Junkernaut, Romney's changing position on abortion is WHY I'm so leery of him. I mean he's WON the debates I've seen him in but I don't trust him.

So yes Republicans are capable of flip flopping.

WHAT republicans and the older generation of Democrats (with a few notable exceptions like Ted Kennedy) DON'T DO (generally speaking) is to so BLATANTLY work for the DEFEAT of THEIR country.

The most recent pre-Bush example was Clinton in Kosovo. Many republicans/conservatives (myself included) opposed that war. But we didn't leak information to the enemy. We didn't stand up on the Senate floor and declare that our troops had "lost the war" or were "murdering, raping and pillaging in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan" or were "breaking down doors in the dead of night terorizing women and children" or were the equivalent of "nazis" or had "murdered civilians in cold blood".

Disagreeing with a war is one thing. Actively working to ensure your county's DEFEAT is quite another. Used to we could assume that all politicians were Americans first and though they had differences they were all interested in victory in the sad event we had to fight a war.

Today however the DEMOCRAT party has shown that it is interested solely in POWER and will gladly allow the
US to be defeated if it suits their political agenda. THEY get mad anytime someone "questions their patriotism". Well I AM questioning the patriotism of a Senator who while troops are in combat goes on the Senate floor to declare them to be "losers"! There ARE people who oppose the war and ARE patriotic but apparently there are NONE of THEM in the Democratic leadership!!!
