Don’t those flyover country hicks understand nuance?

In Shullsburg, Wis., Kerry's bus stopped so he could greet some well-wishers along the road, and a man asked Kerry about his vote against funding body armor for U.S. troops. Kerry says the charge was a distortion of his record.

"It's killing you in this area," the man said.

Kerry moved on to shake more hands, but turned back and told him, "I'd never leave those troops without their body armor, you know that."
He didn’t really vote against the funding for body armor, except when he did, but so he could change the policy… of sending body armor to soldiers. Vietnam!
