C-Span 2: Lautenberg listing Bush's FLIP/FLOPS!!!
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 09:45 AM by gauguin57
Sen. Frank Lautenberg of NJ even has a colorful chart, with Flip at the top of column and Flop at the top of the other. "Flip" is Bush's promises; "Flop" is the broken promises.

He's starting with "No Child Left Behind" and moving on from there. ... now we're at Assault Weapons Ban ...

Go Frank! Go Frank!

"The President has flip-flopped more than he has stayed the course," Sen. Lautenberg says!

1. Does the Senator have...
a 3-hour time slot, coz it'd take at least that long to do ALL of bush's flippy-floppys. :D

4. call me when CNN covers it.
until then... this means nothing because the average voter in the us doesn't watch CSPAN.

Its nice to see politicians standing up to these bullies, but unless we impress upon the media that this stuff is interesting to the viewers acts that don't get any coverage might as well just not exist.

8. now that is great!
but we need Leslie Blitzer to have to say it and turn a unique shade of purple as he says it. THAT would be worth saving.

6. Again, we help Bush.
The flip/flop is killing us. It is too late to do anything but damage control. When we say flip/flop, the majority of America's blue collar crowd instantly thinks Kerry. The words have stuck in the minds of American voters as being associated with Sen. Kerry. We were too late in attacking the lies.

When we try to use the phrase, we are helping Bush.

The average American voter is just that: average.

9. We need a new "flip-flop" phrase for Bush...
Tis true, flip-flop reminds one of Kerry. Have to think of a new phrase, with similar meaning, to bestow on Shrub. Any ideas?

7. He's talking about what Bushies did to Max Cleland.
Saying the Repugs' calling him "soft on defense" was UNPATROTIC.

He's getting hot, and calling them all "CHICKENHAWKS" -- people who make war for OTHER people to fight.

Love you, Frank!
