I’m Larry Putnam. Flip flopping is something to think about while Steve Sauder is on vacation.
To me, Hilary Clinton is not likable. That smugness causes me to view issues opposite of her on just about every issue. Sometimes, I forget how I feel on the topic.
But after she was accused of flip flopping again, I found myself siding with her on this point. One should be able to change their mind after they learn or new facts emerge. Smart people adjust.
We all change our minds. At one time, I thought Ned Yost was an idiot. I changed my mind. I thought he should have been manager of the year after our World Championship. The facts didn’t change, but I learned.
Obama care is not working. Health Insurance companies are bailing; doctors want out; middle class people in good health are paying an enormous tax in the form of larger and larger premiums. My health insurance premium has jumped 63% in 2 ½ years. This system is going to cave. Our president should flip flop and look for alternatives.
The Kansas tax system is not working. We tried the Governor’s idea and it isn’t working. Our Governor should flip flop and reinstitute income taxes for all income earners.
The KU athletic director sold out the rural fans so that they could not watch 7 basketball games. He should flip flop (like he did on Charley Weis) and reinstate those 7 games for next year.
As Hilary has taught us, you don’t have to admit you made a mistake, just say the facts changed and go a different direction. Get it right. Flip flopping could become a positive trait.
