Ted, Excuse me but both the flips and the flops came from either Bush or the WH.

OK, let's take #1:

1. Social Security Surplus

BUSH PLEDGES NOT TO TOUCH SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS... "We're going to keep the promise of Social Security and keep the government from raiding the Social Security surplus." [President Bush, 3/3/01]

...BUSH SPENDS SOCIAL SECURITY SURPLUS The New York Times reported that "the president's new budget uses Social Security surpluses to pay for other programs every year through 2013, ultimately diverting more than $1.4 trillion in Social Security funds to other purposes." [The New York Times, 2/6/02]


The "flop" is an "analysis" by the NY Times, not a conflicting statement from the Bush administration. If anything, it's a promise not kept, not a flip-flopping of position.

(And if you think about it, how do you flip-flop on Social Security? Say you're for raiding the SS fund before you're against it?)

But I'll take this as proof that you're willing to stretch enormous distances just to cover for Kerry's true flip-flops.
