President Bush is the biggest flip-flopper ever. He said he would hunt Osama bin Laden down and capture or kill him. He hasn’t.

He told the people of New York City he would not use the tragedy of Sept. 11 for political gains. He has.

He accuses John Kerry of using fear tactics in regards to Social Security to garner votes, but much of Bush’s campaign has been the use of terrorism to drive fear into the hearts of Americans as a reason to vote for him.

He didn’t want to form the Sept. 11 commission until victims’ families pressured him into it. He didn’t want to testify before the commission until Dick Cheney went with him.

He said war would be a last resort, and we now know that his administration had a plan to attack Iraq before Sept. 11 and rushed in unprepared to win.

He called the U.N. irrelevant and now has to go begging for them to help in Iraq.

He promotes being a law-and-order president but scoffs at the World Court and international treaties.

He promotes his Clear Skies Act as a symbol of concern for the environment, yet upon taking office, instructed his administration to drop all environmental prosecutions already in process.

He campaigned during the last election as a uniter, not a divider, but his statement of “You’re either with us or against us” speaks volumes as to why this country is so divided.
