Title: We have read or heard about Kerry\'s flip-flops....
Post by: luckee on June 03, 2004, 04:28:59 PM

Here are some of DUHbya\'s (http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=42263)

BUSH WANTS OSAMA DEAD OR ALIVE... "I want justice. And there\'s an old poster out West, I recall, that says, \'Wanted: Dead or Alive.\'" [President Bush, on Osama Bin Laden, 09/17/01]

...BUSH DOESN\'T CARE ABOUT OSAMA “I don\'t know where he is. You know, I just don\'t spend that much time on him… I truly am not that concerned about him.” [President Bush, Press Conference, 3/13/02]




BUSH SUPPORTS MANDATORY CAPS ON CARBON DIOXIDE... "[If elected], Governor Bush will work to…establish mandatory reduction targets for emissions of four main pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide." [Bush Environmental Plan, 9/29/00]


...BUSH OPPOSES MANDATORY CAPS ON CARBON DIOXIDE "I do not believe, however, that the government should impose on power plants mandatory emissions reductions for carbon dioxide, which is not a \'pollutant\' under the Clean Air Act." [President Bush, Letter to Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), 3/13/03]



There\'s about 20 of these in there.

Who is the waffle again?

Both canidates a losers. Why can\'t we ever have a feasible 3rd party.

Because all of the current "wanna be" 3rd party candidates are fringe candidates who only appeal to radicals on either side of the spectrum.  

A successful 3rd party candidate would have to offer something appealing to the masses while also showing he is not part of the same "good old boy" organization that has plagued our political system for decades.

Man, I\'m old enough to remember the last Federalist candidate back in the Carter/Reagan campaign. I forgot his name though.

Are you thinking of John Anderson of the "National Unity" party?  He got 6.6% of the popular vote.  That seems gigantic by today\'s standards for a third party candidate.
