McCain , the bigest flip flopper since Kerry.

from PolMach Forums

* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)

*McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

 * McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.

 * McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.

* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.

* McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.

 * McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

* And now he’s both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.

At least he has years to flip and flop, whereas Obama is starting to do it monthly.

FLAME ON!

Better update your knowledge. Falwell is dead.

Haven't you listened to the faux noise network, we are now ordered to believe that its a "reasoned change" when McSame does it. Its only a flip flop when its politically convenient for the Republican party.

Change that for "The party you support"  ;)

I used to respect Senator McCain for being a very moderate, sensible member of the Republican party that stood up for his own personal beliefs, and ran against his own party (sometimes more often than not).

Now I see that he has begun to alter his own "beliefs" in order to, in his mind, make his bid for presidency more successful.

Maybe he should believe in change, rather than change what he believes.

I think that is a fitting slogan for virtually any politician. Fitting, but unused.

Pretty typical for politics. All of the position changes and nonsense have been pretty much true of every presidential candidate.

One of the first things most candidates do is to try and move more in line with the middle in order to win those votes. Frankly, when it comes to campaigns I don't believe a single word any of them say. They just want to win, and that's true regardless of which party they suckle from.

To make a reasoned, rational voting choice one should be looking at their past records not listening to the campaign bullshit.

More (unoriginal) childish nonsense. I'm sure the fourth graders find this sort of thing amusing but most adults can't take someone seriously when they use this sort of silliness in lieu of making intelligent statements.
