Allen Flip-Flops

Yesterday evening on Hardball, Dick Wadhams made a pathetic attempt to pain Jim Webb as a waffler. Unfortunatley for Mr. Wadhams, Jim Webb doesn't flip flop on important issues. But George Allen sure as hell does. Heres a list-

George Allen originally supported federal funding for stem cell research, but then changed his position on August 7 2005.

George Allen originally voted on June 15, 2005, on an amendment to include sexual orientation in hate crimes laws. The Christian Coalition then criticized Allen because that vote broke a promise he made to them in 2000. In December 2005, he flip flopped back to his original position, stating he does not support sexual orientation as a protected category.

Seems like old George just can't make up his mind, doesn't it? Does he support common sense positions held by most Virginians, or would he rather pander to his right wing base to sure up his presidential bid?
