I'd rather have a candidate saying "I will bring America into a new age of Nazi communist rule" than one who says "I shall reign in a new age of democracy" followed by an executive order declaring a national emergency and the full reassignment of all legislative and judicial powers to the executive branch to ensure the safety and order of the American people.Why is flip-flopping seen as such a bad thing? I never really understood that.
It seems to me that being willing to admit that you were wrong, or at least being willing to consider the possibility is actually vital for any leader of anything. Do people really believe that there are candidates out there who have never been wrong about anything?
Have a nice day.
Willing to admit you are wrong has nothing to do with it, supporting something does not make you inherently wrong. Stick by your morals and beliefs, and make a note of it if you change a view, don't throw up some sham to get elected. It's the exact reason why Kerry lost, he had no balls and repeatedly changed his stances on just about everything to the point where nobody really understood wtf he stood for anymore.
