I don't satisfy your necessary condition to answer this question. But just my $0.02.. FIRST 'apposite' is the correct word in this context. For those highly educated republicans who are pointing out this guy's spelling mistake, I say, how about expanding your vocabulary. There are more things in this world than those you know of. Just because you didn't know something doesn't mean it is wrong. Your mentality about this simple issue is so very representative of your attitude about other issues as well.
SECOND, "a wise man changes his mind sometimes, a fool never" -- old English saying. It takes tremendous courage and character to be able to say publicly, "I was wrong, I have changed my mind". Kerry has this courage. Republicans in general and their leader in specific, remind me of the poem The Village Schoolmaster by Oliver Goldsmith:
"In arguing too, the person own'd his skill,
For e'en though vanquish'd he could argue still"

Problem is, the very cornerstone of meaningful debate, that you could disagree with someone and there can be an independent arbiter to decide who has a better argument, has been shaken and pushed out of place. That cornerstone is what held America above the others.

You are out of line. I am (or was until I examined the whole immigration spp.gov thing) a Bush supporter. In any event, I am still a Kerry opposer.

However, I can agree with many things Kerry said. The point is that he was vague and said whatever he thought anyone would like to hear.

He said it. I just didn't trust it for a minute.

In 2004 McCain made multiple statements indicating that the conflict in Iraq must be over instantly and be received surely. In 2007 McCain says something to the theory that he continually suggested this would not be an surely received strive against. And that any individual who idea in the different case became being stupid. that's not in ordinary words the Iraq conflict he has been doing this with. I worry what's going to ensue if he easily partakes in talks with a overseas chief. He became a lot sharper in 2000. McCain makes those opposite statements each and each and every of the time acceptable this second. In 2000 i became delicate with him. i do not understand why the opposite statements are appearing this in a lot of circumstances with him. What must be worse, if that's planned, or unintentional? besides i'm a 30 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous male with a heart situation that no coverage company ought to insure. i want more suitable than purely emergency care to proceed to exist. McCain can provide no longer something to me. both democrat plans are conceivable.

September 23, 2001: John Kerry on CBS’ “Face The Nation”
BORGER: Do we have any information that chemical and biological attacks were part of this [September 11th]? We got news this morning about the crop-dusting manuals.
Sen. KERRY: No, at least I don't and not to my knowledge do any of my colleagues. But it is something that we know--for instance, Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction against his own people, and there is some evidence of their [terrorists] efforts to try to secure these kinds of weapons and even test them. That's why it's so vital that we get the global community to be part of this effort to begin to make their [terrorists] lives miserable. (Source: johnkerry.com)

July 29, 2002: Senator John Kerry, Speech To The 2002 DLC National Conversation, New York, NY
“I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq – Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations in 1991.” (Source: jim geraghty

September 6, 2002: John Kerry, Op-Ed, "We Still Have A Choice On Iraq," The New York Times
"If Saddam Hussein is unwilling to bend to the international community's already existing order, then he will have invited enforcement, even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act."

October 10, 2002: John Kerry on MSNBC’s “Hardball”
“I believe the record of Saddam Hussein’s ruthless, reckless breach of international values and standards of behavior is cause enough for the world community to hold him accountable by use of force if necessary.”

December 15, 2003: Fox News’ “Special Report,” Senator John Kerry said
“Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror. And therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that. And I disagree with the Governor [Howard Dean].”

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."
San Francisco Chronicle, March 21, 2004 pE2

"The United States of America never goes to war because we want to, we only go to war because we have to."
Acceptance Speech at Democratic National Convention, July 29, 2004

I agree with this statement:

“The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation.” John Kerry, October 9, 2002.

John Kerry is some one who I voted for he might had turned the war in focus in a another way but Kerry made a mistake by talking
in a two sided versions of what he voted for and sorry what he had voted in the war with Iraq I can say on the debates Kerry had Bush on a lot of issues that Kerry tried to use against him. used his daughter on Dick Cheeny with his daughter being gay. I am a person that did not agree with the Iraq war and the issues were and is on Oil that Bush went there for to protect everyone Iintrest from everybodys hear say saids that so it is true not negitive 9/11 was the tip of using Military musle and might to use force on a weak country as of Iraq and to secure its borders with Iran to them knowing what is going on in there country using Iranium to use against Iraq and its allies

Since liberals are so pompous and arrogant that they love to correct spelling, I feel that it is my duty as a conservative to inform you that YOU have spelled OPPOSITE wrong.

I never remember Kerry taking a stance on anything. He mostly ran as the alternative to Bush. And took both sides on every issue in one sentence. I agree with him that he voted for the war, but then he said he voted against it in the same sentence. So I guess that is one. Although he since said that it was the biggest mistake of his career, so I am not really sure.

I agree that he needed botox injections, but then he took them out. He can not stay on one side of something long enough for me to agree or disagree with him.

Opposite, no "a." I understand your frustration with opposite posting, however, this is a loaded question. No one can disagree with everything that Kerry says no more than everything that Bush says. Only people with small brains and no life would do so.

I think most Bush supporters never actually bothered in finding out anything about Kerry himself, they were too busy going to their countless anti Kerry sources, they only bothered to listen to the Kerry bashers than actually listen to the man himself.

Bush and Kerry are cousins ,who went to the same school and who follow orders from the same financial elite

they may sound different .but they follow the same Agenda.
their opposotion is a circus for the sake of the public
