Throw the Latte Liberal label at him, and Kerry will counter with his support for faith-based programs and welfare reform and the fact that he proposed a dividend tax cut long before Bush did. "They're going to have a hard time pinning that to me," Kerry once told TIME. "They're not going to find it is easy making me something I'm not."
