So we are all going to support a politician who has been absolutely steadfast in his beliefs throughout the years are we? Come in Mr. Paul, I am sure that the electorate respects you and will vote for you!
He pretty much is the only one that has stuck to his guns, isn’t he?
RE: So we are all going to support a politician who has been absolutely steadfast in his beliefs throughout the years are we?
Personally, I respect a politician who has been steadfast in his beliefs. BUT IT HAS TO BE RIGHT BELIEFS. Pelosi has been steadfast in her beliefs, doesn’t mean we should support her.
And as for changing one’s mind (AKA FLIP-FLOP). If the change is towards the correct view ( e.g. global warming is bunk ), it is still very difficult to determine whether it comes out of a genuine change of heart ( because he believes his previous belief was wrong ), or because he just wants your vote....
In this area, I’m not sure I can trust Newt and/or Mitt on these.
I believe Bachmann and Santorum are the most CONSISTENTLY correct and steadfast in their stance on issues.
