[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 376770, member: 2189"] There is a measure of "flip-flopping" that what you 2 are saying is true but I'll give you one case for each candidate where I think my claim has some merit. McCain- Taxes In March of this year, McCain claimed in effect, no new taxes, which I even agree was a stupid thing to say in light of economic facts. As much as I hate big gov't, I see no way for either candidate to avoid tax increases since there is no drive to cut spending. Now recently, McCain said an increase in SS payroll taxes may be needed which ignited the conservative "no tax" amen corner and now McCain is trying to back track to mend those fences. McCain's record over time however bears that he is not against tax increases by any stretch. Conclusion: Situation politics or for the simple minded, flip-flops! Obama: Telecom Communications Act. Obama paraded the underlying principles to publically oppose this legislation and when the money was on the line, he voted the other way. Situation politics again. I might concede your points on his "flip-flops" concerning MidEast policy and having opportunity to look closer at the facts but if he does nothing to change the underlying foreign policy of the US that gets us in the middle of others affairs to the point that we get trapped in these type scenarios (Jones my guess is you'll understand that comment more than others here, yeah I just said Jones is smarter than the rest of you smucks :wink2:) IMO, this will mean he's engaging in situation politics or again, flip-flopping. I think both men engage in situation politics for the soul purpose of getting elected and if we disagree, then we agree to disagree! :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
