John Kerry has a little problem with publicly positioning himself diametrically opposite to where he actually stands. He told American voters that he's a stalwart defender of Washington against special interests, an opponent of outsourcing, a crusader for ample supplies of troop body armor; his wife even took a shot at Walmart because they "destroy communities." It's since been revealed that John Kerry is the largest recipient of special interest funds in the United States Senate, is the husband to the catsup heiress whose factories pump out the Best Thing for Those Who Wait on 57 plots of ground that aren't American, has voted in favor of depleting body armor stocks, and whose wife owns rather a rather healthy marital trust investment in Walmart. Do as I say on the stump, not what I do, eh?
Kerry's latest conflict between campaign statement and reality has come in the color green — politics, to be exact. The Democratic presidential candidate aims to please his party's anti-capitalist constituents with rhetoric against sport utility vehicles and a promise to choke automobile manufacturers by imposing arbitrary fuel standards by arbitrary deadlines. Swivel one hundred and eighty degrees:
On Earth Day, Democrat John Kerry reluctantly admitted to having a gas-guzzling SUV in the family - but blamed his wife. "The family has it. I don't have it," Kerry said yesterday. But at first, Kerry - quizzed by reporters on a conference call - tried to deny any links to a gas-guzzler on a day when he was touting his credentials as an environmentalist. "I don't own an SUV," he initially insisted - but 'fessed up when asked if his wife, ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz Kerry, owned the Chevrolet Suburban seen at their Sun Valley ski lodge.
Sure, John Kerry won't ratchet down the war on terror, withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, or raise middle class taxes. Of course not. Why, he's said just the opposite.
WHAT?: Title is care of Superman, explained here. How many more times need John Kerry get his positions backwards before he's sent back to the Fifth Dimension — I mean, Massachusetts?
