BUSH FLIP FLOPS:
:1:
STEM CELL RESEARCH
President Bush can't seem to figure out if he is fororagainst the sanctity of life. He opposed stem cell research, saying that it is an abomination...but existing stem cell lines could still be used. I guess he thinks that existing abominations don't have any life in his view, but new ones that could be made do.

During the 2000 campaign, Bush appeared on ABC?s This Week. As reported by Rich Lowry of the National Review, George Will asked Bush a direct question:
WILL: In which case, would you veto the McCain-Feingold bill, or the Shays-Meehan bill?
BUSH: That's an interesting question. I ? I ? yes I would?
FLIP FLOP: Once in office, Bush flipped flopped and signed the McCain-Feingold bill into law

ABORTION FLIP FLOP
When you [BUSH] ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1978 in Texas, you gave an interview to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper. You were asked about your position on abortion, and this is how that newspaper reported your answer: "Bush said he opposes the pro-life amendment [which would outlaw abortion] and favors leaving up to a woman and her doctor the abortion question." Sixteen years later, when you ran for governor in Texas in 1994, you campaigned as an antiabortion conservative. Few people seem to realize your position on abortion changed 180 degrees. Please tell us, when did you change your view on abortion and why?

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FLIP FLOP
When the University of Michigan affirmative action cases were before the Supreme Court, the Bush administration filed a brief opposing the programs. Mr. Bush said that the ?method used by the University of Michigan ?is fundamentally flawed."
After the Supreme Court upheld the law school admissions program and reaffirmed that race can be one criterion in such decisions, CNN reported that Mr. Bush said he was ?happy the nation's highest court recognized the value of diversity.?<--NOW HE LIKES THAT THEY FAVORED THE RACE CRITERIA?

During the 2000 campaign, Then Governor Bush appeared on Larry King Live. King asked Bush, "If a state were voting on gay marriage, you would suggest to that state not to approve it?"
Bush took the states right approach, responding ?the state can do what they want to do.? Now, of course, Bush wants a constitutional amendment to make sure that states can not do anything they want.
