Flippin'

The main charge by the Bush campaign is that Kerry flip flops on issues. Well, take a look at this handy dandy chart by the Center for American Progress to see that Bush has done an even better impression of beach footwear.

My personal favorite, given its current timeliness, is this one:

BUSH PROMISES TO FORCE OPEC TO LOWER PRICES..."What I think the president ought to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price." [President Bush, 1/26/00]

...BUSH REFUSES TO LOBBY OPEC LEADERS With gas prices soaring in the United States at the beginning of 2004, the Miami Herald reported the president refused to "personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds." [Miami Herald, 4/1/04]


And their chart doesn't even include Bush's flip-flop on the Patient's Bill of Rights, which, of course, died in conference in 2002.
