Shit. They’re using the term “flip flop” again.
Democrats say John McCain flip-flopped on off-shore drilling. Republicans say Barack Obama flip-flopped on public campaign financing.
We need a flip-flop truce in this country. Let’s recognize that reasonable people change their minds from time-to-time. We can hold them to account when they make a habit of changing their minds depending on who is in the room. When we need to call someone out on it, can we please call it something other than flip-flopping?
I propose we call it “being a politician.” Give it time. It’s catchy.
