Very telling. Bush Flip Flops
Taken off of Freeper central. Is very amusing to see no one has responded to this poor kool aid drinkers post. Take notice of the time stamp.

So the Bush campaign wants to talk about flip-flopping? Look at this president's record, sprinkled with a variety of inconsistent and contradictory positions, statements and policies. President Bush calling out John Kerry for flip-flopping makes as much sense as Fox News accusing CBS of having a bias. It is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

While running for president, Bush spoke frequently of his concern for the protection of the environment, a topic that polls well among voters across the board. The Environmental Plan put forth in his 2000 campaign declared that if elected, "Gov. Bush will work to establish mandatory reduction targets for emissions of four main pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide." Three years later, giving in to the special interests of big business, Bush decided in a letter to Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), "I do not believe, however, that the government should impose on power plants mandatory emissions reductions for carbon dioxide."

One of Bush's more famous statements during the 2000 campaign came when he stated, "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." If only President Bush had taken the advice of Gov. Bush. Three years later, on the eve of war, Bush proclaimed, "We will be changing the regime of Iraq, for the good of the Iraqi people."

3. Good for The Battalion
as an Aggie, Class of 92, I'm glad to see they are showing some common sense. I love A&M, but the environment was horribly stifling back then and I understand they are SLOWLY but surely getting to be more normal in terms of not being so extreme far right.

There is even a large Aggie Democrat organization:

Woo-hoo! There were only NINE Aggie Dems in the official organization when I was there and they really didn't publicize themselves either!

bush's flip-flops can't be rationalized or justified by the BEST spin master, why do they think all the bush campaign is doing is bashing Kerry? They've got NOTHING TO RUN ON.

M, a proud liberal Aggie
