What I have a problem with is people who try to dress up something that was an act of naked political calculation as something other than what it was.
I agree with you that Kerry voted for the IWR out of a sense of political expediency and naked calculation, rather than having been honestly decieved by a semi-articulate chimpanzee. I personally think that it might have been better for him politically if he had made a principled vote rather than a purely calculated one.
There are many American voters who do not find naked political opportunism to be an attractive quality, and don't feel strongly motivated to vote for it.
