The latest Bush attack advertisement, using a clip of Kerry swerving while windsurfing in New England, asking why he can't stick to one direction, gets at the heart of what I hate about the attacks on Kerry.
The man has changed his mind, so what?
His stance on the Iraq War has changed, sure, but so has the information that the White House has given us. The President said that there was a clear and impending threat to Americans due to Iraqi agression and WMDs, but then there weren't. To endorse the same course of action regardless of the threat to the American people would be illogical, the ability to change one's mind as information changes should be lauded (or at least considered), not attacked at every turn.
Ugh.
