The real issue here, I think, is not whether Bush or Kerry can be called flip-floppers, but that Bush has effectively used this moniker to label Kerry, who has been ineffective in shaking it.
All intelligent people change their minds, and their positions, on some issues, at some time. The problem is when this is made out to be a deficit of personality.
Bush's campaign would make the Mad Hatter envious.
