I Heart Flip Floppers

Much has been made lately about candidates' inconstancy of opinions. Ex-candidate Romney, Hilary and McCain have all been lambasted for changing their mind about this or that, accused of not having the courage to stand behind their convictions and even called the dreaded "F" (Flip-Flop) word.

I couldn't be happier.

After 7 years with a president who hasn't changed in mind on ANYTHING, I welcome a wishy-washy, spineless, flapping in the wind, flip-flopper into office.

Convictions are overrated. Look at recent history:

Bill Clinton --- wishy-washy as a sock in a laundromat. Result --- peace, prosperity, budget sanity, love of world.
GW Bush --- resolute, determined, steadfast. Result --- deficits, war, death, hatred from all corners of globe.

I hope the next president can't choose between cheerios and fruit loops without running it past a focus group.
