then you could make a flip-flop argument...
I guess my point is the way he said it, to me, he came off like he was taking multiple positions. I never said he was flip flopping that is a different thing but he is always saying Kerry is coming down on both sides of an issue in this case he came down on all four.

For example, I understand it is a issue on multiple fronts but for me when we are at war and under the attack of terrorist having 8K people a day coming illegally into this country is A. unacceptable and B. a security issue. I know that 7998 of them are coming here most likely to get a better life or because they are poor and see this as a land of opportunity and they won't do us any harm ( other than finacially ) but it's those 2 that I'm worried about. If it's me, I would say seal the borders. Put the national guard on them and if needed keep people out by force until we get a better solution in place.

I didn't say he flip flopped I'm just saying I thought it was funny the way he said it.
