See..
when bush changes his mind, it's actually leadership and taking in opposing viewpoints as a way of making the correct and best decision...
Or, he just says oops, i didn't do that, we'll never talk of it again. Or it's "Hi, i did some things in my youth that i dont want to discuss bc i don't want my daughters to get the wrong ideas"
Or, basically, this is the only past we've ever had and will ever have. The previous pasts we've had before do not exist anymore as this is the past we've always had. We have and will always be at war with eurasia.
When kerry does it, he's waffling...
I do get sick at the way politicians are expected to be 1 tracked, to never make mistakes, to never change their minds, etc. it's sickening.
Strom thurmond, for example. Dude was part of the dixie crats, once said that it would take the entire force of the american army to make a black man and a white man sit beside each other on the bus. He changed, and brought an entire constituency with him, but in the end, 1 man said the country would be better off if we voted thurmond as president and bammo, 50 yrs of change is thrown out the window and a man's political career is downed by 1 statement pandering to a crowd....
The only constant is change. There are times when you make a decision and you stick with it, not bc you believe you are right, but bc it is absolutely the right thing to do. It is right to push for equal treatment. It is not right to push for a war on a false premise.
