Did George Bush flip flop when he said the US shouldn't be involved in nation building?
Is George Bush a flip flopper by supporting a balanced budget AMENDMENT to the Constitution, while posting the largest budget deficit this year in our nation's history?
Did Dick Cheney flip flop when he said gay marriage is an issue for the states?
I could go on for awhile here too...
times and circumstances, and political pressures change. And so do people's views as a result of all of those. Persons whose views don't change in response to changing realities tend to be idiots.
Don't forget about probably his biggest flip flop Voro!
Fighting the 9/11 commission happening for around 2 years. Saying it's not necessary, then deciding that the commission had some good suggestions and saying he's probably going to take some of them.

I agree - But George Bush's view on it never changed (unless you count after the commission was done), the only reason the 9/11 commission ended up happening is because the families of victims started getting upset.
You have to be kidding. John Kerry tossed his medals to help stop a war that was pointless, he was one of *MANY* who helped stop that war.
He was one of many veterans who came together in washington (April of 1971), who had decided that the last resort they had, to try to wake the country up and tell it what was happening in Vietnam as well as what was happening at home to men who were veterans. Was to renounce the symbols which this country gives which supposidely reinforces the things they had done.
So they decided to give back those symbols. A lot of people were shocked by it, a lot of people thought it was the wrong thing to do. It basically reached the country, in telling them that the veterans who came back were against the war. They didn't consider themselves the best men of america, they didn't like what was being done, and they didn't like what was being done in america's name.
That is John Kerry's explanation as to why he did what he did.
Akaran of Mistmoore, formerly Akaran of Veeshan I know I'm good at what I do, but I know I'm not the best.
But I guess that on the other hand, I could be like the rest.
Half of us will be liberated. The other half will be pissed off.
Give or take a few %'s.
