I think a politician willing to change his stance in the middle of his or her tenure should be looked at as an advantageous trait.

All us young hypocrites keep yelling for politicians to be flexible and then we bash them any time they don't stand up to their principles. We're sending them mixed signals when we do that. I'm sure everyone hates rick santorum for many conservative reasons, but one statement he got booed for when he shouldn't have was when he said "politics is a team sport, sometimes you have to compromise your position."

Not trying to get off topic, but a lot of people are goddamn hypocrites.
