I think I owe it to myself to look into printing a T with the following on it, to balance out the flip flops:
| Quote: |
Kerry isn't a bigot
Kerry isn't a threat to abortion
Kerry isn't a threat to the environment
Kerry hopefully will balance the budget a little better than shrub is able to
Kerry will be more involved with the international community
Kerry won't push some religious agenda down my throat
Kerry hopefully will scrap the No Child Left Behind act
Kerry hopefully will push against the civil rights violations in the Patriot Act
Kerry isn't a threat to gay marriage nor pissing all over states rights.
Kerry can say "nuclear" correctly
With Kerry, we won't have to worry about anymore opportunistic pre-emptive wars being started
Rummy, Cheney, Ashcroft, and Coni White Rice, will be out the door
Of course, "can't AWOL" doesn't compare to 3 purple hearts!
Kerry will take away the tax cuts that favor the rich.

And by that are you suggesting that Bush is the "I mean what I say" man that he purports to be?
I suggest you visit www.flipfloppingbush.com. Gee, I wonder why such a site exists. Hmm...
A friend did a brief google search the other day and came up with the following, for starters
| Quote: |
FLIP-FLOP! condi can testify!
| Quote: |
White House U-turn on 9/11 inquiry
The White House has bowed to pressure to allow National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to testify in public and under oath to the 9/11 commission.
President George W Bush said it would help give Americans "a complete picture" of events leading to the attacks on 11 September 2001.
The offer has been made on condition that it will not set a precedent.
Previously, officials had insisted that Ms Rice could only meet the commission in private for unsworn conversations. |

FLIP-FLOP! release the doc!
| Quote: |
Bush U-turn on Bin Laden evidence
Members of the Bush administration have cast doubt on a plan to issue a document containing evidence linking Osama Bin Laden to the recent attacks on the United States.
The idea was suggested by the American Secretary of State, Colin Powell, on Sunday. But a matter of hours later President Bush failed to endorse it.
Washington seems to have had a swift change of heart on this important issue. |

FLIP ME! it turns out we are causin' the world to dun get hott... wait, are we? FLOP ME!
| Quote: |
Tom Brokaw set up the Tuesday NBC Nightly News follow up story: “Back in Washington tonight, this story. Yesterday the Bush administration appeared to be making a major change and acknowledging that global warming is caused by human pollution. Tonight, another U-turn in the other direction.”
From the White House, David Gregory explained: “This is the second reversal in two days on global warming. Yesterday, as you say, for the first time the Bush administration, in a report to the United Nations, conceded that human beings, by releasing pollutants into the air, are largely to blame for global warming and its environmental consequences. Well today, the President dismissed that very report written by his own Environmental Protection Agency, saying quote: 'I read the report put out by the bureaucracy,’ suggesting there’s still some uncertainty on all of this...”
Instead of using the terms “acknowledging” and “conceded,” if NBC did not accept the liberal environmentalist line as beyond dispute they could have used other terms. Look at the change in meaning by altering those words to: “Yesterday the Bush administration appeared to be making a major change and claiming that global warming is caused by human pollution.” And, “the Bush administration, in a report to the United Nations, charged that human beings, by releasing pollutants into the air, are largely to blame for global warming.”
Gregory proceeded to note that Bush also repeated his opposition to Kyoto, before Gregory credited or blamed Rush Limbaugh: “Now the President, of course, received a lot of political flak from conservatives, mainly talk show host Rush Limbaugh, over yesterday’s reports so today, while White House aides were not interested in getting into the debate over what causes global warming, they did emphasize that the Bush approach is a voluntary one.” |

FLIPPIN' UN!!!!
| Quote: |
| That the cost of the occupation is rising to $4 billion a month—at a time when the American economy is weak and registering record trade and budget deficits—poses more serious problems for the President on the eve of an electoral year. These domestic political considerations, together with the necessity to convince the allies to send additional troops, explain the administration's U-turn at the United Nations last week. Colin Powell announced that the Americans were finally ready to sacrifice at least part of their control over Iraq for international support. |

NK, get ready for da FLIPSIDE!!!
| Quote: |
After more than two years of trying to isolate North Korea, the Bush Administration is preparing to offer Pyongyang diplomatic relations, security guarantees, and other concessions - if it agrees to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, diplomats say.
The approach marks an important policy shift towards the member of President George Bush's "axis of evil". The Bush White House dropped the Clinton administration's carrot-and-stick approach, preferring to stand firm against North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, whom it accused of violating a 1994 agreement to freeze Pyongyang's weapons program. |

Iraq council: flippin' heck!
| Quote: |
US makes U-turn on Iraq council
A planned Iraqi assembly to elect an interim council was quashed by US officials this week.
BAGHDAD – Nearly two months since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, US authorities here say they will personally select 25 to 30 Iraqis to staff an interim political council. The new process is a detour from earlier plans to assemble a large convention of Iraqis who would democratically choose a new generation of leaders and decide the shape of their future government. |

Bush does U-turn on cheap HIV drugs
by Gus Cairns
In an apparent U-turn, the U.S. government has said it will fast-track the approval of cheap HIV drugs for use in the developing world. This will include "pirate" generic versions of branded drugs -- something the administration was previously bitterly opposed to -- including generic combined formulations designed for easy use. One such combination is Triomune(R), a combination of d4T, 3TC and nevirapine -- three drugs which in the west are made and sold by three different companies -- but which is sold widely in the developing world by Indian generics firm Cipla. |

what's so strong it NEVER flips or flops? STEEL!!! (unless you're Bush)
| Quote: |
President George W Bush has repealed US tariffs on imported steel to avoid a damaging trade war.
The decision follows a World Trade Organisation decision that the duties, imposed in March 2002, are illegal. |

those flippin' palestinians!
| Quote: |
Abstract: America belatedly acknowledged the potential fallout from the Israeli missile strike that killed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin yesterday, only criticising the assassination hours after branding the Hamas leader a "terrorist".
The abrupt reversal in Washington's response to the most devastating strike on the Palestinian leadership in years was a stark illustration of the divisions within the Bush administration on Middle East policy. |

American u-turn on talks with Palestinians
The Bush administration yesterday attempted further damage control in the Middle East, ending a months-long boycott of the Palestinian leadership to offer surprise talks with the prime minister. |
http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1212251,00.html
landmines, they're no flop!
| Quote: |
S Bishops regret Bush U-turn on landmines ban
The Catholic Bishops have responded to the US Government's decision to pull back on its earlier commitment to join more than 150 other nations in banning the use of antipersonnel landmines in war zones.
The US has decided to continue to use the weapons indefinitely, but to switch to landmines that become inert within hours or days after they are planted. It also plans to expand its leadership role in aiding the victims of landmines. |
http://www.cathnews.com/news/403/27.php
These are from the first 10 pages of a google search. considering the amount of repetition, there's a fair few, wouldn't you say?
Now - why did I post this?
It is categorically NOT because I hate america, freedoms, or just enjoy having a good Bush-bash! I posted to highlight the fact that:
1) Every leader of every political party changes their mind on certain issues. Rigid ideological inflexibility is what separates the dictatorial from the consensual.
2)If you call Kerry a flip-flopper, you best be prepared to enjoy a glassful of your Own Brand Medicine TM. |
And to think that this started off as a humorous thread. Sheesh! Remind me not to try that again.

I never said anything about Bush Flip Flopping...I just asked if Kerry has taken a clear position on any issue. No where did I say or imply that the Bush Administration has never changed their position on an issue. However, thanks for the research.

Kerry said he threw his medals, then he said he threw someone else's medals, they he said he threw his ribbons, then he said medals and ribbons were absolutely interchangable back then. Wow!
