While I understand your point, I really disagree with this assertion. I don't think politicians really flip-flop all that often. I think politicians (on both sides) have nuanced views and have different answers to different questions. Do you support higher pay for soldiers? Yes. Did you support higher pay for soldiers [by voting for a bill that not only would have raised pay for soldiers but also would have required all teenagers to have mandatory abortions]?* No.
The tendency of both parties to misconstrue quotes and votes in the manner, especially in the context of contending that someone flip flops, is very distressing.
* Obviously, I'm making this example up.
