I'm not going to try to provide links. But Kerry's basic problem was that on any given issue, you could try to figure out all the possible positions that one could take (not just all the "libertarian" ones, or the "reasonable" ones, but ALL the possibilities) and if you watched Kerry enough, he would not only TAKE all those positions, he would manage to TAKE one or two more positions that you hadn't thought of.
That's why the classic Kerry statement of the campaign was Kerry plaintively saying, "I voted FOR the 87 Billion ... before I voted AGAINST it." (I capitalized that to represent Kerry's verbal emphasis and the "..." represents a pause, not words removed from the quote.) In other words, he probably was for human rights, AND against them, AND for them in certain circumstances, AND against them in others, AND .... (OK, PERHAPS I'm exaggerating.) You might also check Reason. They did a cover story right before the election talking about how bad both Bush and Kerry supposedly were. Lowell C. Savage It's the freedom, stupid!
