"A man defined by inner conflicts." That’s how the Boston Globe described John Kerry in a five-part series in June 2003. "The gung-ho Vietnam hero turned articulate antiwar protester; the shaggy-haired liberal rebel turned feisty prosecutor; a politician whose core beliefs included a skeptical view of government," wrote the Globe.

Sounds familiar? Someone wrote a book about it in the 1800s -- it’s called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. During his 19 years as a career politician and Washington insider, Kerry has never let a little thing like principle get in his way. He’s made a career out of balancing between the Democratic Party’s conservative and the liberal wings.

That’s why, last week in Greenville, S.C., Kerry declared that he was going to "hold Bush accountable" for the war in Iraq. But just as easily, he could boast to his Republican critics, "I have voted for the largest defense budgets in the history of our country."

Kerry has taken several liberal positions during his career, only to take them back years later. Since 1984, when he won his first campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from Massachusetts, Kerry backed canceling weapons systems, such as the B-1 bomber, B-2 stealth bomber, the Apache helicopter and the Patriot missile. Kerry now calls those positions "ill-advised, and I think some of them are stupid in the context of the world we find ourselves in right now, and the things that I’ve learned since then."

1. Article has been posted many times

Very light on actual damning info. The most egregious charge appears to be that he has taken slightly less money from the healthcare industry than Dean. Vroom.

2. Nah

Last year they were Gore-ing Kerry for a while, but that seems to have subsided. At least for now.

5. LOL, I take it you are a male

In 2000, I remember a (smart, nice) cab driver yapping at me that Bush and Gore were the same (definitely has been disproved by now) and I just asked him if he would feel that way if he were a woman. By the end of the short cab ride, he told me he was going to vote for Gore.
