From good old Mad Magazine (who among us was not unduly shaped in our formative years through hours of study?), this scanned page that’s been floating around comparing Jesus’ words to Bush’s position on various issues. It is a puzzle to me how a leader so steeped in his faith can stand so firmly against the central tenets of that very same belief system.
Also interesting: Who’s the Flip-Flopper? — an AP story chronicling some of the more dramatic about-faces of Bush’s presidential career — a series of directional and policy shifts that are collectively just as flip-floppery as Kerry’s. Politics, like life, is just that way – the terrain shifts, the available information changes, our response to it morphs to accomodate.
Thanks Steve and Frank
My comment on the flip-floping issue is encapsulated in a TomTommorow cartoon.
Is light a particle or a wave? No flip flopping!

The Center for American Progress did a big write up on this (probably where the AP picked it up) here:
