This is not entirely true. Kerry's infamous "I voted for it before I voted against it" thing...

There was an $87 billion bill that Kerry co-sponsored that provided the armor. The bill didn't pass - it would have reversed tax cuts. The $87 billion one he voted against - didn't reverse the tax cuts. The one Kerry co-sponsored...Bush threatened to veto it if it passed.

So while Kerry may have "voted for before voting against", Bush in the same manner, opposed it before he supported it.

But that seems to come with the territory for Bush...be against something until enough pressure causes him to change his mind (Rice testifying, Bush testifying, etc).
