Bush Flip-Flops

By Byron LaMasters

If Kerry would only repeat what he says in his Salon interview everytime the Bush administration accuses him of flip-flopping, he'll be in good shape:

I'll tell you what. What's really so craven about it is that they pick something that they implement badly and screw up, like Iraq or No Child Left Behind or the Patriot Act. And when you point out that they screwed it up, they say that you're "flip-flopping."

But they, on the other hand, break a promise to have no deficit, break a promise not to invade Social Security, break a promise to fund No Child Left Behind, break a promise to introduce the four-pollutant bill and move forward on the environment, break a promise to deal with the real health issues and prescription drugs, break a promise of humility in American foreign policy. I mean, you start running down the list -- I've never seen a grander array of flip-flops. This is the biggest "say one thing, do another" administration in modern history.

That's straight from the mouth of John Kerry. The entire interview is a must read for anyone that's unclear about where John Kerry is coming from in his campaign.

Good stuff.
