The real John Kerry is a man of integrity. He has been consistent (not a flip-flopper) with his position on Iraq. He has maintained consistently that he supported the authorization (and this is crucial to understanding him) as long as the UN inspections continued and were in place. Bush tricked him.

The real John Kerry can be counted on to be honest with the American public. His role as a senator involved the investigations of the BCCI bank in the Iran Contra scandal,
and behind the scenes working for passages of bills that he believed in. Often senators don't get credit unless their name is on the bill. Bush's contention that Kerry didn't do anything significant as a senator is a lie. Bush also must be judged in his limited political experience as an inept governor of Texas
where he fudged the test scores of the school system to make it seem as though it were a "Texas Miracle". Texas Fraud is more like it. For Bush to say Kerry was ineffective in the Senate is ludicrous.
