“Flip-flop and inconsistent”
The Kerry campaign is now trying to paint the President as a “Flip Flopper” and “inconsistent”.
Er….sounds like they’re employing the old playground strategy of
“I am rubber you are glue, everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you”
The Bush campaign was smart and came out of the gates and successfully labled and defined Kerry in the public’s mind. Hence Kerry’s label a a flip-flopper (heck, he got that label during the primary–and not the GOP).
So I think it’s a pretty desperate move for the democrats to start labeling Bush as a flip-flopper (which when compared to their candidate, Bush pales in comparison.) And as for inconsistent, this is the president who you previously labled as “stubborn” because of his consistency on certain issues.
You can’t win with some people…can you?
An aside: Ed Gillespie and Terry McAuliffe are arguing on TV right now. McAuliffe is a total blowhard.
A McAuliffe quote: “We can’t have someone in the WH who changes policy based on the headlines and poll numbers on a daily basis”–didn’t Dick Morris say Clinton often made decisions based on poll numbers during his terms? Go figure….
If Bush spent less time with the redundant “Karry is a floopper” perhpas he could spend the money feeding those in our world who can’t guarantee 3 meals a day. Put the important stuff ahead of your conservatism. Which matters @ end of the day for everyone?

Huh? First off it’s Congress (specifically the House) who has “power of the purse”. Second, our gov’t gives plenty in foreign aid every year, and I’m sure the President and his family generously donate to charity.
