This is one of the most frustrating problems in American politics. Politicians are not allowed to make mistakes, they are not allowed to admit they've made mistakes, and they're not allowed to learn from their mistakes. (They're freely allowed to criticize their opponents' mistakes, though.) If they ever change positions on any issue for any reason, they're accused of waffling or flip-flopping.
