My problem comes in when someone runs on something like it is burned into their soul, buries the other candidate running against them on that point because it gets them votes and THEN changes their mind. That burns me.
New information to change your mind, that's just being smart.

I agree with your differentiation. What burns me is when a candidate legitimately changes their position based on new information and then gets called a flip-flopper. Isn't there a saying like "consistency is a sign of little minds?" Changing their mind for a purely political reason or based on polling numbers is really bad, but all too common.
