John Kerry is running for President against George Bush, but it is getting harder and harder to tell that. George Bush can now say that Kerry agrees with him on Iraq. In fact, in Bush's stump speech he now can say, "After months of questioning my motives and even my credibility, Senator Kerry now agrees with me."

Kerry has become Bush when it comes to the War in Iraq, in fact he is even more hawkish than Bush ever was.

Helen Thomas points out that in the Seattle Post-intelligencer that Kerry has said that he would have "voted to give the President the authority to go to war" even if he had known there were no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction.

Kerry claims that the President should have the "authority" to go to war. Kerry is a Democrat and he is taking the Republican position on this. A very large chunk of his base feel that he is dead wrong on this and those people have no idea of who to vote for now.

It is pretty plain that under the United States Constitution, the President doesn't have the right to declare war. That right belongs to Congress. So, we have both Kerry and Bush trying to subvert the Constitution, they have taken an oath to protect.. Many people in America today are thinking that we should start adhering to our founding principals and John Kerry could pick up their votes, but he isn't going to by agreeing with everything George Bush has been saying.

I have people writing to me all the time, who say that Kerry is only saying these things so that he can pick up the "swing vote." Well he might get some of those swingers, but he is leaving much of his base behind.

I ask anti-war people how they can vote for Kerry and they keep telling me that Kerry's words are a ploy to fool some of the people, but it isn't working out that way. I am taking the man at his word and his word today is, Vote for me and I will do everything George Bush is doing, and more.

I am afraid that we now have two Republicans running for the same job and I think George Bush is the honest one here. I don't like Bush, but he isn't trying to use the Democrats ideas, he is putting out the Republican line. Kerry is putting out the Republican line too and that will cost him the election.

If Kerry switches back to the Democrat line now, it will either be another "Flip" or another "Flop.".
