Flip-Floppers United

Might as well group all politicians into that category of "flip-flopper." Name me one politician who hasn't done that. It'd be like naming one NBA basketball player who hasn't complained of a foul call. They all do it at one time or another, regardless of how intensely they deny it.

That was the Republicans main argument on not voting for Kerry in the 2004 election. He was a major "flip-flopper." He was a "flip-flopper" when it came to the issue of abortion and to the war on terror (war in Iraq, particularly). Yeah, Kerry has flip-flopped at times. But, again, name me one politician who hasn't.

Look at Bush. He's flip-flopped a time or two or eighty-six (but who's counting?). He's flip-flopped on such issues as gays' rights, the war, and immigration. He went from wanting to add an amendment to the constitution banning gay marriage to coming out (not literally) and saying, while he didn't believe gays should have the right to be married, they should have the rights of a heterosexual couple (excluding the marriage aspect of it). Do I even have to mention the flip-flops concerning the war? Yeah, what's the reason to go to war in Iraq? They have weapons of mass destruction. Then, no, they don't have WMD's, but they have all the materials to make weapons of mass destruction. Then, it goes to, they have the capability of making weapons of mass destruction. Let's not forget how he linked Al Qaeda and Bin Laden to Iraq and Saddam Hussein. After all those attempts were discovered to be false, they went for the safety route and claimed that we were there to spread freedom and democracy in the Middle East. Now, with immigration. At first, Bush was against putting up that fence along the border. On Monday night, he said that we'd send 6,000 National Guard troops to protect the border. That received mixed reviews from the GOP and the U.S. citizens. Today, Bush made it known that he now supports fencing along the border.

Yeah, and Kerry was bad? Yeah flip-flopped on the Iraq war, because, he thought the administration was being honest to he and the rest of the public. Then, when the accusations proved to be false, he changed his mind regarding the situation.

Bush has changed his mind regarding immigration three times in the past week. Yeah, okay.

Day 1- I support abortion.
Day 4- I support abortion only in cases of health, incest, and rape.
Day 7- I'm against abortion.

Can Bush actually think for himself? Wait, no need to answer that. Unfortunately, most of us know the answer to that. Bush doesn't, because, well, you get the point.

Republican J.D. Hayworth flew Air Force One with the president and gave Dubya a copy of his book (Hayworth's, not Bush's, of course) about the immigration threat. I only wonder who will read it to him and if he's allowed milk and cookies during the session.

Will this boost up his approval amongst conservatives or have conservatives just stopped believing the guy almost as much as liberals? We'll see. Again, I'm guessing that his approval ratings go up slightly.
