How Exactly Would You Define It???
When a Senator votes one way on an issue, then decides he'll vote the complete opposite way the next time the issue comes up, what is that supposed to be called?
Sen. George Allen, R-Va., after coming under fire from some social conservatives for a 2004 vote, plans to reverse course next time and oppose making hate crimes against gay people a federal offense.2008 GOP Presidential hopefuls take note:
"When it comes before the Senate again, he will vote against adding sexual orientation to federal hate-crimes statutes," Mike Thomas, Allen's state director, said yesterday. In 2004, Allen voted the opposite way on an amendment in the Senate.
"I wouldn't define it as a flip-flop," Thomas added.
You gotta shore up the "We Hate Faggots" vote if you wanna win the GOP primary!!!
UPDATE: Click here for a look at the vote breakdown for the hate crimes bill that Sen. Allen regrets voting for last year. Even Zell Miller voted for this thing, so you know Allen is joining some really fast company...
