Today's question to ponder. . . .

Why is it when a Democrat changes his position on an issue, it is called "evolving" or "evolution", but when a Republican changes his position on an issue, it's called "flip-flopping" or "waffling"?


Still think the press is unbiased?  I don't.


Most independents are smart enough to know that people learn during the course of their lives, and thus, intelligent people will probably change their positions on issues ("A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," Ralph Waldo Emerson).  Thus, a person, who after careful thought and consideration, changes his position,  is to be admired and commended; one who is forced into voicing a change in his position because his VP once again spewed without thinking, is not.
