As John Kerry said it, you can be consistent and be wrong. As I said before, flip-flopping is the hallmark of an intellectual. Obstinacy is the hallmark of a dictator: Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein and now Bush all have this in common. The modus operandi is clear to me. Bush is of course democratically elected, but he works the same way. Either that or Dick Cheney is really the real president. Word of advice republicans: cut back on the chickenhawks.
