The difference is that politicians like Kerry have NO RESOLVE and fortitude in any decision they make.
They didn't mind changing with their lack of commitment.
The ONLY reason they changed their mind was to be against the Republican consensus.
Look at what Bush did ...
The Dem's cried because there was NO health care for the elderly ...
Bush tried to fix it.
The Dem's cried because kids were being left behind
Bush tried to fix it.
The Dem's were crying because the school system was broke
Bush tried to fix it (by letting Teddy *HICK* Kennedy help write the fixes)
The Dem's were crying because the poor people in New Orleans needed help.
Bush tried to fix it.
One of the MAIN REASONS the Dem's don't like Bush
is because as a so called Conservative he did MORE to fix the fiscally Liberal Agenda that has been the foundation of the Democratic platform!
The Dem's cried and he did the best he could ...
He reached across the isle to try making the Dem's happy little campers!

And.... this is justification for producing patently false intelligence and disseminating it to the congress in a rushed vote to go to war?
The REAL reason folks changed their minds was that they found out AFTER the vote that nearly EVERYTHING the administration had for their case for war WAS A LIE.
The rest of your post is similarly skewed. You can't change the facts no matter how hard you bluster, Joe. The time line is well known now with the facts and documents to support it.
As for Bush's "attempts"... his focus was legacy, contributors and religious base not the actual welfare of the American people. Not to side track this too far, but are you saying that as long as someone tries it doesn't matter that it was poorly planned, pandered to special interests, inadequately funded and of dubious merit, those that initially wanted something done don't have a right to bitch that the wrong solution was implemented.
If I have an employee, and civil servants are, and they screwing something up repeatedly, I either tell them to get it right, or I fire them.
It is an established fact that Bush and company received reports from our own intelligence agencies that were in direct opposition to what the Cheney cabal would tell the republican led congress. And yet the 400 page work of frighten-the-masses-fiction used to justify a vote on going to war, was not received by most members in time to read it much less verify it's content before the unprecedented (that word comes up a lot with these guys) rush to vote.
So now, as a yellow-bellied politician of any stripe, you realize that this is one of those historic moments in history and you had better be on the right side of it, so they had to accept the only information they had available to them and make their choice. Not having read or fact checked the report Cheney submitted to congress, they made a CNN assessment. Only to find out later that it was COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!!!!!
This FACT is already part of our nation's permanent history. It's done, settled, found out, exposed. HE LIED, THEY LIED, and now you are LYING
