Don't get me wrong. Not everybody falls into this category. This is being addressed to those that do.

In the movie "PCU", there's a campus group called the "causeheads". The movie humorously caricatures these causeheads as sheep, rallying to the pet cause of their bullhorn toting leader.

Sadly, "causeheads" are more prevalent among us than we'd like to think.

In 1985, I stood with a group of protestors protesting the (now renamed) School of the Americas. We were a VERY small group, and virtually nobody around had even HEARD of the SOA. Now, it's become a club the libs wield against the conservatives, ignoring the fact that THEIR leaders were just as integral in implementing the SOA as were the leaders they are villainizing.

During the first gulf war, I protested our involvement based on my moral opposition to war and the fact I felt the war to be politically motivated. I stood almost alone on that issue, only to see causeheads rally to the wrongness of this more recent war, which has MUCH more justification than Bush 1.0's conflict EVER did!

When the NAFTA vote went before Bill Clinton, I wrote probably the only serious anti-NAFTA protest song written, only to see the liberals lament this law, which was signed under THEIR leader, with a majority of HIS party in Congress at the time.

In 1992, I protested against the electoral college,  on the premise that it disenfranchised the minority party in states with heavy Republican or Democrat leanings. It was not until 2000, AFTER the Democrats lost the electoral college but gained a majority of the popular vote, that I heard the Democrats bang the same gong.

While I don't tend to favor Republicans, I can at least see them as being consistent. Agree or disagree with their position, you KNOW where they will be come election day. The Democrats of recent era have been a party of flip flops (even as far back as 1992, when Bill Clinton started out as being against NAFTA, then said he'd sign it ONLY if US labor and environmental standards were a condition of acceptance, then signed it anyway). You don't know where they stand, and they will turn on anyone if it will give them political mileage.

Sure, there are some bandwagon jumpers among the right. It's kind of our nature, sad to say. But you will find far fewer of them among the right than among the left, whose chameleon-like tendencies have long been a characteristic of their party.
