We find amusement where we can. John Kerry, 2004:
"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it"
John Kerry, Senate testimony, 1971:
Mr. Kerry: Senator, we also know prior to this past year the House used to meet in the Committee of the Whole and the Committee of the Whole would make the votes, and votes not of record and people would file through, and important legislation was decided then, and after the vote came out and after people made their hacks and cuts, and the porkbarrel came out, the vote was reported and gave them an easy out and they could say "Well, I voted against this." And actually they voted for it all the time in the committee.
Some of us know that this is going on. So I would say there are problems with it.
Does that count as a flip-flop?
33-year flip-flops don't count -- too much hang time.

Actually, Kerry voted for the $87 billion if it was funded the honest way (namely, by a tax increase on the taxpayers who could most afford it) and against it if it was funded the dishonest way (namely, by piling it onto the deficit). Regardless of what you think of his policies, it's a wee bit hard to see how this is a logical contradiction on his part.

Kerry undoubtedly made the same stipulation for every spending bill he voted for-- and therefore voted against them all later. Honest guy that he is.
