Those Two-Faced Democrats
Jonah Goldberg ably chronicles the inability of the Democratic presidential candidates to say the same thing twice, particularly a revealing pair of letters, sent to the same person within nine days of one another:
Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition…to the early use of military force by the U.S. against Iraq. I share your concerns. On Jan. 11, I voted in favor of a resolution that would have insisted that economic sanctions be given more time to work and against a resolution giving the president the immediate authority to go to war.
And:
Thank you very much for contacting me to express your support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. From the outset of the invasion, I have strongly and unequivocally supported President Bush’s response to the crisis and the policy goals he has established with our military deployment in the Persian Gulf.
But then, this is the same candidate who for twenty years pretended to be an Irish Catholic in order to win votes.
