Interesting chart, but sticking to your principles is only as good as your principles.

Well I read today that conservatives are pressing for tax cuts for the purpose of creating jobs for Americans.
In 2001, President Bush argued the exact same argument, saying his tax cuts would not add to the deficit and would create 5 million new American jobs. Well, the deficit skyrocketed but job growth did not.
But somehow, the "Tax Cuts Create Jobs" idea is now a principle that must be repeated as if it were Gospel Truth instead of what it actually is, which is an idea that has been tried and has failed, repeatedly.
Why should we try it one more time, just because some assholes are standing on this failed idea as a 'principle?'
Exactly. I'd kiss you but Mrs. Gramps would skewer me. Literally.

Excellent chart. Could be phrased as, "Would to you rather have a flip flopper who will void his contract with the voter at the drop of a hat? Or a person you can depend to stick to the their gunnuts. I definitely want the flip flopper who sees things in shades of grey, rather than black and white. One who will promise you the world and then reverse their decision should change be necessary at any time for any reason - whether their voters like it or not.. For example: Anthony Wiener, Bill Clinton, Teddy and John Kennedy, John Edwards, Gary Condit, Barney Frank and others all were willing to negotiate with their girl eerr friends to reach common ground on a marriage contract or other deal that was a living document, one designed to be continually tuned to the needs of the times. Republicans do the same. They promise to only stay in office one term as part of the contract with America, yet they later decide it is better for everyone if they stay in office. Here are many other fine examples of Republican flip flops. Give me a flip flopper any time. They like to keep you guessing and it makes the world a more exciting, interesting and better place. Stick their gunnutters types are boring, like Bush was to the White House reporters who (tried to) cover social events that seldom happened.
