Bush Flip Flops For MidWest Votes

Hoping to gain support among MidWest voters during his visit to Michigan last week Bush stated emphatically that, "We've got to use our resources wisely, like water." He went on to claim, "My position is clear: We're never going to allow diversion of Great Lakes water."1

That's a complete flip-flop from his pre-campaign goal of diverting Great Lakes water to the west and southwest states. In 2003 Bush claimed, "A lot of people don't need the water, but when you head South and West, we do need it." Mr. Bush obvously forgets that his statements are documented.
