Interesting. About the confederate flag, though; cant one say it is national heritage and part of history while still thinking it should no longer be flown in any states?

Said it before... my fear is to have the two primary candidates be McCain and Clinton. If either one wins then this country is screwed.

BTW, I am a Republican.

Good stuff. This election is going to be an interesting but tense one.

The brilliant editor has done a service to the US, IMO.

Oh noooes, what will the republicans do, they now have their very own Straight Talkn' Flip Flopper!

Though to be fair, he does provide straight talk, it's just that the direction changes whenever it's convenient.

Unfortunately, all too many politicians are guilty of that.

Ooh, very clever. For the most part, he didn't actually contradict himself. The actual content of his language was mostly consistent in a logical sense. It was extremely misleading, though. It might be simultaneously true, for example, that the confederate flag is both a symbol of one's heritage and a symbol of racism, oppression, and bigotry. But that's not really a heritage to be proud of.

The gay marriage bit was just poor communication, though; he didn't come close to contradicting himself.

Ok, how do we get this onto national television in about 7 months?

Videos with a biased political agenda in your top 15? It's more likely than you think.

There's no context about the Iraq stuff. He could have been saying "easy" with regard to the military operation (and it was), while still recognizing that the occupation would be difficult.

His cozying up to the far right is definitely shameful, though.

With the marriage thing he seemed to be distinguishing between the religious / ceremonial aspect of marriage and the legal aspect. I'm not saying that makes sense but it's not necessarily contradictory.

The liberal-media-in-complete-denial chose McCain over real conservatives, only turning on him after the real threats were marginalized.

2008 is the year of halves.

Half a conservative is better than half of the Clinton crime family or a half-Black drone and his legions of hopebots.

The politics of failure have failed! We must make them work again!

Personally I don't care if he flip flops or not, I think he is a warmonger and would hate to see him win.

???

The cute little gays (can substitute "children" in there) should go ahead and have their little pretend ceremony. But we're not recognising it as LEGAL. That'd be mental.

In this land of the free, you are free to marry the people we allow you to marry!
