Janus-Faced Kerry Compass

When JFK II’s rhetoric points to the right, he’s really heading leftward.

(Page 2 of 2)

John Kerry has spent a lifetime learning how to artfully construct statements so they are everything and anything but the whole truth. There won't be any tough D.A. grilling Kerry on the stand, certainly not his friends in the establishment news media. President Bush must do this himself in debate.

Social conservatives need to question where Kerry stands on marriage, particularly in the states where Kerry visits that have an initiative in defense of marriage on the ballot. By doing that, it can help to spark a strong turnout by all conservative voters.

Otherwise, the "Kerry Compass" may just turn out to be the gag gift of 2005 -- but those who hold marriage sacred will not be laughing.
