Unlike a lot of people who think puppeticians are necessary and The State is a good way to employ them, I have no problem with those who "flip-flop".
To honestly change your mind just means you got more, better, or new information. Sometimes that means your opinion on a matter will go through several stages before you finally end up simply fine-tuning it.
Concerning voting and the Constitution I have flip-flopped several times, and I may do it some more. More information and new ideas come my way a lot. I seem to have settled into a view that only gets minor adjustments now, rather than big flip-flops, but you get the idea.
Now, to change what you claim is your opinion, depending on who your audience is, is not "flip-flopping"; it is lying. This is what most puppeticians do, rather than "flip-flopping".
