Have you ever changed your mind once you found out more facts about a subject? Would it be fair to call you a flip-flopper? What if you never changed your mind and rigidly held a viewpoint from cradle to grave-would that be a trait to be proud of? Is it a flip flop to be against nation-building, as Bush was in 2000, and then invade another country? Is it a flip flop to be against the 911 commission, and then be for it? Is it a flip flop to be for additional mercury in our drinking water and then be against it? Is it a flip flop to be against the Iraq WMD investigation, and then be for it? Is it a flip flop to be for free trade, then for tariffs on steel, then be against them? Is it a flip flop to be for state’s rights for gay marriage, then be against it in favor of a national constitutional amendment? Is it a flip flop to be for “No Child Left Behind” but then not fund it properly? Is it a flip flop to say he’s ask for more money for the war after the November election, but then change his mind and ask for the money now? Is it a flip flop to say “Bin laden Dead or Alive” but then say “I don’t know where he is. I have no idea, and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." Bush apparently believes that if you repeat some phrase often enough, , some people will believe it without question or thought If flip-flopping is a bad thing, then we’re all bad, because everyone has changed his/her mind at some point on some issue-as has Bush.
