Subject: RE: BS: Will Dem grassroots support Kerry?
Well, I'm not going to verbally slap arpund those of you who are badmouthing Dean above--you know who you are. But Like I've said before, we're on the same side now. GUEST, one of your posts leaps out at me as absurd. That article at common dreams claims there is a stark contrast between what Kerry said in the debates and what he said on the Senate floor before the vote on the war. It then shows that in fact they were entirely consistent. The promise he did not keep was to "speak out" if Bush broke his promise.

Then it says that he "remained silent." I always wonder what that means, and how a reporter would know anyway. To get down to the level of technicality they are holding Kerry to, he never said TO WHOM he would speak out, he never said he'd do it from the floor or at a press conference. Maybe he chewed out W. over the phone. Maybe he went into Senator Byrd's office and they vented their frustration over a whisky. Who the hell knows?

THAT's his big broken promise?
