What do you mean by black and white?

Bush was against a Homeland Security Dept. before he was for it.
Bush was for caring where OBL was before he was against it.
Bush was against campaign finance reform before he signed into law.
Bush was against big government before he got a $1.2 trillion Medicare bill that he claimed cost only $350 billion passed
Bush was for war as only a last resort before he was for it.

The list goes on and on.

well, to me it seems as if the conservatives are more of get an idea, run with it, don't let anyone in your way.  And democrats try way to hard to please everyone. 

As for examples, I'm not sure that jfern is factual, but there's only one clear thing that I can think of that would qualify George W. Bush as a flip-flopper and that is that he said in one of the 2000 debates that he was against the idea of nation building, when it's obvious that Iraq and Afghanistan are clear examples of it.  However George Bush does have a clear stance on abortion, social security reform, and tax cuts.

As for the Democrats, you have John Kerry whose relativism made it unclear what his stance on abortion, or what his long term plan for Iraq is.

Republican bullsh**t. Like a large fraction of the population, is personally opposed to abortion, but favors that it be legal, safe, and rare. John Kerry's long term plan for Iraq was to rebuild the country.
