(snip) > ...except that Obama has flip-flopped on practically every issue now > that he has secured the nomination. > > Isn't that a form of lying? (snip) Flip-Flop, Flip-Flop, Was made popular by the Rove/Bush/Cheney machine; In the infamous take of John Kerry, wind-sailing.
President Lincoln changed his mind on many occasions, And once when questioned by a reporter, on how many times he had changed his mind, he said, Something about knowing more today, than I did yesterday; And that he 'Didn't respect a man much, who thought exactly today, as he thought yesterday. Lincoln was able to bring this country through a very crazy and brutal time. He had the same qualities as Senator Obama, a willingness to listen to all sides of an issue. A flexibility to compromise, on order to move forward. An openness to everyone taking part in government; The people taking the power back, >From the few, who have been manipulating the many. So, forget about flip-flopping as lieing. This is how much you've been brain-washed by Bush & Co. Evolution requires openness and hearing all sides of an issure, intellectual understanding, an ability to lead through example and inspiration; And a firm belief in the right of all people to be treated with respect and dignity. And, to respect and uphold the Constitution. The opposite in every way from Bush & Co/McCain & Co. R.G.
