USA Today writes about some wingnuts trying to Googlebomb the word "waffles" with the John Kerry site.
I'm getting so sick of this lie. Bush's flip-flops (<-Googlebomb right there) far outweigh - and are more dangerous than - anything Kerry's allegedly done.
In the most recent cases, it's odd that the Bush campaign would show Kerry's supposed wrongdoings by pointing out the times he AGREED with Bush, but that's beside the point. Kerry has had to modify his stance on this convoluted Iraq mess because the stips by Bush kept flipping and flopping. The $87 billion for Iraq aid was a classic example and the most visible. Kerry was for it when it was supposedly going to be paid for by deferred tax cuts for the rich. Bush later had his mind changed and decided to tack the $87b onto the deficit - and Kerry's support for it went away. I'd say it was a focus shift by Kerry for a damned good reason.
The next time some jackass comes up to you and tells you the Kerry's a flip-flopper, tell them the story of one company who started a community web site for the San Francisco/San Jose market. It was going to be a portal for events, happenings and local sponsors in the Bay Area. One little offshoot section of the site took off like a rocket. The site's owners made a decision to change the focus of their site and - without changing the name of ebay.com - completely retooled it. Today, it's the web's most powerful shopping venue.
A flip-flop? Yeah, you can call it that. Kinda worked out nicely, though, didn't it?
