The Daily Kos has a list of some Bush flip flops. Changing your position because you’ve reconsidered your postition, or because you have to follow the party line, or because you have to be responsive to the people who vote for you is a big part of the job of being a politician. It’s more shameful to hypocritically accuse your opponent of flip flopping than to flip flop as far as I’m concerned. The Kos list isn’t very tidy, as far as it goes. I think you could make a fine list of times when Bush advocated one policy and then went with another.
