John Kerry CANNOT be Trusted<\/span><\/big><\/big>
\r\nLook at this Trail of Hypocrisy<\/span>
\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\nOctober 2002:  “[I will vote for the war] because I believe Saddam Hussein is a Threat... [Bush must go thru the UN],  If he fails to do so, I will be the first to speak out.”<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n\r\nMarch 20, 2003:  “Saddam Hussein has chosen to make military force\r\nthe ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism.  The only\r\nexit strategy is victory, this is our common mission and the world’s\r\ncause. We're in this together.”
\r\n
\r\nOctober 2003:  “This president has done it wrong every step of the way. He\r\npromised that he would have a real coalition. He has a fraudulent\r\ncoalition. He promised he would go through the United Nations and honor\r\nthe inspections process. He did not. <\/span>He broke every promise. He's done it wrong.”

\r\n1971 Congressional Testimony: “We are angry because we feel we have\r\nbeen used in the worst fashion by the administration of this country,\"\r\nKerry said.  Kerry called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S.\r\nforces from Vietnam, calling the war \"the biggest nothing in history.\"
\r\n
\r\nFeb 26, 2004 - \"No, I do not regret my vote [for the war]... No, I would not leave now. I think that you can't leave now.\"

\r\n1971 Congressional Testimony: “How do you ask a man to be the last man\r\nto die in Vietnam?  How do you ask a man to be the last man to die\r\nfor a mistake?\"
\r\n\r\n
\r\nFebruary 27, 2004:  \"I will add 40,000 active-duty Army troops, a\r\ntemporary increase likely to last the remainder of the decade.\"
\r\n
\r\nKucinich: “How are we going to get another 40,000 troops John?”<\/span>
\r\n
\r\n
KERRY DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION<\/span>
\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/big>
\r\nKerry, fooled by the threats,\r\nvoted for the war.  No he says he's got 'proven ability' to stand\r\nup and fight the tough fights- do you believe him?
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n<\/span><\/big>Kucinich March 20, 2003:<\/big>  <\/span>For\r\nthe past year I have led the effort in the House of Representatives to\r\nchallenge the Administration’s march to war in Iraq.  I\r\nhave used my voice and my vote to try to help avert the tragedy of this\r\nimmense diplomatic failure and this departure from morality in world\r\naffairs.<\/span> \r\nI have used every legal and legislative resource available to me to\r\nchallenge this war.   This culminated in 126 Democrats,\r\nnearly two thirds of the Democratic caucus, voting against the Iraq\r\nresolution last October.   \r\n

 <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\nYet the war begins.  <\/span>This a sad day for America, the world community and the people of Iraq<\/span>.  <\/span>Today we hope and pray for the safe return of our troops and the end to this unjustified war.  <\/span>I\r\nsupport the brave young men and women who are following orders that\r\nhave placed them in harm’s way. While I support the troops, I cannot\r\nsupport this mission.  <\/span>President Bush has launched an unprovoked attack against another country.  <\/span>Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States or any of its neighboring nations.<\/span> <\/span>
\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/span>America is losing its way at home and in the world.  We\r\nhave no money to rebuild America's cities, but we have money to blow up\r\ncities in Iraq.<\/span>  No money to feed the hungry, the clothe the naked, to\r\nshelter the homeless in America, put money to rain death, destruction,\r\nand starvation on Iraq.  No money to build bridges over the Cuyahoga\r\nRiver in Cleveland, but money to blow up the bridges over the Tigris\r\nand the Euphrates.
