Spot on Sir. Spot on.
No matter how you slice it ALL POLITICIANS are 'flip-floppers' as it were. You have to be to survive.
Not all flip-flops, are however, hypocracy, like this one is.
The flip-flop label applied to Kerry was a brilliant campaigning stunt, that caught on and stuck like glue to ole Jean-Francios ;-)
I propose we get past this term, as Kerry supporters didn't like it during the campaign, and call this what it is:
Pure umitigated hubris, gaul, and hypocracy.
Not to discount the probable political motivation of the possible endictment, the unredistricting shepharded by Delay (and the apparent improper, possibly illegal use of the FAA to track down the fleeing democrats from the texas legislature), and the unlikelyhood, regardless of indictment, of any conviction of Delay. He is afterall a high level government operative and they are almost never held to task for the crimes THEY ALL commit.
