Flippity floppity
Add another to the flip flop chart.
Since running for senator in 1984, John Kerry has stated that he did not throw away his medals earned in Vietnam, but the medals of another veteran, and some of his own ribbons. He has claimed he did not do such a thing, because he is proud of his military service, and that claims that he did so are "right wing fiction".
If that is true, apparently John Kerry is part of this elaborate scheme to mislead the public. In a taped interview in 1971, Kerry specifically said, "I gave back, I can't remember, 6, 7, 8, 9 medals." The tape of this interview will air tomorrow morning on ABC's good morning america.
Just how many issues can one candidate waffle on?

Wow. I've been studying for the LSATs a lot lately. One of the big things for that test is the arguments section. One of the things you do there is read a passage and then point out the logical flaw in the argument. Of the arguments listed in your second link, nearly ever one of them would be a good candidate for this type of LSAT question.
