This is becoming the 'O'NO! norm...

The very best way to become a completely inept and ineffective elected leader is to adopt a hard and fast position on any given issue, and then rigidly stick to it no matter what changes. In Government and politics, nothing happens without compromise (AKA flip-flops in uninformed circles).

Some might say that a candidate or elected leader who modifies his/her position after a lengthy public debate, and after assessing public opinion, is listening to the will of the people. It all depends upon how one likes to spin/distort things.

Nevermind,
No fair! I was going to post that info!

It does not matter though...most of the folks here think that their poo does not stink. Pointing it out to them will either cause them to attack you or ignore you.

Notice how they still whine about how terrible Obama is even though McCain has flip-flopped/changed-his-mind as well.

And I have yet to see one of them actually post about a real issue - so far it is just hype. I would enjoy a debate about the tax policies of both candidates, but too many people here think an valid argument consists of posting a pic of an Obama potatoE head.

Like Pilate? will of the people. sad.

Doesn't this define a democracy? (of which was never the intention, but has sadly become the result)
