I disagree he is being completely consistent by being inconsistent which is what he has Been ever since he has been in office.
He acts just like the average career politician by straddling the fence. First one side and then the other.
These career politicians have no solid indwelling moral compass of right and wrong.
It has been eroded over time and replaced with a flexible career driven, party owned, donor sponsored, poll driven one.
A compass that does not point to a reliable fixed position based on truth, but one which focuses on and allows him to follow the constantly changing political winds.
Our career politicans where born ,raised and they live in a world that sings the praises of compromise.
So when they run head on into the sometimes harsh reality of uncompromising truth, such as a deadly fascists movement disguised as a so called religion, which calls for the destruction of all who do not accept it's barbarian rule over them, they do not know how to deal with it.
With leaders like this the terrorists could walk into a negotiating room with a tablet of stone with the words more land , more money and death to Israel carved into it, place it on the table and leave.
They could come back in a few weeks say nothing pick up their tablet and their new treaty with concessions of land, money and then leave and continue their attacks on Israel while our leaders/negotiators extol the progress made by them in the peace talks.
Bush has been fairly consistent with a pro-life stance. He nominated pro-life Supremes. He would not allow federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. He signed a ban on partial birth abortion. This is an inconsistent vote compared to his consistency on life. Sorry. We can quibble with him on some other issues, but he has been life-friendly by and large.
