Took him long enough...

We knew it was too good to be true. John Kerry's warm and fuzzy concession speech proved to the nation that he was not an angry man; instead, he was ready to work together with the President to accomplish the best for our beloved America.

Not so fast, you young, naive politicos. Mr. Flip-Flop is back...

According to the Washington Post the junior Senator from Massachusetts has decided that he is no longer the nice man he tried to be on November 3rd (it only took 16 days to change his mind on this one).

I don't have the e-mail yet that Kerry sent to his supporters, but I have quotes from the Post. I'm going to compare these with statements from the concession speech- you make the call.

Nov. 3rd- "With that gift also comes obligation. We are required to work together for the good of our country. In the days ahead, we must find common cause."

Nov. 19th- Bush's Cabinet is being remade "to rubber stamp policies that will undermine Social Security, balloon the deficit, avoid real reforms in health care and education, weaken homeland security and walk away from critical allies around the world."

---

Nov. 3rd- "We must join in common effort without remorse or recrimination, without anger or rancor. America is in need of unity and longing for a larger measure of compassion."

Real quick: I had to look this up. Recrimination means: "a counter accusation; mutual accusations."

Nov. 19th- He accused the administration of preparing a "right-wing assault on values and ideals" and called on Democrats to fight back against what he labeled Bush's extreme agenda. "This is not a time for Democrats to retreat and accommodate extremists on critical principles. It is a time to stand firm."

I'm sorry, but I don't remember President Bush introducing anything recently that would be labeled extremist or assaulting values. In fact, the cabinet replacees (is that a word?) have all been in the administration already and are simply moving up.

Senator Kerry, who claimed it is not the time to keep fighting and accusing the other party, has now done just that. He couldn't stand himself the way he was on Nov. 3rd. He couldn't bear to live quietly and peacefully and try to work together. If the media keeps trying to tell us we are a divided nation, the finger needs to be pointed directly at Senator Kerry.

I can hear the quote now: "I actually did support the President before I turned against him."
