Clinton Big Flip Flop on MI/FL

This one seems to be easy and is so well known. I am not sure I can add much to for examples just
Google Clinton Florida Michigan flip
.
But, I mention it because this weekend the Democratic Party will review how many delegates from Florida and Michigan to seat.

So, for the record, this is A BIG FAT LIE for CLINTON. One way or the other there is a BIG FAT LIE somewhere in the whole history of her position on FL and MI delegate seating. What are campaigns for but to stress out candidates and judge them by their decisions? In this case the FLIP-FLOP and rhetoric is so obviously related to her own self interest it makes us gag. Even residents of MI/FL must be embarrassed by her outright lies about voter rights.


On the smile side here is a favorite "news clip" of mine:

McCain and Hamas

Senator John McCain has flopped on many issues the lastest one is "dealing with Hamas":





Some commentary:






Most of the flip-flopping since 2008 has been driven by his need to connect o the GOP base.


Listen at the end when they discuss how he told folks at a party in 2000
that he did not vote for Bush. Now, he says he did vote for Bush!

What is a Flip Flop

When a person changes their opinion with no changes in the information used to determine an opinion. So, I am not going to accuse someone of being a flip-flopper when they change their opinion based on new evidence.
A partial flip-flop is when someone makes an opinion or takes action based on underlying philosophy and later changes their action/opinion but not the underlying philosophical stance. A good example of this is BARACK OBAMA stance on public funding and the evils of being beholden to givers of large donations. After he built network of over 1.5 million small donors he seems to have opted out of public funding of the general campaign. So, this is a partial flip-flop.
Maybe someone could suggest a better name?

A BIG FAT LIE is when a person won't own up to their flip-flopping. This seems to be the case with MCCAIN and "dealing with" Hamas.
