Contradictions:
1. Kerry's experience in the Senate qualifies him to be President BUT you should not consider his votes in the Senate as indications of policy.
2. Kerry's experience in Vietnam shows his great leadership and dedication to his country BUT you should forget he came back and accused the United States of engaging in war crimes.
3. Support coming from Kerry's former shipmates shows he is respected by all soldiers BUT you should ignore the soldiers who accuse him of war crimes and using self-inflicted wounds to get Purple Hearts.



Those aren't contradictions, they are all perfectly logical trains of thought. A contradiction is saying one thing then later saying the opposite -- like Kerry does most of the time.

1> You consider Bush being Governor as qualification, but don't consider that the Governor of Texas has no political power whatsoever.

2> A person can be a great leader in war but later say that there were war crimes committed -- they are not mutually exclusive.

2> And I don't think anyone said that Kerry was supported by all soldiers.
