I would side with the strong people, politicians who flip-flop, in my opinion are fakes, blowing in the wind, they stand for nothing other than gaining power for selfish motives. However to clarify, over time, some famous politicians have changed their stances slowly and over time, due to life experiences, and some didn't change their opinions, but became more flexible over time in order to negotiate with the other side, and get things done, their never changed their mind, but they got their victories when they could take them. That I respect, a sense of pragmatism, or someone gaining life experience, and seeing things in a new light. My political opinions 4+ years and my beliefs now are drastically different, but that's just simply because I've lived and learned, saw where I was wrong, looked into various opinions, instead of simply shutting them out, sometimes those of opposing opinions were right, sometimes they weren't, I took the good and left the bad behind... Now someone on the other hand like Donald Trump, who for many years was a center-left guy, and now in the last month that he claims that he wants to run for President, he has suddenly become Mr. Conservative (and suprisingly, some are buying it), going to the extreme right, questioning Obama's birthplace. That's selfish pandering to get power, people like that I have no respect for...
