Senator Kerry was brought down four years ago in part from his perceived flip-flop on some key issues. But now both Senator McCain and Senator Obama have both been accused of flip-floppery.
For McCain, one issue covers immigration:
A group of Hispanic lawmakers Friday accused GOP presidential candidate John McCain of “flip-flopping” on immigration.
And for Obama, it surrounds Iraq:
…it’s yet another a full-fledged, full-throated flip-flop, accompanied by a fundamentally flawed reading of the Bush Administration’s current policy…
It seems ridiculous to not expect educated people running the United States to NOT change their minds. Given new information, new viewpoints, and added experience, it’s not only natural but should be expected that our leaders change their minds and tactics. Like a general on a battlefield who has to change tactics and ideas when new information is presented, McCain and Obama ahould be applauded for having the guts to change their minds. In fact, “flip-flopping” is a total non-issue and always appears to be a juvenile, schoolyard cry from politicos who have little else to cry about.
