The Junior Bush is a good example of what happens when you chart your life's course as the crow flies. However laudable his goals appear, you must occasionaly wind with the road or wind up in the ditch.

Ted, You make like redefining yourself is a bad thing. Are you the same as what you were when you were 15?

Of course not. Back then, I supported Dukakis, Clinton, higher taxes to fix the deficit, more social programs, more appeasement, universal health care, etc.

Want to know why I've changed since then? I guarantee you the reasons why are a lot deeper than the reasons guys like Gore and Kerry "flip."

A lot of the flips are not changes over the decades from one idea to another, but changes from one idea to another and then sometimes back that take place in a few years or sometimes a matter of months or maybe even quicker.

I do think the Kerry's flip-flops have been exaggerated by many on the right. That's the nature of the political process. One side will always exaggerate the negatives of the other side. But there is a reality there to exaggerate and not just the usual reality that all politicians tend to be evasive or shifting in their policy statements.
