I dunno, but listening to McCain talk a few minutes ago made me ill. Whenever he talks about how he worked to declare there were no POWs left in Vietnam, I truly understand why so many POW families detest this man.
"We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today," Kerry said Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "Knowing there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction, knowing there was no connection of Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda, I would not have gone to war. That's plain and simple."
But on Aug. 9, 2004, when asked if he would still have gone to war knowing Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction, Kerry said: "Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it was the right authority for a president to have." Speaking to reporters at the edge of the Grand Canyon, he added: "[Although] I would have done this very differently from the way President Bush has."
The Kerry campaign says voting to authorize the war in Iraq is different from deciding diplomacy has failed and waging war. But Kerry's nuanced position has contradicted itself on whether it was right or wrong to wage the war.
In May 2003, at the first Democratic primary debate, John Kerry said his vote authorizing the president to use force was the "right decision" though he would have "preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity."
But then in January 2004, Kerry began to run as anti-war candidate, saying, "I don't believe the president took us to war as he should have."
Patriot Act
Kerry joined with 97 other senators and voted for the Patriot Act in October 2001. Campaigning in New Hampshire in June 2003, he defended his vote, saying, "it has to do with things that really were quite necessary in the wake of what happened on Sept. 11."
But last December in Iowa, Kerry advocated "replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time."

Rand should use the opportunity to expose Kerry's hypocrisy to the liberals, it would be perfect.
He'll ask him about foreign aid. You can be sure of that.
What happened to the reps for everyone?
Now, Kerry is advocating more of the same 'ol interventionist bullshit that our government has been doing. In fact, he is recommending it be increased.
New world order but we're conspiracy theorists.
The same actors have been changing rolls my whole life.
Protest!
Order, order!!
what was the exact Kissinger quote? I need to find it.Quote:

Then it seems weird that Obama nominated a Secretary of State and a Secretary of Defense who seem to have diametrically opposite views.Quote:

This whole thing has been intervention, intervention, intervention. That we should tell every other damn country on the face of the earth how to live.
I just saw Rand next to Ron Johnson, he will come up next.
edit: nevermind it was Flake.
So has Rand spoken yet?
No, but surely coming up soon as they've gone through everyone...Quote:

Kerry should be asked about white washing Iran Contra and CIA crack dealing in the 1980's.
