Maybe it is utterly impossible to adhere to fundamentals principles when it comes to politics, but I'm an optimist. And I will not supply a double standard for Barack under any circumstances, even if it is to beat some Bush agenda. I also kinda have some derision for the term "flipflop" while we're at it. I think there's a clear line of distinction between flipflopping and gathering information, assessing your current position, and altering it due to the new information if you find out that your current position is the wrong position. I think this whole "McCain flipflopped on offshore oil drilling because years back he was against it but now he's for it" is utter bullshit. He gathered information and then changed his opinion thusly. Flipflopping to me is saying one thing on one day, and then a couple days later saying another thing in an attempt to garner more votes. And if Barack switches his position on this, it's more likely he's going to be "flipflopping" rather than changing his opinion based on facts and information, though I could be wrong, who knows In any case, barring that off-beat tangent right there, I'm not in favor of these double standards for Barack no matter what foe or agenda he may be up against. Practice what you preach, Barack.

I get it...as for flip flopping I hate that term to begin with. If Americans payed enough attention they would probably prefer someone who is honest and had integrity. They don't. They wanna know who will send them a stimulus check TOMORROW, who will lower gas prices so they can drive their RV to Disney World next summer, who will protect them from evil terrorists and Husseins...etc...and the Republicans know exactly how to play the game...
