elfenix, i'm showing these flip flops not show to bush as a bad person, but to show how trivial it is to show kerry's flip flops....i wouldnt even call most of these bush or kerry flip flops as so, they are usually either a changing of opinion or acquiescing to the current situation....however the republicans, with their "originality" are trying to portray this as some type of character flaw of unique to kerry, when if you look back far enough, all politicians do this "flip flopping", especially bush himself.
as for the aff. action case, im not saying that bush was wrong by changing his view on the issue, but if he really believed that the program in michigan was "fundamentally flawed", he wouldnt have come out with his PC answer about "diversity" after the decision. im not saying that he had to go against the decision, the least he could have done was to disagree and say that he was disappointed with it. im just showing that bush is a politician (the republicans would like you to believe that he is somehow above all this), but most of the time he is just spouting the party line, or whatever seems to be polling well, while not appearing to be too insensitive.
