Note his words: “I am supportive of the death penalty.” The Weekly Standard reports that the senator\u2019s stand on the death penalty has “evolved.” Quote: “For years, Kerry opposed capital punishment in all cases. In 1996, during a debate with Massachusetts governor William Weld, who was challenging Kerry for his Senate seat, Kerry said Weld\u2019s support of capital punishment for terrorists ‘would amount to a terrorist protection policy.\u2019 Kerry\u2019s position, on the other hand, ‘would put them in jail.'”<\/line>In 2002, Kerry flipped again, telling Tim Russert: “I am for the death penalty for terrorists because terrorists have declared war on your country,” but cautioned he opposed it “in the criminal justice system because I think it\u2019s applied unfairly.” Time magazine reports: “‘John Kerry never met a side of an issue he didn\u2019t like,\u2019 says Dean spokesman Jay Carson. And it is true that some positions have changed….” Expect Kerry to keep changing his positions, and then say, “They know I\u2019m for this.” That\u2019s what he\u2019s going to have to do, because he cannot stand on his voting record. <\/line>Kerry\u2019s going to have to come up with a slithery way to explain some of those votes, and he\u2019ll do so by saying he\u2019s “changed his mind.” He\u2019ll probably say, “Well, since I\u2019m now running for president, I\u2019m not just a senator, and I have to look at these things a little differently. They know what I\u2019m thinking out there. They know what I\u2019m going to do. They\u2019re going to try to distort this.” This is going to be his typical modus operandi. You wait and see.<\/line><\/p>\n
