In the debate last night, Kerry was asked to explain why he first voted for the $87 billion for our troops, then against it.
Instead of clarifying the meaning of that, he gave a snappy come-back.
That would be cool if we were in the eighth-grade.
Paraphrased, he said . . .["I made a mistake in the way I talked abouth the $87 billion. But isn't that better than the president's mistake of going to war?"]
This really cleared the air according to the likes of Alan Colms and Mr. Lockhart. The problem is, I still don't know why changed his vote.
On a school debate team, it's your job to win the debate. If this is how one wins a debate, how does that help us choose a leader?

What is sad is that so many Liberals have cited that response as Kerry's best moment. They are actually happy that he was sarcastic and non-responsive. I suppose this shows that he is smart. I suppose that they would rather have a smart guy than a guy who is right. You said it: how does this qualify him for president? How is this kind of "argument" going to help build alliances?
