Mr. Flip-Flop

Tommy Lapid, the head of the political party Shinui, single-handedly put the party on the map. Tommy was a popular television personality, as well as a media mogul. He took the struggling party, and with promises of defeating the blatant stealing of money by the ultra-orthodox, bringing honesty back to government, ending religious coercion, and refusing to sit in a government with those that don't contribute to army service, he led Shinui to become the third largest party in Israel.

Because people believed him.

We gotta stop doing that. We gotta stop believing these politicians that....well....never mind...we just gotta stop believing these politicians.

Tommy Lapid, the head of the political party Shinui, today, single-handedly took the party off the map.

He said he'd sit in the government with United Torah Judaism. This is a party that refuses to do army service. This is a party that manufactures yeshivas so they can steal money from the public's coffers. This is a party that, if they are to join the government, wants all the money back that was taken away from them as the result of Shinui's legislation.

But Tommy says including UTJ in the government is necessary for the disengagement. What disengagement?! Sharon hasn't even removed a single illegal outpost!

Come election time, Shinui's voters are going to go to the polls and have only one thing on their mind (because, I promise you, the next time we vote, we'll still have no disengagement). These voters are going to say, Tommy promised us everything and gave us nothing. He's just like all the rest.

They're going to lose all those seats they gained.
