No I do not remember. I am not saying you are wrong, but perhaps

Regardless, what is wrong with him deciding to join in with

Nope, things change, especially when dealing with international

Would you rather that a President have one and only one way to deal

From your favorite news source




http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148304,00.html

"The United States has refused to get involved in the bargaining
with Tehran or to make commitments about incentives, insisting
that Tehran abandon its program."


Thank you for the link. And what makes you think that Fox is my
favorite news source? Just because I am a political conservative?
Again, another attempted slam on your part. Can you discuss things
without the attempted personal attacks Jimcomma?

OK -- what IS your favorite news source? Tell the world.


I don't have a favorite. Why do I have to?






http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N03564569.htm

Supporting Europe on the incentives would mark a significant shift
in strategy for Bush, who has been reluctant to consider them
before to avoid being seen as rewarding Iran for bad behavior.


Great. Bush is doing good....eh?

I'll give him this one




During his first term Bush branded Iran part of an "axis of evil,"
along with North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq.


Nothing has changed. Your point is?

Now maybe we should negotiate with N Korea?


We already are.






And Tehran has been an antagonist of Washington since the 1979
Iranian revolution and the seizure that year of more than 60
hostages in the U.S. Embassy in a crisis that lasted 444 days.



Correct. And that would include Carter and Clinton during those
years, as it would Bush Sr and Jr, and Reagan

Your point is?



The question asked was "is this a flip or a flop? Bush made a big
issue of flip flopping during the campaign.


No it was not a flip flop. One *has* to remain flexible when dealing
with international politics. One has to, however, remain true to
their core beliefs.

Bush has, remained consistent with his core beliefs, including with
the war on terror, fixing social security, fixing the tax code,
abortion, tort reform and believing that forceful action will
sometimes be called for in his dealing with other countries.

Kerry on the other hand changed his core beliefs on abortion,

Yes, Kerry deserved the title of flip flop king.

Yep, perhaps biased against Kerry. But what specifically is untrue in
what they say?

Oh, what the hell.

Here you go:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in646435.shtml


“We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know
today," Kerry said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” "Knowing
there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons
of mass destruction, knowing there was no connection of Saddam Hussein
to al Qaeda, I would not have gone to war. That's plain and simple."

Like (as?) I said -- he was deceived.


http://washingtontimes.com/national/...5616-3546r.htm


In that same speech, he vowed to round up all the unguarded nuclear
material in the world within four years, mainly through negotiations. In
another speech, Mr. Kerry promised to name a national coordinator to
combat bioterrorism.



http://mediamatters.org/items/200407060009 (includes clips from CNN)


While CNN considered these relatively innocuous comments a "classic"
flip-flop, the network has ignored much more significant "flip-flops" by
President George W. Bush. As just one example, in a June 22 article
about the Supreme Court's rejection of state laws that give patients in
managed care the right to sue insurance companies for damages, The New
York Times noted:


http://www.nationalreview.com/kerry/waffles.asp


YASSER ARAFAT [07/14 09:52 AM]

FIRST HE SAID: "Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas
may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from
outlaw to statesman.... [Terrorists] whose only object is to disrupt
society require no such 'role models' as Arafat."

— The New War, by John Kerry, published June 1997

THEN HE SAID: "Obviously, Yasser Arafat has been an impediment to the
peace process... As far as I'm concerned, he's an outlaw to the peace
process."

— John Kerry, interview with the Associated Press, March 10, 2004

(A lot can happen in 7 years)

This is no more than a message board for partisan comments, by

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=40491


The apparent flip-flops were noted by the American Family Association, a
group battling against moves to establish same-sex marriage.

Yeah, right. They are both politicians . . . Perhaps, if you would
define core beliefs.

How about abortion?

http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20000703&s=corn

How about gay marriage?

BUSH SAYS GAY MARRIAGE IS A STATE ISSUE... "The state can do what they
want to do. Don't try to trap me in this state's issue like you're trying
to get me into." [Gov. George W. Bush on Gay Marriage, Larry King Live,
2/15/00]

..BUSH SUPPORTS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BANNING GAY MARRIAGE "Today I call
upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for
ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting
marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife." [President
Bush, 2/24/04]

How about nation building?

BUSH OPPOSES NATION BUILDING... "If we don't stop extending our troops all
around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a
serious problem coming down the road." [Gov. George W. Bush, 10/3/00]

....BUSH SUPPORTS NATION BUILDING "We will be changing the regime of Iraq,
for the good of the Iraqi people." [President Bush, 3/6/03]

Then there is the 256,000 hits on google for "Bush flip flop".

conservative? Again, another attempted slam on your part. Can
you discuss things without the attempted personal attacks
Jimcomma?

OK -- what IS your favorite news source? Tell the world.


I don't have a favorite. Why do I have to?

Supporting Europe on the incentives would mark a significant
shift in strategy for Bush, who has been reluctant to consider
them before to avoid being seen as rewarding Iran for bad
behavior.


Great. Bush is doing good....eh?

I'll give him this one





During his first term Bush branded Iran part of an "axis of
evil," along with North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq.


Nothing has changed. Your point is?

Now maybe we should negotiate with N Korea?


We already are.







And Tehran has been an antagonist of Washington since the 1979
Iranian revolution and the seizure that year of more than 60
hostages in the U.S. Embassy in a crisis that lasted 444 days.



Correct. And that would include Carter and Clinton during
those years, as it would Bush Sr and Jr, and Reagan

Your point is?



The question asked was "is this a flip or a flop? Bush made a
big issue of flip flopping during the campaign.


No it was not a flip flop. One *has* to remain flexible when
dealing with international politics. One has to, however, remain
true to their core beliefs.

Bush has, remained consistent with his core beliefs, including
with the war on terror, fixing social security, fixing the tax
code, abortion, tort reform and believing that forceful action
will sometimes be called for in his dealing with other countries.

Kerry on the other hand changed his core beliefs on abortion,

the war on terror,
He was deceived by Bush, rice, et all
troop funding,
Again deceived


Bull**** and a lame excuse.

Go to this link for other support of my claims on his flip flops.

http://www.nojohnkerry.org/kerryhtml/flipflops.htm

The fact remains that Kerry constantly changed his core beliefs and
Bush hasn't.

Yes, Kerry deserved the title of flip flop king.

Suppose you can find an UNbiased, responsiblle source?


Yep, perhaps biased against Kerry. But what specifically is untrue
in what they say?



Didn't bother to read it --

I figured as much.




- find me something from Cnn, cnbc or even faux.

Find it yourself.



Oh, what the hell.

Here you go:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in646435.shtml

“We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know
today," Kerry said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” "Knowing
there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons of
mass destruction, knowing there was no connection of Saddam Hussein to al
Qaeda, I would not have gone to war. That's plain and simple."

Like (as?) I said -- he was deceived.


http://washingtontimes.com/national/...5616-3546r.htm

In that same speech, he vowed to round up all the unguarded nuclear
material in the world within four years, mainly through negotiations. In
another speech, Mr. Kerry promised to name a national coordinator to
combat bioterrorism.



http://mediamatters.org/items/200407060009 (includes clips from CNN)

While CNN considered these relatively innocuous comments a "classic"
flip-flop, the network has ignored much more significant "flip-flops" by
President George W. Bush. As just one example, in a June 22 article about
the Supreme Court's rejection of state laws that give patients in managed
care the right to sue insurance companies for damages, The New York Times
noted:


http://www.nationalreview.com/kerry/waffles.asp

YASSER ARAFAT [07/14 09:52 AM]

FIRST HE SAID: "Terrorist organizations with specific political agendas
may be encouraged and emboldened by Yasser Arafat's transformation from
outlaw to statesman.... [Terrorists] whose only object is to disrupt
society require no such 'role models' as Arafat."

— The New War, by John Kerry, published June 1997

THEN HE SAID: "Obviously, Yasser Arafat has been an impediment to the
peace process... As far as I'm concerned, he's an outlaw to the peace
process."

— John Kerry, interview with the Associated Press, March 10, 2004

(A lot can happen in 7 years)

This is no more than a message board for partisan comments, by
individuals -- scroll down.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=40491

The apparent flip-flops were noted by the American Family Association, a
group battling against moves to establish same-sex marriage.

American Family Association -- yeaj! that's non biased!


Enough -- this is all pollitical BS.

Hundreds more. It was easy. ;-)

Sure just look up all the heo-con comments



Deja Vu......So I ask again what information posted in those links was
not true? Who cares if they came from CNN, ABC or the Weekly
Standard....don't discredit the information because of the
source....discredit the information they posted.

I await your reply. ;-)

You can play the game any way you want -- google bush lies vs Kerry lies,
bush flip flops vs kerry flip flops. You can build a case either way.

Way up at the top of this is a question asking if Bushs' latest move is a
flip or a flop. Closest answer to date was Harry Kraus.


As usual, you did not answer my question but answered with a spin.

Once again:

So I ask again what information posted in those links was not
true? Who cares if they came from CNN, ABC or the Weekly Standard....don't
discredit the information because of the source....discredit the
information
they posted.

I await your reply. ;-)

More childish personal attacks....more proof of my earlier claim that most
come from the left. Why not address the subject of this thread instead of
throwing out childish insults?
