Call it whatever you want. Try to factually argue (that means you need to support your argument with real evidence) any of the above points.
The Republican talking points are:
"Kerry is a flip-flopper". -- okay, that's true. He comes down on whatever side (or sides) of an issue more people would agree with, often changing directions. Bush on the other hand, you know where he stands on everything.
"Bush was left with an economy that Clinton screwed up". Well, actually, the Pres. has very little to do with the economy, but if the Dems are going to argue that the recession was Bush's fault, well, just see the above chart.
I can't think of many others off hand, but you get my point.
