Wait, did you do a quick-edit?

It's not a moot point, it's also like saying 'they used to support it, until their opponents supported it and now they hate it'. Depends on context, of course. But it's not invalid to begin with. It's sometimes hard to take a politician seriously if he's railing against something eerily similar to something he supported not that long ago, after all. Gives reason to look at the motives for changing it, anyway. For example, if I read about the republicans supporting immigration amnesty in the past, and now oppose it, I'd like to know what their reasons for chancing were - was it actually a bad idea to begin with, or are they now just pandering votes by being tough on immigration?

Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
