What is it about changing your mind on an important issue that makes the main stream media call that change "flip-flopping"? Obama is being called a flip flopper for his change in his attitude about campaign financing. McCain is a flip flopper over his change in oil drilling policy. When did we, as the American public, start accepting that a change in one's perception based on new and creditable information was a dastardly thing? As I have said before, my wise but uneducated father use to say, "A wise man often will change his mind, a fool never does." I'd like some SoWaller's thoughts on this phenomenom which I feel is caused by the news media, particularly the TV networks. I think it goes along way toward stirring the pot unnecessarily and artificially creating a dissension between the political parties that shouldn't exist. What do you think and is there any solution? Or is it a non issue.
