They Call Him Flipper
On Face the Nation September 14, 2003, John Kerry said voting against the $87 billion funding bill would be “irresponsible.”
On the Sept. 14, 2003, edition of CBS’s Face the Nation, Kerry spoke at length about an amendment he and Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., were offering which would have paid for the $87 billion by delaying some of the recent tax cuts.
Asked if he would vote against the $87 billion if his amendment did not pass, Kerry said, “I don’t think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That’s irresponsible.”
Then, a few weeks later, he voted against the $87 billion funding bill.
