9. It is supposed to show that you will switch your ideals...
... when it is politically convenient. That you are willing to do anything to get elected and stay in power.
It really only effects Democrats though. If we switch one of our positions we are portrayed as flip floppers who are cynically using faux values to fool voters.
Repukes don't have this problem though. The minute they switch a position they lauded for becoming enlightened, and their knuckles seem to drag the ground a little less. The only people it turns off are the absolute wing-nuts.
