[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 1757746, member: 20220"] Exactly my point. It seems that the difference between "flip-flopping" and "realizing that your original position was based on incorrect information/knowledge/assumptions or was just plain wrong" is which side of an issue you're on. People write hundreds of thousands of words daily online and in print to convince others to change their minds. Then when that effort succeeds, and someone changes their mind, they're labelled as a flip-flopper, or waffler, or worse. You just can't win. It doesn't pay to hold a particular position these days if you're running for political office. It's like you're not allowed to change your mind. Mine was a general question, not a statement. If at all possible, I'll be voting for Gary Johnson, not any of the GOP candidates. None of them accurately reflect my ideas about what's best for the country, and Santorum is actively anti-libertarian. [/QUOTE]
