Throughout this campaign the republicans gleefully attacked Kerry for "flip flopping" - changing his mind on issues.
Today the republicans decided to abolish their internal rule that says any member of the house in a leadership position must relinquish that position if he is indicted for a crime that could carry 2 or more years in jail. They did this, of course, because it's looking like Tom Delay might just get such an indictment.
The interesting part is that this rule is one the republicans dreamed up to prove that they were more ethical than the democrats. They seem to have. . changed their mind.
How is this not a flip flop? To the republican supporters on here, how can you reconcile this flip flop with the fact that your party just spent over a year mocking Kerry for flip flopping, and saying that flip flopping is a bad thing?
This should be interesting
