I'm not going to kick someone who flipflops toward my position, provided they have a convincing explanation and repudiate the failed policy of Xlinton, Bush, etc

I can understand anyone changing their view over the years on a topic, but Thompson's list is growing: CFR, border and immigration issues, No Child Left Behind. And he has only been an official candidate for a week.

Of course, as I stated, he is just one of the bunch, most of whom are flipflopping and pandering all over the map, too.

Actually, I think we've seen most of Fred's "flipflop list" now. I do think that Fred tried to be a team player like most everyone else on this stuff but his natural inclinations are more conservative. This campaign will let Fred be Fred, for better or worse. Probably better.

Exactly. If you apply that standard to the rest of the field, you knock out Mitt/Rudy/McStain as well. I find the leftwing mayor to be so liberal I don't believe anything he says and won't. I'm willing to accept more from Mitt or Fred or even McStain because they aren't fundamentally leftwingers like the pro-NARAL, pro-sodomy, gungrabbing leftwing mayor.
