And some people don't follow anybody, so they can make up their own minds on the issues because they realize that no one philosophy is so sound as to adequately explain every possible issue. I think...i hope...there are more of those people out there than the media (and this list) is leading me to believe! Plus, what constitutes as a flip-flopper.

What I've found in most cases, is that if Person A labels Person B a "flip flopper", it's because Person B no longer agrees with Person A. The flip flop argument tries to play on emotion over reason. It hopes to avoid any discussion about the actual issue, and whether reason or knowledge could have played a role in the decision to change positions. My take on it is that "flip-flopper" has become a meaningless word > because pretty much anyone in Washington could be considered a > flip-flopper based on voting patterns.
