) to sustain it.

If everyone is left to their own devices, without the intereference of a huge government, people will natuarally be happy and prosperous

Except of course if you believe differently, then they will outlaw anything that goes against their so called "values".


Personally, I'm 19 and I am not registered to vote. I have no desire to do so either. If everything goes according to plan, in a few years, it will not matter very much to me.

You see, Kerry has supported just about both sides of every issue. Honestly.

Yeah right. Source, and as you are providing one, you could also check out the context of votes.

And, of course, getting new evidence or seeing how your decision was actually bad and trying to change it is flip-flop

IF I MAKE MISTAKE I STICK WITH IT, the colossal mammoth stance where you won't admit your mistakes and stick to the [wrong] path is morally superior to admitting your mistakes oh wait

err, I've read that a few times, and I'm afraid I don't get what you're saying.

...and what do you mean by that "it won't matter much" thing? Don't tell me you're one of the "rapture is just around the corner" crowd? Or, more plausibly, moving out of the country, in which case, you're wrong, it does matter, more than even now. You see, there is a nasty tendency of US foreign policy to afftect, well, foreign nations, especially the poorer ones. US citizens are ironically among the most protected from US policy SNAFUs.

Its also official company policy that any non-sensical statements which I am making at this point are to be attributed to lack of sleep.

Of course they are. And no one should be surprised that both parties are on the right wing either considering that in America socialism is considered a dirty word.
