A question for critics of John Kerry: Is he a "flip-flopper" or the most consistently liberal voter in the Senate? Critics can't have it both ways. They should get their story straight.

It is a country in need of real leadership by someone who is mature enough to understand the intricacies of being a world power, which go far beyond the childish black-and-white understanding of those who can't leave their childhood where it belongs -- in the schoolyard playground.
