Is Howard Dean a Flip-Flopper?

[TrueAmerican]

Poll question: Is Howard Dean a Flip-Flopper?

Do you feel Howard Dean has flip flopped on many issues?

[Hep]

1. Supplemental poll

Is TrueAmerican really a True American?

[TrueAmerican]

2. Why are you questioning my patriotism?

Why don't you just address the poll?

Who knows?

[Ficus]

16. That's an interesting comment. "With us or against us"?

Are you saying that only Dean supporters are "true Americans"?

Hmm, sounds familiar....

[Terwilliger]

9. My candidate vs your candidate

My candidate is flexible, your candidate is a flip-flopper.
My candidate is persistent, your candidate is stubborn.
My candidate respects special groups, your candidate panders.
My candidate is passionate, your candidate is a hot head.

Each candidate is what he/she is. What you're asking is which name would we attach to how a particular candidate is. In other words, the question is not "is Dean a flip-flopper," but rather "Do I like to attach the label 'flip-flopper' to Dean for being what he is."

11. Who cares

flop-flip? makes no difference to me.

13. Please name one or two of the many

I have been following the Dem primary pols since the IWR, and I haven't noticed any Dean flip-flops.

[TLM]

14. Dean once asked for Rye bread toast...

and when the waitress brought it to him, he switched to sourdough.


Clearly he's a kitten killer.

15. Once again, the holier than thou

pass forth their judgement. TA, this is a rediculous question. Do you know what politics is? Do you understand that compromise, changing your mind, adopting new positions, etc. is the nature of the beast? Do you also understand that time alters perceptions, needs, ideas, etc., and that what a person believed 10 years ago can change today? Is "ideological purity" what we're looking for--SHOULD we be looking for that?!?

Once again, proof of self-destruction on our part.

I suppose you'd like to see a candidate that hasn't had a change of heart or mind over the last 20 years or so as our nominee. Unfortunately, Strom Thurmond is dead, and Reagan's got Alzheimer's. Maybe Byrd, if he were still in the KKK, or Senator Jeffords, had he not jumped across the aisle--damn flip-floppers.

18. I'm locking this.

It is just flame bait.
