KRC Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Oh that's right, only Republicans are allowed to change their positions. When anyone who is not a compassionate conservative evaluates the facts and makes a [hopefully] informed decision to change their mind, it's flip-flopping. If the ruling party does it, it's because they are throughtful and open-minded. I guess the fact that this Administration held firm on its position to deny these rights for almost four years, in the face of strong opposition, UNTIL a COURT declared that military tribunals weren't legal and a little more "daylight" (not to mention sinking poll numbers) pushed their backs up against the wall has NOTHING to do with their backing down. It's just a coincidence that their intellect and conscience have just kicked in? Puh-LEASE. I know it's summer but ya gotta lay off the Kool-Aid. 721495[/snapback] You always know when an election is approaching. Debbie ratchets up the rhetoric.

Chilly Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The party has asked her respectively, for her to drop out, between the lines at least. She's also, told them, I believe. "!@#$ you, I don't need your money, I'll use my own" She's lost countless staff and advisers, because of this rift within the party. If no one with any name recognition doesn't come forward very soon, you may be right. 721502[/snapback] Yeah. I think the best shot of anyone else stepping up to the plate was when Jeb last month asked other people to run, because she is unable to win the general. No one did though.

This is simply a continuing theme of bigger and bigger government, brought to you by BOTH parties.

In the middle of a thread on (what is this thread about anyway?) cromagnum posts a random message as if it were breaking news. And unless you get your news only from the newspaper then something that happened over 8 hours ago is not breaking news, it's old. But that's just me.

blzrul Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 So when you voted for Bush in 2000, then changed your mind, was that flip-flopping or your intellect kicking in? 721523[/snapback] I didn't vote for Bush in 2000. Never said I did. I voted for him in TX in 1996. Having made a mistake and lived with it, I knew better next time. If that's flip-flopping then so be it. Oh now I see it, flip-flopping only has to do with VOTING, eh, not political positioning? Boy you guys come up with some teeny-tiny loopholes to justify your heroes' actions. I guess that's what comes from narrow, teeny-tiny little minds. Funny how you all start the personal attacks when you don't have a leg to stand on. I wouldn't expect anything less. You never disappoint - lowering the bar is a real art form for you. That is, lowering the bar for those who think like you - if you call what you do "thinking". The rest of the world (which is the majority, mind you) is held to a higher [double] standard. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Franklin Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Flip flop? People complain for years that the White House should reverse their position on an issue...then when they DO reverse their position on the issue, the same !@#$ing people complain that they reversed their position. Unreal... 721384[/snapback] Flip-flopping on an issue doesn't relieve the administration of its earlier ridiculous position on the Geneva Convention..

So I wouldn't say "ridiculous"...just self-serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
