flip flop

A trite, topical, and out-dated political term invented by republicans for the 2004 ellections. Often used as a term of disparagement to chastize democrats for not supporting every single piece of legislation in favor of one particular thing.

Talking Head 1: Y'know, kerry voted against sending $86 billion of support for our troops. That guy flip flops more than an IHOP!

Talking Head 2: Dude... he wrote his OWN $86 billion troop support bill! And his version said where the money would COME from, instead of just tacking it onto the deficit. Why would he vote for the other bill?
