Didn't Bush Sr. attack Bill Clinton for being a "waffler"?

[WillyBrandt]

And how well did that work?

I'm just saying. Dean would have been "crazy", Clark would have been "creepy", Edwards, should he get the nomination, would be "slick".

The tags will stick only as much as we let them. Keep fighting!

1. Clinton wasn't being attacked on the left in 1992.

Now we have an entire chorus of lefties hauling water for GW.

2. Not so much a chorus as a few hallucinating soloists

4. Umm, Jerry Brown attacked Clinton on the left and in person

Brown claimed that the Democrats and Republicans were the same: corrupted by big money from corporate interests. He wanted to "take back America." And he funded his campaign at the grassroots level solely with donations of at most 100 per donor through an 800 number.

Brown very strongly criticized Clinton for being "politics as usual."

At one point, it was even personal, after some of the stories that would later become Whitewater came out, Brown used them in a debate with Clinton. Supposedly this almost led to a physical confrontation.

BTW, Brown was a fiscal conservative whose platform was both progressive and not progressive. His flat tax proposal comes to mind as the main example of the latter.

3. One of the threads tonight

linked to an article that the standard attack by * is to claim that his opponent waffles on issues. I'll look for the link.
