Reply #66: And here is Kerry's UNEDITED statement today [View All]

[YouMustBeKiddingMe]

"Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in his own statement: "I believe and have fought for the principle that we should protect the fundamental rights of gay and lesbian couples — from inheritance to health benefits. I believe the right answer is civil unions. I oppose gay marriage and disagree with the Massachusetts Court's decision.

What's the difference? Kerry's support for civil unions is absolute as well, and he didn't wait until it was politically advantageous to take a stand like Dean did

Again, I think you are creating an issue that does not exist. Kerry CLEARLY has a long history and exemplary record of standing FOR, and working FOR, equal rights AND protections for gays.

Your pre-existing bias is GLARING.

This whole exercise is nothing but sour grapes because Dean did not breeze through the primaries like you and his supporters expected him to, and your ire is targeted at Kerry for no other reason than because he is the front runner, and the "perceived" usurper of Dean's throne.

This is childish.
