Maybe not. I'm sure that Kerry's choice of alternate funding was politically motivated. In any event, that neither makes him a "flip-flopper" nor one who doesn't support the troops or the war effort.
Now my turn:
Answer me this: If GWB's core support was not based in large part upon people for whom _the_ defining political issue is how much money the government takes from them in taxes, would he have insisted on maintaining his tax cuts (and pressing to make them permanent) through Hell or High Water, i.e. from the evaporation of the projected "$1 trillion surplus", through the economic downturn, through funding two wars and two (inadequately funded) occupations/reconstructions, leading to the largest budget deficits in our history and projected trillions of dollars added to the national debt?
Or, does he just believe taxes are evil because the Bible tells him so?
