Well i would like to say that the current winner of the Flip Floppery award goes to Nancy Pelosi. I am definitely for sure that with the current state of American Politics, this could change within the next few minutes.
It is amazing to me that during an election year, politicians will do things that they would normally not think of doing. They will sell their souls for a vote.
It is no difference with the Democrats in Congress. Here lately all they can do about the gas price situation is complain about Oil companies. They will talk about how evil these companies are. They fail to realize that mess that is going on with the gas situation was created by rules and regulation they themselves put in place. Which means that the evils of an indifferent Congress great over shadows any "evils" that the Democrats blame on the oil companies.
Well Nancy Pelosi has been very adamant about how off shore drilling ban will never be lifted as long as she is in charge. she has even went so far as to say that she would block any bill that would seek to lift the ban. But once she saw the hype on the news about drilling off shore, and the positive news that the Republicans were getting due to their stance on the subject, she said that there might be a possibility to lift the ban. Then when she found that public sentiment toward drilling was building, she changed again stating that she would back the lifting of the ban. But now she has flipped once again stating that she would back a partial lifting of the ban.
It is one thing to listen and act on what the people want. But it is another thing to change your tune depending on the wind. One thing i wish the politicians would do for once, whether they are right or wrong, stand up for something and stand firm on that ideal.
Sell Outs!
Viva Liberty!
