		The point, of course, is not that Bradley's political bona fides depend on whether or not he supported the Clinton line during the health-care debate or the government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996.
		It's simply that during the big political fights that roiled the nation's politics over the last decade, Bradley could usually be found on the sidelines rather than staking out or fighting for any clear position.
		If politics at its best is about principles and grand ideas, it is also a matter of doggedness and the willingness to stand and fight important political battles, even when they descend into the sort of nasty political trench warfare that characterized the 104th Congress.

	washingtonpost.com: Despite Bush Flip-Flops, Kerry Gets Label
		Polls have shown overwhelmingly that Kerry -- with his long trail of confusing and sometimes contradictory statements, especially on Iraq -- is this year's flip-flopper in the public mind, a criticism that continued to echo across the campaign trail yesterday.
		A month after the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush's spokesman said the president believed a homeland security department that Democrats proposed was "just not necessary." A year after that, Bush had switched course and was lashing some Democrats for not moving quickly enough to approve the agency.
		The vote may have been wise politics at the time, but came with a high price -- lending an aura of plausibility to the subsequent charges by Bush that Kerry is motivated by opportunism.

		A-List 18 June 2002] US industrial production has about doubled since 1974, whereas the UK for example has stagnated.
		But China has broken free of dependency and is becoming a stand-alone industrial and randd power in its own right, with a broad-based industrial economy as big or bigger than that of the US in absolute (not per capita terms).
		The reason I raise the issue of the coming tide of human displacement from the Chinese countryside at all is geopolitical: here in NE China, one migration outlet is the Russian Far East (RFE).

	Pragmatic Revolt » Blog Archive » Burns Flip-flops once again
		In a move that could only be seen as a political move to try to answer that endorsement, Burns makes a move as a member of the Appropriations Committee to stop new oil, gas and mineral drilling on the Rocky Mountain Front.
		So in summary, Burns chides Tester on Sunday for being against oil drilling in a wilderness area and he tells Tester that we (Montana) should “Sell the Coal” and then on Tuesday, he inserts language into a 2007 appropriations bill that would prevent the drilling of oil, gas and minerals (coal is a mineral, yes?).

	The waffles of John Kerry. - By Michael Grunwald - Slate Magazine
		This list doesn't include quickly withdrawn gaffes, such as Kerry's recent suggestion (retracted after an uproar from Jewish groups) that he might make James Baker or Jimmy Carter his Middle East envoy.
		And it doesn't include the inevitable fund-raising hypocrisies that accompany all modern campaigns, such as his donations from some of the "Benedict Arnold" companies he routinely rips on the trail, or his bundling of contributions from special interests despite his high-minded rejection of PAC money.
		Michael Grunwald, a staff reporter for the Washington Post, is the author of The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise.

	The Flip-Flop Flim-Flam
		This strategy was the brainchild of Karl Rove, Bush's chief political strategist, who decided that the way for Bush to win was to destroy Kerry’s credibility and to attack his leadership qualities, largely by focusing on his alleged inconsistencies about the war in Iraq.
		Rove’s flip-flop charges quickly became the mantra of the Republican National Committee and the GOP apparatchiks who feed sound bites to the broadcast media, especially the Fox News network; and the president made the flip-flop accusation the rhetorical staple of his stump speech.
		No country can sustain itself, much less grow, on a political fare of one-liners, rerun ideas, deliberate distortions, paranoia, and official policy pronouncements borrowed from Orwell’s "1984" - where recession is recovery, war is peace, and a social policy based on aggressive hostility is compassion.

	The Corner on National Review Online
		So, to come back to your point, the "intellectual history" of liberalism is inherently less of a factor for liberals because a core ideal of liberalism is for each person to develop his or her own ideas without being indoctrinated into a specific way of thinking.
		Any dogmatic approaches to politics you see from the left most likely come from the simple, pragmatic fact that our adversaries on the right have so many more weapons of mass persuasion at their disposal than liberals do.
		I was amazed last summer at a political conference for college kids at the way the professional Democrats and liberals on a panel -- with the exception of Peter Beinart -- all began their presentations with "I believe" this or "I feel passionately" that.

		Since I live in a state where the words "spic" and "nigger" are still used by a substantial minority, I never paid much attention to the PC police, but many on the right found it a useful tool to beat liberals over the head with.
		Meanwhile, Karl Rove, Frank Luntz and many other smart political operatives were perfecting the art of changing language for political reasons.
		What is interesting about this little, apparently unimportant word shift for political advantage is how the Republicans are using it to "work the refs," the media.
