Let's go back to 2004 for a moment. It's Bush vs. Kerry. One of the main attacks Bush launched was Kerry changed his mind depending on the political mood, that he was a flipflopper. Many of Bush supporters stated then and even now that they appreciated him because he stayed the course regardless of difficulties. Democratic supporters were indignant, saying it's better to have a president who can assess a situation and change his mind accordingly.

I think about that now as I look at Sanders and Clinton because one of the charges leveled against her is similar to what Bush was saying about Kerry, and people in the Sanders camp gleefully say he's been consistent throughout. That Clinton voted for the Iraq War but now says it was bad. Do we really have that short of a memory? I mean, it was over a decade ago, but we were pissed at Bush then for what he said and now many of those same people are parroting the same shit? Are we thinking before we open our mouths? Do we have no self-reflection?
