Gordon Smith: The Flip Flopper
Many people remember the attacks on Kerry during the 2004 for his flip flop on the war in Iraq. Now Smith too is flip flopping after his sudden change of heart against the war. You'll remember that Smith gave a speech on the floor of the US Senate after his party got their ass kicked in the November election.
In an article that was in todays Oregonian, Smith tells the Eugene Register-Guard this:
"I don't have enough information to say I'm against the (troop) surge."
So are you against sending more troops Gordo?
Who knows? He says he's against the war, but not sure how he would vote in terms of a troop surge.
In terms of spending, Smith has said he's oppose to cuts.
So let me get this straight, he's against the war, not sure about a troop surge and oppose to any cuts to the war.
Typical Gordo spin.

I called Mr. Smith's office to ask about his stance on escalating the war. The aide said he opposed it, yet would do nothing to stop it. He will vote for funding it, he is not interested in investigating the lies and deceit of George Bush. In short, he's simply willing to stand by and watch this carnage continue. Spineless corporate whore.
I went to Sen. Smith's website to send him a comment on the proposed escalation. Imagine my surprise when, on the extensive list of topics from which to choose, there was no listing for "Iraq" or "war in Iraq", etc. However, the listing for "terrorism" appeared at the top of the list, again about 15 items down, and again further down the list alphabetically.
As I do not buy into the invasion of Iraq as having anything to do with the so-called war on terrorism, I ended up sending my comment under "defense".
The D's need to find a good candidate for this seat in 2008.
Steven,
I agree with you on the need to find a good candidate in 2008. If we don't, we are going to be stuck with Slick Gordo until 2014.
