    This is a totally illogical statement. The best rebuttal of this piss-poor assertion is that George Bush changed his stance on Homeland Security. He was against it just because a democrat proposed it, but then he supported it when he realised both republicans and democrats alike were supporting it. Pathetic.

    So what's better, a guy who changes his mind and admits that he was
    wrong in the past or a guy who will not change his opinion no matter how
    much is stacked against him?

    Yeah, like being steadfast, unwavering, staying the course while driving this country into a wall

    Default The list of Bush's flip flops

    The list of Bush major policy U-turns is as audacious as it is long. Among the whiplash-inducing lowlights:

    In September 2001, Bush said capturing bin Laden was “our number one priority.” By March 2002, he was claiming, “I don’t know where he is. I have no idea and I really don’t care. It’s not that important.”

    In October 2001, he was dead-set against the need for a Department of Homeland Security. Seven months later, he thought it was a great idea.

    In May 2002, he opposed the creation of the 9/11 Commission. Four months later, he supported it.

    During the 2000 campaign, he said that gay marriage was a states’ rights issue: “The states can do what they want to do.” During the 2004 campaign, he called for a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

    Dizzy yet? No? OK:

    Bush supported CO2 caps, then opposed them. He opposed trade tariffs, then he didn’t. Then he did again. He was against nation building, then he was OK with it. We’d found WMD, then we hadn’t. Saddam was linked to Osama, then he wasn’t. Then he was … sorta. Chalabi was in, then he was out. Way out.

    In fact, Bush’s entire Iraq misadventure has been one big costly, deadly flip-flop:

    We didn’t need more troops, then we did. We didn’t need more money, then we did. Preemption was a great idea — on to Syria, Iran and North Korea! Then it wasn’t — hello, diplomacy! Baathists were the bad guys, then Baathists were our buds. We didn’t need the U.N., then we did.

    And all this from a man who, once upon a time, made “credibility” a key to his appeal.
