The third is that people's views can change over time and statements/actions in the past don't necessarily represent their current views. You have the NDP dredging up examples from the past to prove someone's current position on a subject, even in the face of regrets expressed, apologies given and statements contradicting the past.
The question is whether or not you believe that a person can change their mind on a matter or do they hold that belief for their entire life?
