Let's face it folks; all politicians flip-flop. Whether you're Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Martian, at one
time or another in their political careers, politicians change their position. But as we've been seeing for
the last month, Republicans have been insinuating that flip-flopping is solely a John Kerry trait. We here at
the BilgeBucket beg to differ. President Bush has a ton of them, too. We feel it's our duty to list them for
you, since the Republican surely won't acknowledge them. Keep checking back for updates.
