Bush Flip/Flops - documented?
On the way home this afternoon I was listening to greg knapp on klif570, our local white house public information dissemination radio station...

all he could do was go on about Kerry's flip/flops on various issues intimating that changing his mind makes him a liar. We know that they've all done it to some extent.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has actually documented Bush* 's lies...something along the lines of he said this, but did this...you all know what I mean.

If anyone has a source, or website that documents this they might want to share them here, oh...and share them with greg at greg@klif.com

I wouldn't want him to be too uninformed...

:evilgrin:

2. Flippy the Flip Flopper!!!
OK, that's a "Saturday Night Live" joke aimed at John Kerry, and it's pretty fuckin' funny. I saw an opening, and I went for it!!

:D

Anyhoo, yes, Bush's flip-flops are numerous, and diligently documented. Not by me, of course. I'm only using this thread to propel my personal brand of political humor. :D

Although, I will propose the un-linked following, just because these quotes are well-known and beyond obvious::

"I am a Compassionate Conservative."

"I am a uniter, not a divider."

"I don't believe in nation-building."

# Bush is against a Homeland Security Department; then he's for it.
# Bush is against a 9/11 commission; then he's for it.
# Bush is against an Iraq WMD investigation; then he's for it.
# Bush is against nation building; then he's for it.
# Bush is against deficits; then he's for them.
# Bush is for free trade; then he's for tariffs on steel; then he's against them again.
# Bush is against the U.S. taking a role in the Israeli Palestinian conflict; then he pushes for a "road map" and a Palestinian State.
# Bush is for states right to decide on gay marriage, then he is for changing the constitution.
# Bush first says he'll provide money for first responders (fire, police, emergency), then he doesn't.
# Bush first says that 'help is on the way' to the military ... then he cuts benefits
# Bush-"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. Bush-"I don't know where he is. I have no idea and I really don't care.
# Bush claims to be in favor of the environment and then secretly starts drilling on Padre Island.
# Bush talks about helping education and increases mandates while cutting funding.
# Bush first says the U.S. won't negotiate with North Korea. Now he will
# Bush goes to Bob Jones University. Then say's he shouldn't have.
# Bush said he would demand a U.N. Security Council vote on whether to sanction military action against Iraq. Later Bush announced he would not call for a vote
# Bush said the "mission accomplished" banner was put up by the sailors. Bush later admits it was his advance team.

10. Why doesn't Kerry
use some of these flip flops? The association of Kerry and flip flopping is obviously working, and he needs to fight back with the numerous Bush flip flops. I don't get why he's just taking this.
