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.

you see how galt and others have nothing to say about bush's flip flops, instead they go into character assassination mode, it must be in some limbaugh book of conservative survival. :roll:

more lies and deceptions by president beat around the bush from the dailykos:

1) Bush went around the country in 2000 saying that if he were president he would talk to the oil producers and get them to reduce prices. He felt that they would agree to his request because they 'owed' the US due to the Iraq war in 1991. Now, with gas prices well in excess to what they were in 2000, he says not a word.

2) He campaigned for tax cuts in 2000/2001 because the economy was doing so well and we needed to spend our surplus. Then he comes out later and says he had "inherited a recession".

3) LIE: During the 2000 campaign, he said he passed a Patient's Bill of Rights in Texas, but in reality it passed over his veto.
