re: The flip flop occurs when one changes their mind to pander to a particular audience, for example, what Kerry has done on the war. Or when you implement steel tarrifs to get support from a particular state, then rescind them when you realize that it is hurting you with your base. Rove is driving this bus, and you know it.

Because he was questioning where we'd get the money from to pay for it. This is idiotic. When you're at war, you come up with the money and ask questions later. This is why thinking people think the Left are so damned stupid. Brilliant.....coming from a GOP accountant. No wonder you all are fiscally irresponsible.

>Sure, I listened. I'm not sure what other meaning you could attach to it. Why don't you give us your interpretation? Sure. The "global test" is a "smell test." If an action could make sense to other liberal democracies (not countries like Cuba or Iran, as has been implied), then it's valid, except in cases of imminent danger. There was no imminent danger in the case of Iraq. >This is idiotic. When you're at war, you come up with the money and ask questions later. This is why thinking people think the Left are so damned stupid. I disagree. The administration could've forestalled its tax cuts to pay for the war, but it did not, because it needed to pander to its base. Kerry's vote made sense to me. -Z
