John Kerry Flip-Flops on Abortion and Supreme Court Judges
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)
Massachusetts senator John Kerry... has been resolute in his opposition to appointing any pro-life judges to the Supreme Court -- or any other court for that matter. But, Wednesday, in a lengthy interview with the Associated Press, Kerry said he would be open to appointing pro-life judges, as long as they weren't the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade. However, Kerry also appeared to flip-flop during the interview saying "I'm going to make sure we uphold what I believe are constitutional rights and I'm not going to pick somebody who's going to undermine those rights," but later adding, "Do they have to agree with me on everything? No.'' When asked Kerry if nominees would have to agree with his views in favor of abortion, Kerry said, "I will not appoint somebody with a 5-4 court who's about to undo Roe v. Wade. I've said that before.'' As it has had to do before to clarify misstatements, Kerry's campaign immediately issued a statement following Kerry's interview confirming that the senator pledged to not appoint anyone to the Supreme Court who would overturn the Roe decision. Pro-life groups say they have no doubts that Kerry will stand by his earlier comments that he would only appoint pro-abortion judges.

KERRY PICKS EDWARDS FOR DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Tuesday selected former rival John Edwards to be his running mate, calling the wealthy former trial lawyer and rookie senator a man who showed "guts and determination and political skills" in his unsuccessful race against Kerry for the party's nomination.

I don't know much about this guy, but something about him doesn't make him look like a 'President's material'.
Offtopic but, I checked my e-mail on July 4th and who wrote me??? President Bush congratulating me for Independence Day! I wonder where he got my e-mail from... ![]() ![]() |

Just a few weeks ago, thanks to lots of bloggers, the "waffles" trick would give you the Kerry campaign website. Now it is #3, instead of #1.

Did anyone see the hiccup the New York Post made today regarding Kerry's running mate? In an attempt to be the first source of Kerry's announcement, they incorrectly put on their front page that Dick Gephardt was Kerry's choice for VP candidate, when later on it was announced, by Kerry, that it was going to be Edwards instead. What a disaster for them, but funny for the rest of us

As a distant observer, I think Kerry made a great choice. If I was Bush, I would be worried. I think the Kerry/Edwards team will pull it off and come November there will be a renewed hope for peace in the middle east and probably a greater focus on going after the terrorist rather than getting strapped down in Iraq.
I think Kerry and Edwards will succeed (if elected) in rallying international support to help in managing the transition to democracy in Iraq and to assist the USA in providing security to the Iraqi people.
