If you're looking for consistency in the face of changing conditions from politicians, I'm afraid you haven't been paying attention for more than one election cycle during which either the Presidency or one or more houses of Congress change political hands. It's like the Cheshire Cat announcing that it's time to switch places, and all the politicians dutifully do so, leaving the tired arguments in the seat they're leaving. The people in power take their new seat as the opposition party, pick up the arguments sitting in the chair, and begin hurling them anew without the slightest hint or irony or hypocrisy.

Probably my favorite thing about watching Jon Stewart is when he brings up video of a politician saying "X is true" only to roll video several months/years latter of the same person saying "X is clearly false!" Doesn't really matter if there is a (R) or a (D) after their name, they're all just sock puppets of the monied interests (PAC, Lobby, Union, wealthy individual(s), corporations) that fund their campaigns.
