United States Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa) Now Agrees
When a politician from the very pro-gun state of Pennsylvania moves from a pro-gun stance to one of gun control, that is not flip-flopping. It's a courageous, conscience-driven change of opinion.
On the other hand when the NRA changes its position from favoring an important gun-control measure to opposing it, that's flip-flopping for self-serving reasons.
What do you think? Please leave a comment.

When your position is determined by a spatula, yup, that's a flip-flop. The electoral sights are not on Casey, so we'll watch closely his votes on unemployment compensation.
ReplyDeleteI think the good Senator is a victim of a fallacy called misleading vividness.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to base policy on his emotions? No wonder the country is so phuc dup.

Hey, since I'm not an NRA member, but I am a long-time supporter of the ACLU, that means my changing from a gun control stance to a pro-gun stance was a courageous, conscience driven change of opinion, too!
ReplyDeleteNo, that sounds more like a fear-driven mistake followed by desperate justification.
DeleteMikeb, would you post your license to practice psychology for us to inspect? Or are you drawing interpretations of gun-rights advocates' psyches on the basis of your prejudices?
DeleteI have to admit, while I don't agree with you or your propensity to accuse others of various shortcomings, intellectual, emotional and otherwise, both are worth a chuckle.
