Flip-flopper vs. Extremist?
I don't understand it- The Bush camp labels Kerry a flip-flopper, and that makes him an untrustworthy leader who can't lead like Bush.

But what about Bush? If you are afraid of Kerry because he is a "flip-flopper" does that automatically mean you have to vote for Bush and his "leadership"? Everybody says one only has to look at Kerry's "liberal extremist" record in the Senate to see that he is wrong for America, but what about Bush's Conservative extremism?

If Bush can label Kerry a flip-flopper and have it stick wth swing voters, can we help cloud their minds (that sounds evil and devious but its the best way I can think of it) by pointing out Bush's record?

You're supposed to vote for the nutbag because he doesn't "flip-flop"?

I mean, I know we're winning, so we might not have to change our strategy, but this is nagging at me when I see all the talking heads on TV talking about Kerry being inconsistant, as if blind consistancy is better.
