[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 6458, member: 42"] [b]Kerry's flip flops[/b] I'm all for puncturing these fellows' overinflated balloons, but we shouldn't forget that we not only [i]expect [/i]members of the House and Senate to change their positions about momentous events calling for votes, but [i]depend [/i]upon them, frequently, to do so. For example, the majority of Senators in 1964, including McGovern, voted for the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, the official start of the U.S. war in Vietnam. Democratic President Johnson called for the Resolution in a TV address and told the American people that our servicemen had been attacked by Communist North Vietnamese forces; this was untrue. The cause of the war was trumped up, and many Senators are on the record stating that they would not have voted for the Resolution if they had known the truth. The situation was similar to the one now, in which it emerges that the funding of the war-- really the legal mechanism by which, in the absence of formal declaration, the war against Iraq became legal and official-- was granted by Congress based on falsehood. You cannot say in either case that the particular Senators who voted for war "flipflopped" if they later change their position when the truth comes out. You can see that the blame for such shameful scandal as an unjust war can be spread equally between the reigning political parties. [/QUOTE]
