THE ULTIMATE FLIP-FLOP COMPLIMENTS OF PATTY WETTERLING
How can Patty Wetterling state on her campaign website under the headline "Patty Pushes for Bipartisan Sex-Offender Legislation", when she doesn't know if she would support the bill?
"Although Wetterling lent her voice to Tuesday's rally in favor of the bill, she expressed concerns that some of its provisions were too broad and that it wouldn't provide enough funding for local law enforcement agencies. She said she favored Minnesota's tiered classification system for sex offenders over the Children's Safety Act's approach, which wouldn't distinguish between violent and nonviolent offenders.
'The challenge is, you can't treat all sex offenders the same; they're not,' said Wetterling, who added that she needed 'to study every little piece' of the bill before saying whether she would vote for it if she were elected to Congress." Source: Pioneer Press, July 28, 2005

"The legislation sends the message, Wetterling said, 'We will not tolerate sexual violence against our children.'
But after the rally, Wetterling said she had misgivings about certain parts of the legislation, particularly those that deal with juvenile offenders.

"Other parents of child victims also spoke in favor of the legislation, including Patty Wetterling, who founded the Jacob Wetterling Foundation after the abduction of her 11-year old son 16 years ago. He has never been found.

It use to be difficult for Wetterling to take a position on anything, now she is taking both sides of the same issue!
