This is not a flip flop.  This is a off the cuff on the fly in an 
effort to spit out what you can in 30 seconds.

There was a ton of overtone to that, Kerry was quite hard trying to 
separate the war in iraq, with the people fighting.  Meanwhile the 
blinking boy was doing everything he could to conjoin the two - which 
is exactly why Vietnam is still a festering wound 35 years later.

This flip flop BS has got to go.   Someone changing their mind after 
learning more about the solution is a sign of strong leadership.

Bush is Rainman if Kerry is a flip flopper.

Weapons of mass destruction...yeah....four o'clock...yeah....Saddam 
Hussein lost to my daddy...yeah....what about Poland...yeah...

come on.

Not like I'm going to change your mind any more than you can mine.  I 
was quite fond of the 'Anyone but Bush' sign held up behind the CNN 
talking heads.   I'd probably vote republican if it was someone who 
stuck to the republican values vs. running up the deficit, invading my 
private life, and acting like the spoiled shit on the block in the 
neighborhood we call earth.
